thisanalysis of a microcosm of the experiences with transdisciplinary approaches of engineeringeducators in Canada, we conceptualize this process and these topics as “loose concepts” anddiscuss their power for future research and practice.IntroductionAcademic conferences provide an important venue to connect with the disciplinary community,to share research, and to build new knowledge. These sites of scholarly exchange are often wherewe explore concepts that are fuzzy or “loose” and through these conversations, generate newunderstandings or new directions.The Canadian Engineering Education Association / Association Canadienne de l’éducation engénie (CEEA-ACÉG) is a national organization that brings together engineering educators andresearchers at an
other historically black colleges and universities (HBCU) and CarnegieResearch I institutions through the NSF ARTSI (Advancing Robotics Technology for SocietalImpact) project [13]. The goal of the ARTSI alliance was to increase the number of studentsfrom underrepresented groups that pursue advanced training in computer science. The mission ofthis program was to give research and education opportunities to students from non-traditionalbackgrounds by studying robotics in an area that is applicable to society. One way to benefitsociety was to conduct outreach to raise awareness about African American achievements inrobotics. In this way, the alliance could recruit more diverse students into the STEM pipeline.This program seeks to increase the

One of the goals of this course sequence is to prepare students in the fundamentalmicrofabrication technologies so that these may be implemented in their research. Data indicatethat this goal is being achieved and that the students are much better prepared to design andfabricate microsystems for their individual research projects. This paper presents details on thedesign of each course, and on the implementation challenges related to the

In the first-year introductory course, studentscomplete four ethics modules, each consisting of a written discussion board post and in-classdiscussion, covering topics such as democratic deliberation, ethics education, principles ofbioethics, stakeholder mapping, responsible development of medical technologies, andprofessional decision making. In the sophomore lab course, students explore topics such asanimal research ethics, the sociology of technology, and the ethics of wearable healthtechnologies. In the junior lab sequence, the modules cover empathy in engineering, universaldesign principles, global public health and point-of-care diagnostics, biocontainment ofgenetically

While these technologiesare based upon research done within universities that has been perfected by industry, it is hopedthat these technologies would be included in the university classrooms in a timely manner.
