Student DemographicsColorado School of Mines’ air pollution course was designed to help students become familiarwith air pollution issues, understand the basic chemistry behind major air pollutants, develop aworking knowledge of engineered approaches used to mitigate the effects of common airpollutants, and prepare them for future air pollution work in the public or private sectors. Thecourse introduced air pollution fundamentals, such as the ideal gas law, US legislation, thesource, nature, and control of particulate matter (PM) and gaseous pollutants, indoor airpollution, and dispersion modeling. The course contained two projects, one of which involvedaspects of PM pollution (visibility, emissions, deposition), while the other measured indoor

In common, they valued Mindstorms for two general reasons: 1) its role insupporting project-based learning; 2) its potential role in shaping students’ futures, specificallythe possibility that they might choose to pursue engineering, robotics, or another STEM field.The perceived additive value of Mindstorms to their schools is its support for hands-on, project-based learning. While sometimes this is framed by the fact that Mindstorms is a toy thatreferences popular youth culture, the larger focus was on its role in changing the content andstructure of instruction. For example, Jill compares lessons with Mindstorms to her

Yet recognizing the potential of technology to cause harm, theyalso chose the Kantian principle of people as “ends rather than means”. While textbooksmentioned other principles such as Rawls’ theory of Justice, these two – utilitarianism andKant’s Imperative- translated as a version of the Golden Rule – remained the main basis.This was the case for example of the widely used textbook on engineering ethics [3]. Theother pioneering textbook, by Martin and Schinzinger [4], framed engineering as “socialexperimentation”, and chose three principles: Awareness (of the consequences of theengineering project); Autonomy (the

In addition to faculty at the University of New Haven, over three years 77 faculty at 53other universities in the US have also integrated these modules into their courses. These modulesare designed so that students learn entrepreneurial content outside of class and then apply themto a class project or assignment (i.e., contextual activities). Instructors are also stronglyencouraged to engage students through
