responsibilities. One of the hypotheses of our broader research agenda isthat certain fields of engineering more easily lend themselves and give rise to reflection on andawareness regarding the ethical and professional responsibilities of engineers. In the cases ofcivil and mechanical engineering, for example, the negative consequences of acting unethicallyworking on bridge and engine projects, for instance, might be more obvious than in computerengineering working on cyber security.On this basis and in conjunction with other research, our goal is ultimately to makerecommendations about how to improve engineering ethics curricula, not only in China but alsocontexts where Chinese and other non-US and Western students comprise large percentages ofstudent

to the learning and teaching styles in engineering education by Felder and Silverman.9Active learning encourages not only high levels of physical engagement with course content(such as physically experimenting with concepts) but also reflection on the results of thatactivity. Teaching styles that are correlated with prevailing learning styles lead to higher successand greater fulfillment. Engineers are more likely to be active learners and engaging learningenvironments have a significant impact on this segment of learners. The role of active learningthrough the use of cooperative learning environments and project-based exercises has also beenendorsed by other researchers as means to improve design education.10 It is our thesis that

Twenty students were selected at random from each engineering programeach week (N~120/week). Surveys were distributed at the end of the week in order for studentsto reflect and respond based on that particular week of study. The survey received a response rateof 26.87% with a completion rate of 77.88%. This survey focuses on the perceived operationaland conceptual difficulty of course content, the nature of that content, the perception of courseassignments, deadlines and expectations, and the overall instructional experience.

collaborate effectively for academic and careersuccess of students. The following is a summary of the lessons learned:  Learning in an undergraduate CS/CE program requires, at a minimum, a programmatic sequence of required courses (some of which are the gateway courses) that reflect a focused and conceptually-coherent development of disciplinary principles and practices. In turn, conceptually coherent courses provide students with the prerequisite knowledge necessary for success in subsequent courses within the CS program. Many students lack adequate and relevant background knowledge necessary to successfully complete those gateway courses that are required prerequisites for entry into a degree program in CS. With such

Indeed, individuals from many differentinstitutions, regardless of position or institutional rank, mentioned that conversations in thedepartments and colleges that were stimulated by an ABET visit were helpful.

REU4 said that he intends to look for other research opportunities. REU5and REU6 felt that they would like to enter a career in research, while REU8 said that the area ofwater treatment might be an option.

As was reflected in the open-ended responses fromSurvey 1 and Survey 3, participants in the focus group also listed math as their most difficultSTEM course. As far as their opinions on the Engineering Design and Communication course,students had a positive experience to date in the class. They appreciated learning a quantitativeapproach to choosing a design solution as well as the unique opportunities the course providedwhich they might not find elsewhere at Duke.

to working as a civilengineer requires passing two exams (FE and PE) and M/30 that other engineeringdisciplines do not require. So more clear communication on these issues is important.Clearly outlining the necessity for requiring an M/30 prior to professional licensure will beimportant. The reasons that students used in their writings may provide insight into thearguments that they found most compelling. It is important that this message comes fromindustry and practicing engineers rather than academia. A number of the seniors usedlanguage that reflected their belief that the M/30 requirement was motivated by greedyuniversities. Some students proposed changes in the BS degree or changes in the PE examthat could ensure competency. There

tofirst reflect upon and identify HC and then to respond and react to HC from an emotional, self-efficacy, and self-advocacy standpoint.C. Preliminary considerations for appropriate interventions for HC in engineeringRecent literature has indicated that when engineering educators and students fail to recognize thepersistence of a cultural influence in engineering education, undesirable consequences can result[51]. For example, a lack of culturally-responsive and holistic curricular content may limit students'understanding of their future professional roles [52], which may hinder students’ sense of"ownership" (i.e., self-efficacy) of their professional actions and beliefs [53], [54]. In addition, a lackof social capital for underrepresented groups

-parametricstatistical analyses in this work, and their results were in general agreement. Another limitation to this work relates to the pre-constructed questions and responses built intothe focus group design. The space from which students could draw questions relevant to their designwas constrained in a manner that may not be reflective of what they might ask in a true industrial set-ting. This could be remedied by an open question format; however, this is difficult to regulate withinan epistemic game environment. It would be possible to further determine student valuation of thedesign metrics through qualitative analysis of the notebook logs students maintained during theseactivities.

The highest ratings came from theimportance of developing an elevator pitch, while the lowest ratings, including the only ratingamong this group below the neutral response, involved participation in the business competition.The higher ratings associated with developing an elevator pitch could again be due to thestudents’ higher level of comfort with oral presentations.
