The 2018 survey also reports a growingdissatisfaction with commercial publishing among faculty, which could lead to increased OERadoption in the next few years [5].Current literature also has examples of the role of OER in supporting student success, particularlyin addressing learning outcomes and student perceptions of open materials [6]. E. Croteau’sstudy, on the Affordable Learning Georgia project, examined student outcomes across 27 coursesthat had adopted OER. Croteau found that overall, faculty selected materials that saved studentsmoney without negatively impacting course learning outcomes [7]. In their study

Second, wepragmatically aim to be self-sufficient to minimize the demands placed on other engineeringdepartments by our students. The short-term strategy for this small-scale development of ourcurriculum is not only vital, but also advantageous. While most would agree that contextualizingtraditional engineering content is both important and effective, there is tremendous inertia toovercome to successfully integrate this context across an entire curriculum. By cultivating asocial mindset in our GE-specific courses, we can help students see the impact of engineering onsociety as they engage in their technical coursework, without requiring systemic change acrossall existing

Another advantage is the concurrentopportunity to focus on the ethics component of engineering education. Many incidentcase studies include a moral or ethical dilemma.

Our attention to empathy in design aligns “doing good” with the practice of engineeringitself; effective altruist Will MacAskill calls this a “direct benefit” strategy. He counters with theprospect of “earning to give,” in which the individual career is directed toward maximumfinancial return, betting on accumulated wealth that can outweigh a career of direct benefit oncedonated to charity according to EA principles.I suspect that other socially engaged engineering educators might share my ambivalent initialreaction to this argument.

Therefore, a structureddesign method should be prescribed for student designers to make full usage of CRs.Compared to concept generation that is well-supported by many existing design methods [3-5], a more challenging task for student designers is function formulation (i.e., how toformulate a set of explicit functional requirements for the to-be-designed artifact) [6]. Inpractice, new functions are primarily formulated by senior designers based on theirextrapolation of customer voices solicited through lead user engagement [7], brainstorming[8], focus group, individual interview, survey, ethnography [9], etc. In
