Some students opted to find avalue in the Internet (and they were eventually concerned by the possibility that Jafar wouldreign), and some people felt defeated and, despite declaring that it is not right, accepted that suchis life.Proposed approach: Monetizing Life is the Only Ethical Thing to DoOverviewWe use a mathematical model to show why monetizing life might be the only ethical thing to doin engineering. Specifically, we contend that modeling is an effective way to help studentsoperationalize their ethical responsibility in engineering problems. Using models in engineeringis not new. In fact, modeling is an essential activity in engineering [44]. A model is anabstraction that capture some aspects of reality that help

It is curious how some of these areas may be present in addition to technical content.Mindful Design Education EffortsIncreasingly, design-focused coursework is including novel and (relatively) new approaches suchas more emphasis on human-centered design and design thinking. Dym et. al. [5] captured manyapproaches for design to be used as pedagogical innovation itself.

These resultsshowed that educators and researchers were not currently capturing what students were doingbeyond what they document or in their interactions. Figure 1 Average documentation behavior of student project groups This revelation inspired a new line of inquiry to develop a tool that could capturedifferent ways in which students express their knowledge while completing engineering designprojects. This lead to the research towards developing a tool which could capture differentexpressions of engineering knowledge from interactions and conversations.Literature Review Several learning theories were considered in an attempt to assess knowledge and

“envisioned possibilities more concrete” [13] by depicting product useexplicitly. Rosson and Carroll [13] suggest that scenarios can be constructed quickly; scenariosmerely require setting, one or more actors with specific goals or objectives, plot, and outcome[2]. Ease of construction has helped make scenarios a popular way to “[rapidly communicate]usage possibilities and concerns among many different stakeholders” [2]. Forward-lookingproduct scenarios describe the actions users are envisioned to take and, therefore, do not hingeon access to user data; available data can be used to build scenarios depicting current user actionsto brainstorm new features/functions that are compatible with, or improve, user workflow [34].Proposing a Methodology for

students expressed concern with the need to teach “specific software,”a number of students appreciated the flexibility of mastery learning and specifically highlightedthe benefits of “big picture” learning.DiscussionRecently, there has emerged a call to include “systems engineering” or “systems thinking” aspart of “environmental modeling,”7. To address this need, a new course was created entitled,“Environmental Modeling.” This article summarizes the course description, delivery, andcontent. The results of assessment of three offerings to a total of 43 students are presented. Thecourse included a blended format, a flipped classroom, mastery learning, and a buffet of optionalsummative assessments used to assign a final grade. The course content

Finally, we present the decision we came to in light of those criteria and ournext steps.

A significant area for the mentors to improve their skills.Correspondingly, many of the mentor best practices concerned feedback (tables 3 & 4).These responses are not surprising. First, feedback can directly address team formation andperformance issues. Feedback may be the “assessment” method of choice because it is simple,direct, and involves all the team members. Secondly, feedback provides the student with ametacognitive perspective concerning their team. This metacognition is most likely fundamentalto improving their team performance.Perhaps surprising is the evidence that students can effectively give, receive, and use feedback

conceptual design the participant must beknowledgeable and competent in the technologies concerned. In a heterogeneous cohort thismeans that the examples, narratives and project should be at the Highest Common Factorlevel for the specific cohort so that the student can focus on the ‘Design Method’ withoutgetting stuck with technologies. This has been one of the principal considerations whendrawing the examples and projects.The challenge for the curriculum design and delivery is to teach the design process and theoutputs at various stages, to the engineering manager emerging from this heterogenous group,so that he/she can provide effective leadership to a design office or team.
