instruction by providing an organizational framework of current motivation principles. A validated and reliable survey instrument, the MUSIC Inventory, was developed that was based on the MUSIC Model. Although not widely used in Engineering programs, this instrument may have increasing utility in coming years given the strong emphasis on student engagement. In Spring Semester 2022, we gave the MUSIC Inventory to 35 first-year engineering students at Michigan Technological University using a pre/post course method. As described in a forthcoming paper in Frontiers in Education 2022, the preceding semester we had a larger sample size (n = 300) but utilized a post-course only assessment to validate the motivation model factor

Theprograms are designed to permit a student to start studying in an institution in one country andconclude their studies in another institution in another country, and receive a degree from bothinstitutions. Some programs permit a third institution to be involved. The degrees organize theprogram across as many as five institutions. The student is expected to learn more than onelanguage, some require the

Assessments from the various years have demonstrated that studentslearn skills and attributes that are not easily taught in a campus setting. Over the years, lessonshave been learned regarding the importance of social constraints related to the design andimplementation of projects.Recently, material related to social constraints has been implemented in the course to strengthenthe incorporation of social constraints in the design and implementation process.

From the perspective of assessment, “ethics inaction” is problematic for instructors who encounter students only in the classroom context. It isnonetheless quite useful because it provides an integrative, non-hierarchical framework thatallows us to think about engineering ethics education on a larger scale than we ordinarily do. Italso opens up the possibility of recognizing the structural factors that have made it difficult tointegrate ethics into the engineering curriculum on a systematic basis.Despite an abundance of resources available to support engineering ethics instruction, includingcases provided through the Online Ethics Center (OEC), “the engineering literature
