additional courses related to their major instead of taking an equivalent number ofgeneral education courses. This disconnect indicates a lack of connection for students betweenthe general education curriculum and the major courses [4]. Essentially, the completion ofcoursework outside the major does not necessarily translate to an ability to understandmultidisciplinary perspectives or address the complex global problems of today and tomorrow.Creating a Culture of CollaborationAs conceived, most general education curricula do not include courses within professionaldegrees such as engineering. This configuration of general education requirements creates a one-way street and often places the design and implementation of the curriculum on the liberal
education with its emphasis on emotion whenengaging in ill-defined and context-dependent problems rather than following guidelines orprinciples [22]. The authors provide an example lesson for high school students where theydevelop solar cookers to replace nonrenewable fuel use. Where the NGSS and Framework focuson cost, use, and availability of materials in relation to access concerns, the dimension of careinstead highlights the “sociopolitical issues that led to decreasing supply and/or inequitableaccess” [22, p. 954]. Combined with theoretical understandings of perspective-taking, thedimension of care could provide a transformative angle to engineering ethics education.DiscussionThe research question for this manuscript asked how perspective
