products that are used the world over, from items you use in yourhome, to features of the interior of the transport you took home from work. Many decisions aremade about the user experience and the aesthetics for those products you own or use. Industrialdesigners are trained to be user-centric – to create goods and services that do not harm the usernor cause frustrations. They are multi-disciplinary by education. “In professional practice,industrial designers are often part of multidisciplinary teams made up of strategists, engineers,user interface (UI) designers, user experience (UX) designers, project managers, brandingexperts, graphic designers, customers and manufacturers all working together towards a commongoal.

Presently, subject to authorization from Penn State Collegeof Engineering administrators, it is the plan to send the survey to all such subjects so that theresulting survey sample size is large enough for the survey to have sufficient statistical power(e.g., see Murphy & Myors, 2023). That leaves unexamined the question of what survey instrument to use. Due to issueswith construct validity, ethics surveys often involve scenario-based questions so that researcherscan make post hoc judgements regarding subjects’ apparent ethical knowledge.

The increase requested is 8.33% in engineering degrees. “By contrast,roughly 1 million engineers a year graduate from universities in India and China. This educationdisparity threatens to slow our economic recovery, stunts our long-term competitiveness, andleaves technology firms in a skills crisis.”1It is well known that about 40% of students enrolled in science, technology, engineering andmathematics leave their major after the first year. Less than 50% of the students who start inthese majors actually complete their degree. Although this percentage is about the same as theattrition for non-technical majors

In thesechanging times it is becoming an imperative for engineers to be competent team players andleaders, and education must therefore prepare future engineers to meet these challenges [3]. Thestrategic plan for the University of Ballarat emphasises the development of student learningenvironments that are both flexible and encourage lifelong learning. Teamwork, includingteaching and learning in teams is a central strategy for achieving cultural change across theUniversity.

However, forthat same academic year, the 6-year graduation rate (150% of “normal time”) was only 60%(Mcfarland et al., 2018). Among students seeking bachelor’s degrees in STEM, just over one halfremain in STEM after six years (Chen, National Center for Education Statistics, & R. T. I.International, 2013).

The introduction ofcomputer-aided design (CAD) has made 3D design more convenient, leading manyengineering-related degree programs to include a CAD course [1]. In our department, we havedeveloped the FORM curriculum to teach students the fundamentals of 3D modeling, animation,and printing from both conceptual and practical perspectives.
