, are two-fold. First, the UTAs might serve as aspirational peers that are more relatable and approachableto the first-year engineering students. With this intention in mind, the UTAs typically circulatedthrough the classroom in the second half of the semester during “work days” when the first-yearstudents were working on the provisional patent application assignment. Further, UTAs offeredoffice hours and selected a location in the student work area. Secondarily, the UTAs took fieldnotes following semi-structured observational guidelines that described the interactions andactivities in the discussion section. The UTAs met with the research team to review the fieldnotes and deliberate on the activities every other week for the duration of the

engineering science courses and humanities and social science courses. So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired versus elective courses. Elective courses are conducive to high engagement andmotivation because student self-select into them based on prior interest. An interviewee whohas

specific genres is considering audience [25];often, students think only of the teacher or instructor as the audience because they have not beenasked to write for an authentic audience in schools settings. This is especially true for technicalreport writing in engineering laboratory assignments, where students tend to not perceivesituations in which an audience might exist [26]. Instead, they tend to write as a means to justifythat they followed their laboratory and technical processes accurately, with an audience (i.e., aninstructor) in mind who has sufficient expertise to judge this.Although a common place to focus on writing in engineering has been short and long reports inlaboratory courses [20, 23, 26-30], others argue for a broader

Context helps motivate students to apply their knowledge in ways that increase thelikelihood they will have the “bigger footprint” and contribute in meaningful ways to society.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts and isknown as a pre-eminent institution of research, teaching, and learning in the sciences andtechnology. As an institution founded to impart applied knowledge, MIT implements educationfrom a laboratory approach, stressing hands-on experimentation. This approach is congruentwith the Institute‟s motto, Mens et Manus – “Mind and Hand.” The mission of

desired attributes of an engineer are developed through service-learningprojects, and many ABET outcomes can be mapped to results and tasks in these projects. Butmany of these same benefits are accomplished when students are involved in service-orientedprojects, even if these are not direct or experiential service-learning projects.As engineering educators, it is important to not only teach theory to our students but to alsopromote the notion that engineering provides an avenue to help others. We would like to developa sense of caring in our students and foster the idea that as engineers they have a real opportunityto make a difference in the lives of others. With these goals in mind, we often jump into theprocess of trying to integrate service

theirprofessional responsibility and understand the role of engineering in a systems perspective.The focus group analysis also indicated that the impact of an intervention is partially dependenton the context in which it is embedded. Engineering educators should be mindful of the coursecharacteristics (elective or compulsory and placement in the broader degree program) andstudent characteristics (major and year of study) when considering the transferability of ESIinterventions. These factors also come into play when considering the objective or intendedimpact of the instruction. Ethics instruction can serve different learning goals such as awareness(sensitivity to ethical issues students may encounter), decision-making (ability to take ethicalactions), or
