Although research ethics has beengradually incorporated in graduate education, particularly on sites that receive NIH funding,education on the ethical dimensions of applying S&E research to societal needs exists only in ahandful of programs now funded by NSF’s Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE)(e.g., Penn State, University of Texas, and University of Virginia). Our HEE project seeks toadopt the best practices of such reform efforts and to bring ethical education in the application ofresearch to societal needs by developing and implementing new curricula in humanitarianengineering ethics.Methods and procedures

This work is part of a larger NSF studyabout the impact of varying levels of modeling interventions related to different types of modelson students’ awareness of different types of models and their applications, as well as their abilityto apply and develop different types of models.IntroductionEngineers must understand how to build, apply, and adapt various types of models, includingmathematical and computational models, to be successful. Modeling is fundamental for manycore undergraduate engineering courses, though it is rarely explicitly taught [1]. There are manybenefits to teaching modeling

number of items was aggressivelyminimized by primarily focusing on the motivational constructs. The motivational subscales onthe MSLQ were deemed more important than learning strategies for supporting the goals of thebroader curriculum development project. Only two learning strategy subscales were used.Peer-learning was chosen because of its potential importance to planned curricular interventionsinvolving team projects and small-group work. Metacognitive self-regulation was chosen becauseof the relatively high correlation with final grade reported by Pintrich, et. al. [19] and theimportance of metacognition in active-learning settings.

Having faculty members choose a focus for a program, design a new program, orredesign an existing Industrial Engineering program can be contentious. This paper presents amethod, using descriptions of real jobs, to help faculty members talk about the types of jobs forwhich the program is preparing graduates and to talk about how well the program is preparinggraduates for those jobs. The method allows agreements and disagreements to emerge andprovides a way to talk about them. This method has obvious applications in designing programeducational objectives and in reviewing and updating program
