As the studentsmoved through their undergraduate education, however, their images of work became moremundane. Often this mundaneness emerged as a

We, the authors, typically take a social view of disability in presenting information forengineering instructors to change their practices to be more accessible to all students. A socialperspective of disability defines disability as a consequence of inaccessible environments, ratherthan an inherent problem in individuals. In other words, the environment is disabling, which inthis case is the classroom and administrative system of obtaining accommodations. Instructorscan use the insights gained from these interviews to develop awareness for accessibility in theclassroom beyond formal accommodations and become aware of the ways

Abrahamson and Sánchez-Gárcia(2016) described a theory of action-based mathematics learning that informed the instruction inthis study. The approach was anchored in a body-syntonic (Papert, 1980) wherein initialmathematical description emerged from bodily activity, which was then re-expressed with theoperation of the physical system of levers.

. As with other disciplines, engineering typically subsumesethics, appropriating it as its own unique subfield. As a framing, ethics in engineering producesspecialized standards, codes, values, perspectives, and problems distinct to engineering thoughtand practice. These form an engineering education discourse with which engineers engage. It isepistemological in its focus, meaning that this framing constructs knowledge of properdisciplinary conduct. On the other hand, engineering in ethics as a framing device insists thatengineering become a specialized articulation of ethical thought and action.

One assumption is that positive assessmentdata is sufficient to persuade the rest of the college that the curriculum should be adopted. Asecond assumption is that the information resulting from the pilot is sufficient in deciding how thecurriculum can be improved for all students. And finally, there is an assumption that once the newcurriculum is institutionalized, the job of effecting “systemic reform of undergraduate engineeringeducation” is complete.
