Primarily zip codes home topeople of color were exposed to greater flood damage and environmental risks due to beingsegregated in areas of Houston that were lower in elevation and around high-pollution industrysuch as refineries [9]. In addition, a chilling image of nursing home residents stranded in aflooded lobby went viral that showed the lack of emergency preparation for people withdisabilities and the elderly [10]. In rebuilding Houston and improving future emergencypreparation, civil engineers will need to be cognizant of the social dimensions related to

, engineering is more oftenassociated with math and science and “things” rather than people19. Engineers are also associatedwith poor social skills and jobs that are nearly entirely technical15. These associations can makeit hard for some students to see themselves as engineers. For example, Du5 notes that theprofessional identity of an engineer is associated with technology and mechanical ability, thusaligning engineering with the male gender. This alignment is reinforced by the long history ofprimarily male engineers. This restrictive definition of what an engineer is can make it harder formany students (especially women and students of color) who are interested in engineering toidentify with engineering.Identity development depends on two factors
undergraduateengineering student teams, that provided any information that might help instructors informing or managing teams, and that addressed issues of race or gender. Research question: What factors related to the experience of women and minoritieswhile working on a team has been investigated by engineering education authors? Methods For this paper, the method we chose is systematized literature review. Systemizedliterature review is a method in education and other fields to critically analyze other researchpapers in a specific area [1]. In this method, we started with finding search strings related tothe race and gender in teams, then selected appropriate databases for our research. Byfinalizing the

Cheating in College and the Workplace: An examination of engineering undergraduates’ ethical behavior T.S. Harding, D.D. Carpenter and C.J.Finelli Kettering University, Flint, MI / Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, MI / University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MIAbstractResearch has demonstrated that engineering undergraduates report higher rates of cheating thanthose in other disciplines and that students who cheat in college are more likely to makeunethical decisions as professionals. Therefore, better understanding the decision-makingprocesses of engineering students and professionals who engage in dishonest behavior could leadto effective college

The former material was tech-nically accurate but not particularly interesting to the students. It also did not support course ob-jectives in the area of design, and it was not very representative of the Electrical Engineeringsection at the Academy. With the assistance of LT Martin Roberts, on loan to the Coast GuardAcademy from the U.S. Navy, we developed a new module featuring digital signal processingand speech recognition. It involves technology demonstrations with a high “wow” factor and ahands-on design project. This paper discusses that module

We began by reviewing research literature. Although to date therehave been no studies of engineering with K-12 English learners, research related to ELs inscience and mathematics as well as studies of ELs more generally informed our thinking [25, 26,27]. We also gathered information from classroom teachers. As part of our work with EiE, wedeveloped curricular resources for elementary engineering that infused principles for high-quality materials for English learners.

integrating ESIinto engineering education to foster a sense of ethical awareness and responsibility in students.IntroductionThe new ABET student outcomes put additional impetus on teaching ethics by requiring thatstudents attain “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineeringsituations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineeringsolutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” (outcome 4) [1]. Theoutcome mandates a higher level of learning than “an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility” (outcome f) [2]. The new criteria demand that programs demonstrate that theirstudents are able to recognize their responsibilities and make sound choices, higher
