These includedengineering ethics, industrial and laboratory safety issues, environmental concerns, leadershipand teaming principles, and other issues involving how chemical engineering

Society for Engineering Education, 2017How Role-Playing Builds Empathy and Concern for Social JusticeAbstractThis paper describes an experimental first-year, two-term course designed by aninterdisciplinary team of faculty from engineering, humanities, social science, andentrepreneurship and innovation. The first term of our course, “HumanitarianEngineering Past & Present: Worcester, 1885,” puts students in the roles of actual peopleliving in a turn-of-the-century industrial city in central Massachusetts. While immersingthemselves in the roles of engineers, industrialists, elected officials, workers, scientists,public health officials, inventors, and city residents, students learn and practiceengineering concepts (engineering design

Both degree-granting and continuing education programs must integrateenvironmental, ethical, and aesthetic values as well as an understanding of political, social,and economic issues that affect public policy. Sustainable development must be a value that isencouraged at all levels of professional training and practice. Thus, while education in any ofthese areas might be carried on independently, education and professional practice in manyfields will be more closely attuned to community and national needs if they are approached ina unified manner. Often, it seems, faculties from other countries are more capable of accurately assessing andpredicting new trends in the global business environment. This author believes this is becausethey

This desire is important and consistent with previous research findings which indicatethat the endorsement of seeking help for mental health concerns by one’s social network is a keyfactor in the decision-making process [21, 25-28]. However, one unique component of theengineering environment that needs to be taken into consideration is the effects of competition.In a study of elite athletes’ beliefs about mental illness stigma and help-seeking, researchersfound that engaging in competition to achieve success conflicted with athlete’s opinions andattitudes about mental health issues [22].Mental health issues were linked to weakness thereby threatening the athlete’s self-perceptionsand status

Xu (2008) explores this issueby studying the turnover and attrition issues faced by women faculty.6 Studies have approachedthese concerns by exploring the mechanisms that drive these issues. Barbezat (1992) hasattributed some of these issues to work environments that are not seen a collaborative orteaching-focused. Further, Barbezat argues that women perceive these environments, especiallyin STEM fields, to be isolating.2 Xu (2008) goes on to summarize many studies that point to thesocial and political biases that limit opportunities for women.

While almost half ofthe undergraduate student population is female, less than 10% of the engineering degrees areawarded to female students. Thus, an area of great concern is the number of women faculty intraditional science and engineering disciplines. Although NDSU has had overall success inrecruiting women faculty (with at least 30% of new hires women since 1999), no more than 20%of the science and engineering hires have been women.
