Results suggest that current Earth Science curriculum, overall, positivelycontributes to students' ethical growth. However, the Biomedical Engineering courses showed noevidence of change. As the Earth Science courses do not explicitly focus on ethics, one potentialexplanation for this trend is the community-engaged nature of the Earth Science curriculum.These findings will be beneficial locally to help direct improvements in departmental STEMinstruction. In addition, these findings pave the way for future comparative analyses exploringhow variations in ethical instruction contribute to

In addition, it aims to provide some limited evidence that theproposed methods are effective at improving students’ desire to be retained in the college of engineering until the completion of theirundergraduate level degrees. The pilot consists of two phases: the recruitment and training of potential mentors which was completedin the Fall of 2014 and the execution of a Robotics Summer Academy during the Summer of 2015.

Low cost 3D printers are increasingly common. MCAD collaborationtools are used to improve communications within the product development team.How might engineering educators capitalize on these exciting trends? One possibility is toemploy associatively linked modeling, analysis, and prototyping tools in a dedicated course;another more ambitious possibility is to make the concerted effort to use these same tools acrossseveral design and analysis courses. The latter approach offers the potential of a more tightlyintegrated curriculum; instructors would develop a better understanding and
