stress.Students may enjoy working collaboratively with others on a challenging goal.However, others often express frustration when team communication breaks down, teammembers manage time differently, or when group members’ contributions areinequitable [2].Previous research in engineering education has examined best practices in engineeringand assessment strategies. These practices include instructor-formed teams that do notisolate underrepresented groups, establishing team policies through team contracts oroperation agreements, and providing accountability through peer-evaluations [3].Google’s research on teams revealed that the highest functioning teams providepsychological safety where team members trust one another enough to share theirconcerns

American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Behavioral Ethics and Engineers: Factors Affecting Decision Making in Cases Involving Risk and Public SafetyAbstractTraditional approaches for infusing ethics into engineering curricula emphasize a Rationalistmodel. In this approach, student learning is focused on understanding and recognizing ethicalissues and developing better reasoning skills. To guide ethical decision making, students practicedetermining facts, clarifying concepts, identifying relevant ethical principles, and weighingevidence. While developing better reasoning skills is critical, research suggests that a person’sjudgement is also affected by a host of social and psychological factors occurring throughout

IntroductionThe most promising feature of multimedia and network-based media is its ability to interactivelydisplay complex information or concepts in an accessible and easy-to-understand animatedgraphical form. This is obviously well suited for many educational applications, but it isparticularly attractive for use in engineering education where abstract mathematical models andfundamental physical principles must be employed to solve practical problems. One of the moredifficult issues to deal with in the engineering curriculum, especially at the introductory levels, isthis process of abstraction of real and practical

Medical Corporation c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Incorporating Engineering Standards Throughout the Biomedical Engineering CurriculumAbstractKnowledge of how to identify and apply engineering standards is a necessary skill forbiomedical engineers seeking to enter into the engineering industry. The use of engineeringstandards is often reserved for capstone courses; however, little evidence exists to determinewhether this limited exposure at the end of the curriculum is enough to prepare students toidentify and apply engineering standards after they graduate. The objective of this study is toassess how increasing exposure to engineering standards in the biomedical
