data collected for accreditation.Methodology:ESG 201: “Learning from Engineering Disaster”, a 3 credit asynchronous online undergraduatecourse taught to both engineering and non-engineering majors by the presenter at Stony BrookUniversity for the past 12 years, has proved to be a successful method for teaching ethics as wellas the broader societal implications of engineering processes and technological design (10). Acombination of lectures, case studies, laboratory demonstrations, interviews, video site visits andteam-based collaborative analysis of engineering failures and their implications (societal,environmental, economic, legal, psychological) has proved successful in teaching the role ofengineers and engineering in society, as well as

the analysis of the applicationsusing them. This approach is used in many different areas of electrical engineering and withsuccess in engineering science programs. However, many of the engineering technologyprograms would not be able to implement this approach easily due to the limitations on extracourse credits available, and the time needed to complete prerequisite courses in math andphysics as well as the higher levels of math and physics required compared to engineeringscience programs. Another obstacle to a practical teaching approach is a lack of properlyequipped laboratories because of the prohibitively higher prices of the equipment used in RFengineering compared to other areas in electrical engineering [2].Curriculum Design

recycled to perform casting.Background & Theory Sand casting is associated with a limited number of Capstone senior design programs offeringbachelor’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering [i]. However, the technique is absent inthe mechanical engineering Capstone literature; presumably because it is not used elsewhere tosupport ME senior design. Some casting examples do exist in ME manufacturing laboratoryclasses [ii,iii], but predominantly simulation is used in leu of the physical casting process to aidstudent learning and understanding of underlying phenomena. [iv,v] To incorporate sand casting applications in an ME Capstone senior design course, we deployedthe “Energy Engineering Laboratory Module” (EELM) pedagogy. EELM

course description for Numerical Computing for Chemical Engineers course at MissouriUniversity of Science and Technology states that students will “add to their programming skillsby exploring numerical computational techniques for … chemical engineering processes.” Thechallenge is that the course is taught early in the curriculum before the students know what thosechemical engineering processes are. The course has been structured as a flipped class with classtime devoted to solving problems with the numerical tools. To provide relevance for the material,an experimental component has been added to the course. In the laboratory sessions, the studentsconduct a brief experiment or activity and then analyze that process using the

From the literature[14, we utilized an inductive coding consisting of three constructs: attributes, professions, andactivities. When coding for attributes, we considered perceived gender, collaboration, andself-identification. For profession, we coded the type of work depicted or described in thedrawing, e.g. designer, builder, train conductor, etc. Coding for activities involved taggingimages or words related to action, e.g. laboratory work, engineering design process, drawings,etc. The following section describes the implementation of the module and the results fromanalyzing the drawings.
