Communication in Engineering (Routledge, 2014). In 2016, Dr. Leydens won the Exemplar in Engineering Ethics Education Award from the Na- tional Academy of Engineering, along with CSM colleagues Juan C. Lucena and Kathryn Johnson, for a cross-disciplinary suite of courses that enact macroethics by making social justice visible in engineering education. In 2017, he and two co-authors won the Best Paper Award in the Minorities in Engineering Division at the American Society for Engineering Education annual conference. Dr. Leydens’ recent research, with co-author Juan C.

The first edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21 st Century 1 (BOK1) was released in January 2004. Based on various inputs, a second edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21 st Century 2 (BOK2) was developed and released in February 2008. The BOK1 has already impacted accreditation criteria and civil engineering curricula. The BOK2, while being more recent and not yet addressed within accreditation criteria, is motivating additional change in some civil engineering curricula

While many states have other additional pathways to engineering licensure for those not having an EAC/ABET degree (commonly also requiring additional years of engineering experience), the NCEES Model Law does not provide for any alternative formal educational path other than being a “graduate of an engineering of 4 years or
the ability to work together while solving an open-ended designproblem, and being able to overcome any obstacles that arise. These obstacles involve differingwork ethics, personalities, and communication styles. Inevitably, these differences can lead toconflict, and a need to resolve disagreements within the team. These ever-present emotionalaspects to working in a team are found not only in student projects, but also on the projects theywill be working on once they graduate. Finding the skills as a student to successfully navigatethe myriad of issues that may arise when working with others, sets student up for success in theirengineering careers after graduation, as shown by Jones (1996) [1] and Seat et al.

The interdisciplinary team was comprisedof twelve faculty members across the College of Engineering, the School of InternationalAffairs, Penn State Law and the LPE director. The team worked on MELP’s curricular structurebetween January and March 2020, including adopting a systems thinking approach as theframework for students to understand law and policy as systems within systems.The context of engineering is one dominated by systems and the
of EEP non-participants also shared criticism ofentrepreneurship and EEPs, moving beyond disinterest into specific concerns aboutentrepreneurial spaces. These women STEM academics described critiques or concerns about thepractices of entrepreneurship conflicting with their personal ethics and/or stances that academiashould not be about making money. For example, Dr. Madani shared: “I just want to be on the record as saying I am flat-out straight against entrepreneurship because as a scientist, I don’t want our students to grow up thinking, “I’m making this to sell it.” I am 100% supportive of entrepreneurship mindset” (Madani Interview, 04/29/2021)Dr. Madani’s exemplar animates the challenges some women STEM faculty

The author will travel with the students and be onsiteduring the first 3 weeks of the program. During these first three weeks at the host institution,weekly 2-hour research development workshops are to be held (Table 3). These workshops aredesigned to provide students with information on how to be an effective and ethical scientist.Since many of the student participants will be new to scientific research, workshop topicsinclude: the scientific method, hypothesis formulation, searching the scientific literature,managing references, writing scientific reports, experimental design, laboratory documentation(lab notebooks and data
constructionof the new knowledge in the current subject. An attempt is made in this paper to map some of theengineering courses using the concept mapping tool Cmap [2].Concept map developmentIdentifying a focus question is paramount in the construction of the concept maps [1]. For mostof the engineering courses, the focus question can be ‘how to design in engineering ’? The nextstep is to identify a few concepts that are pertinent to the question. In engineering design, we usemath and science to find solutions for engineering problems. But in the process of arriving atsolutions to problems, we should be conscious and consider questions of ethics, safety, empathy,human interface, and other values. The above values are informed, for the most part, by

Engineers may graduate from ABET accredited programs that ensure engineersmeet the standards of the profession11. One responsibility listed is understanding “professional,ethical and social responsibilities”11. Ethics for engineers deal with professionalism andunderstanding implications of their work12. The American Society for Engineering Education’sethics code appears to encourage safety by reducing conflicts of interests and partiality12.The disciplines of engineering can be put into 4 main groups; chemical, civil, electrical, andmechanical13. These groups are split into smaller concentrations with specific specialties. Despitethe concentrations
opportunities such as participating in after-school tutoring and clubs, coaching andjudging academic teams, partnering with teachers on classroom projects, and hosting workplacevisits and apprenticeships. Our focus is on increasing the quantity and quality of our STEMprofessionals’ engagement; therefore, we promote STEM volunteering opportunities as well asprovide sessions with a group of STEM mentors that require less time commitment and buildtrust for future opportunities. This, in effect, mentoring of mentors, will reduce the anxiety ofnew mentors and expand the acceptance of mentoring into the "new normal" of quality, highimpact STEM mentoring. Additionally, to raise the level of ethical responsibility of the mentors,mentors are required to review
EducationBodnar and colleagues [1] conducted a systematic review of game-based learning withinengineering. Through an inclusion/exclusion filtering process, 191 studies were included in theprimary review set, of which 62 included studies on learning outcomes [1]. The reviewdemonstrated games have been used in a variety of engineering disciplines ranging from first-year programs to core disciplines to specific topics within engineering such as ethics and design.However, the most frequent published use of games was in computer, mechanical, electrical, andfirst-year engineering disciplines. There was also a diversity of the types of games being used inengineering classrooms, including gamification methods, board/card games, and digitalimplementations, with

It is a very dynamic and rich program, developed in modules, followed in severalcountries in the world. It follows the trend of global formation of professionals, mainly to attendthe need of a prepared engineering educator to act in the several different cultural environments,which mobility has imposed as a fact of life for researchers and teachers at graduation level.

remaining twelve modules were equally divided amongelectrical, mechanical, and automated manufacturing topics. The students assembled and tested electronicscircuits; designed, made, and tested a small mechanical part; and programmed robots and operated anautomated manufacturing system. The course was taught by six faculty and used six different laboratories. The course provided the students with an engineer’s view of engineering problem solving. Itincluded the engineering approach to the design of products and processes, engineering heuristics, anddiscussions of engineering ethics. The course included structured, engaging laboratory sessions, and thisexperiential learning aspect of the course was particularly well received by the students
