requires constant communication between for example decisionmakers, engineers and the users. Narrating, communicating and receiving the positiveresponse - the key elements of change - can be achieved through only by including theseagents in the natural cycle of innovation processes. While technical achievements typicallyrely on engineers, engineering education curricula typically offers rather limited support tocultivating students’ understanding of societal impact and can provide a limited perspectiveto innovation outside of dominant economic interests [17]. While there have been calls forresponsible innovation [18], we have limited understanding of what engineering students’understanding of responsible innovation entails, and the impact of

Faculty enroll in the program for the purposesof professional development. Within one semester, faculty participants engage in five workshopsthat last for eight hours each. The mission of this initiative is to focus on the improvement of upper-division undergraduate students' disciplinary writing by exploring the ways writing, as a process,should start with research and reflection about the given topic or problem. The main goal of thisworkshop is for faculty to master the skills related to good assignment design. The idea is to

Failure to maintain an open communication activities, the students repeats the similar mistakes in the examinations as they did in the homework.

intention was to measure the impact that the robotic workshop had onthe students perceptions in these four areas.The main hypothesis of this work is that Problem Based Learning (PBL) can influence studentsto be interested in STEM disciplines. PBL assumes that in the learning process the student takesan active role. In PBL the focus is centered on challenging students to be participants of theirlearning process by solving a problem that is generally open ended9. In the particular casepresented in this work, the students were presented with a robotic arm with missing connections,In it, the students had to collaboratively find a solution to the presented problem to make therobot work.Several researchers have studied the motivational effect of robotics
