The courses were all “full” courses (e.g. 3 credits) with the exception of the twoconvenience courses. Ethics content in the courses ranged from a small amount (e.g. FY courses,engineering science and elective courses), to a moderate amount (professional issues courses,communication course), to two courses fully focused on ethics. The majority of ESI settingswere in public institutions; three courses were at religiously-affiliated private institutions and oneat a

Since the 1950s, humans have produced 18.2 trillion tonsof plastics worldwide, with China, Europe, and the US generating the most [13]. Annually, in theUS alone, we use 100 billion plastic bags, enough to circle the Equator 1,330 times [14]; wepurchase 50 billion water bottles, about 13 per person per month, and dispose of 25 billionstyrofoam coffee cups [15]; Americans use about 500 million plastic straws per day, about 1½per person [16], and dispose of 192 tons of freezer package waste from burgeoning mealpreparation companies, such as Blue Apron, let alone the millions of tons of plastic debris—airbags and styrofoam peanuts—used for protection of goods in the 165

This paper describes a problem-centered approach towards introducing mechanical engineering students to sustainable,ethical and collaborative innovation, through an analysis of student work and feedbackgathered from a ten-week long pilot conducted as part of a compulsory, Master’s level,academic year-long Mechanical Engineering course.During the pilot, student groups worked on broadly phrased challenges derived from anongoing EU project on developing societal applications for technology, choosing one ofseven challenges ranging from changing rain patterns in

The paper is theresult of early steps in the implementation of a longer-term, NSF-funded research project thatextends the inquiry to the development of students’ understanding of ethics over the entire arc oftheir undergraduate educational experience [1].Our argument unfolds in five steps. In the section that follows this introduction, we situate ourinquiry within the broader field of engineering ethics research, connecting in particular to workon “macroethics” [2] as it intersects with scholarly work in our primary fields of science andtechnology studies (STS) and engineering studies.

Identifying these factors and the extent to which they affect student success is crucialto understanding how to increase retention rates. Supplemental instruction (SI) has been usedsuccessfully in academic settings to limit attrition in challenging programs, especially amongfemales. The College of Engineering at Northeastern University has implemented a SI programfor first-year engineering students, and our group has identified factors that may predict the useof SI in a required first-semester general chemistry course by these students [1]. For example,students who used SI in high school were more likely to use SI during their first semester incollege, showing a correlation

The program featured lectures and field trips to teach important content to theparticipants, generally along 4 themes: design, sustainability, urban engineering, and systemsmodeling. These lectures were front-loaded in the program; weeks 1, 2, and 4 had 8 lecturesdelivered by program leaders and/or guest lecturers, while week 3 had a series of field trips tolearn about municipal infrastructure in 3 different Ontario municipalities.

Engineering and engineeringsolutions have been used to improve life since the same prehistoric time frame, fromthe creation of the first wheel to the water wheel and the watermill.

Of importance throughout this paper is basicfundamental arithmetic, which is what led to the development of the web-based errorless infinitycalculator software tool.For this work in developing and creating the errorless calculator, the authors introduce a new setof numbers referred to as omnifinites. Generally, in mathematics, a number is an arithmeticvalue used to represent a quantity. This definition implicitly implies a concept of size as well asorder, but not explicitly. For omnifinites, this definition is used as well. For the Greeks, indefining and describing a number, the concept of “The part of a number is less than the whole.”was foundational [1-3]. This concept was the governing

In their evaluation of a“Reformed PD (RPD)” program for TAs of a Biology course, they selected the Kirkpatrick’sFour Level Evaluation Framework. This model has been used extensively in the business sector,but has also been used to evaluate faculty PD in higher education [25]. The evaluation modelincludes four levels: 1) reaction to the program, 2) learning occurring as a result of the program,3) application of content of the program, and 4) impact of the program on outcomes.

We selected three models (engineering design, backward design, and design thinking) toprovide distinct, illustrative, and generative perspectives that would also be applicable to manyengineering educators. After applying each of these models to courses as design objects, wecompare models and explicate the implications they may hold for course design. Theseimplications are organized around three themes: (1) bounds of the problem and solution spaces,(2) role of users and designers and (3) course evolution over time.
