The purpose of thepresent project is to use the learning and analytical capabilities of IBM Watson NaturalLanguage Classifier to analyze capstone papers submitted by undergraduates in a course onengineering ethics. The capstone papers that we analyzed required students to identify anddiscuss a contemporary engineering technology (e.g., autonomous tractor trailers) and toexplicitly discuss the ethical issues involved. In the two tests described here we assessed whetherWatson-NLC could classify sentences from students’ papers as either related to ethics or notrelated to ethics. Additionally, we consider the utility of these simple machine-basedclassifications

One way proposed in literature [22] for bringing computational activities to students is byembedding them within STEM coursework that students are already required to take. We believethat engaging students through their existing STEM courses is a strategy that is much more likelyto succeed in increasing the interest and appeal of computational thinking.In another study [21] experimental activities related to statistics and mathematical projects keptstudents motivated and actively engaged in the process of learning, problem solving anddeveloping a better intuition for understanding complex mathematical concepts.

BME and ENV are often viewed as “helping”disciplines, which suggests why they may be more appealing to women students. Researchconducted as a means of evaluating a NSF project to attract more women to engineering showsthat young women are attracted to “helping” disciplines within engineering2. Anecdotal evidencefrom one institution suggests adding a “helping” discipline may be associated with a decline inthe proportion of women in a related traditional discipline (that is, the new disciplines mayattract women already in the engineering pipeline, rather than attracting women to engineeringwho would not otherwise be enrolled
