beoperationalized in an EL program using a team-based experiential learning approach.Motivation for curricular innovation – The promise of experiential learning in ethicsA growing set of examples in engineering education literature describe new experiential learningapproaches for ethics instruction in engineering [12, 17 - 20]. Motivating this trend, scholars discusshow traditional approaches to ethics instruction have largely focused on retrospection and historicreview, often at the expense of other learning modes, such as experimentation and personalexperience [18, 19]. Those latter modes can be important toward building an ability in students tohandle “unfamiliar tensions” [18], a capacity essential for joining new work environments and indealing with

integrate growth in these competencies into future experiences. Due to the lack ofshared curricular requirements across the eighteen engineering majors offered at U-M,incorporating a bookend approach seemed to be a potentially effective strategy. Updating anexisting course in the first year, where some shared curriculum does exist, and implementing anew course in the senior year when most students are completing their senior design experienceand preparing to enter the workforce, proved to be the most feasible.This practice paper primarily provides information regarding the design of these two courses,including explanation of the motivations for implementing these courses and the research basisthat informs the course design.

However, during a typicalundergraduate engineering program the students are not taught about effective decision-making or leadership, as these are considered to be management modules and outside thecore engineering curriculum. This research paper, based on a case study from PlakshaUniversity, a new engineering university in India presents a pedagogical innovation thatcenters research design as an effective pedagogical tool to teach decision-making andleadership skills to engineering students. To test this, we collected data on three majorquestions: student perception of the importance of decision-making and leadership, actualstudent performance in the course, and student perception of

Prior tolarger-scale delivery models commonly seen in higher-education today, education in professionalpractices historically relied upon apprenticeship models to foster learning and competencydevelopment [4]. These models emphasize experiential learning and reflective practice, whereapprentices apply their learnings to their own contexts with the support of someone with moreexpertise – mirroring the essence of mentorship.

. Secondly, even if we had the "right" learning experiences in our courses, how would wemeasure team performance or growth in team effectiveness over time? Finding an adequateassessment that is simple enough for the average engineering instructor is critical todisseminating teamwork learning experiences throughout the curriculum. We decided to start by finding a way to measure teamwork that is simple to use, simple tograde, and simple to interpret at the course level as well as the program level. Once selected, wecan look at curating (or creating) learning experiences to use as interventions to help improve thescores related to teamwork effectiveness. There are a variety of studies that look at assessing teamwork in engineering teams

Realizing this gave me a realistic expectation of what engineering can and cannot solve.Instructor Reflections: Theme 2Students expressed surprise at the different disciplinary perspectives and approaches to problemsolving even within engineering, noting that the course gave them a new appreciation for thetools of other disciplines. Introduction of the different epistemologies of other academicdisciplines was an area of great interest and novel to the students. There were rich classdiscussions on the distinctions between paradigms in science/engineering and social sciences,and several students wrote about these
