of her previous research has focused on software designers’ formal and non-formal educational experiences and use of precedent materials. These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects. Dr. Exter currently leads an effort to evaluate a new transdisciplinary degree program which provides both liberal arts and technical content through competency-based experiential learning.Terri S. Krause, Purdue University Terri Krause has a BBA from the University of Notre Dame, with 30 years experience in business and industry; and, a MSEd in Learning Design and Technology from Purdue University. She is currently pursuing her doctorate in

interactive and web-based software AGORA-net: Participate - Deliberate! AGORA-net is on online world in which everyone can construct arguments or participate in debates. Its development is funded by the U.S. Department of Education. Most recently he works on collaborative and problem-based learning environments for ethics and for science education in which AGORA-net is used as a tool to focus and guide autonomous collaboration among small groups of students.Dr. Jason Borenstein, Georgia Institute of Technology Jason Borenstein, Ph.D., is the Director of Graduate Research Ethics programs at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is also an Assistant Editor of Science and Engineering Ethics and Co-editor of the Stanford

activities, we also sponsorapproximately 80 participants per year in the Research Experience for Undergraduates programwhich includes SEI in two ways. First, all sites are required to have their interns readNanotechnology & Society: Ideas for Education and Public Engagement1 and discuss thematerial. This activity also takes place in preparation for the NNIN REU Convocation, a three-day meeting where REUs present their research. At this meeting, we have a panel session on SEIissues and interns present results on SEI-related research. This talk will provide an overview ofthe results from this aspect of our program. Finally, based on the REU project, we havedeveloped a series of posters - Responsible Research in Action – that are available to all

variety of pedagogical approaches. As a model for other engineering centersto explore, this paper also describes the cases of two high school science teachers who wereembedded in a neuroethics research group for their summer research experience. Finally,program evaluation findings show that RET participants reported increases in knowledge relatedto ethical and responsible conduct in research and knowledge of core concepts in neuroethics.Some teachers in particular reflected that learning about neuroethics was impactful to their ownprofessional learning and their students’ learning. Integrating the study of ethics into scientificresearch, as well as into science and engineering education across all levels, is imperative fordeveloping a citizenry

Engineering Ethics

timeand place within a broader set of circumstances that inform engineering decisions.Through role-play activities, assignments and teamwork across a range of technical andsocial topics, students gain both an appreciation of the history of industrialization andtechnological advancement, and the competence to understand the science andtechnology within this history. Students learn about and practice the engineering designprocess; they learn wastewater characteristics and treatment methods in labs; they grapplewith policy issues in a role-play debate; they familiarize themselves with professionalcodes of ethics; they reflect on the effects of race, class and privilege; they deconstructpower and influence through stakeholder analyses and absorb
