Values and ethics: basic understanding of ethical theory and virtue ethics; ability to self- reflect on values and priorities; ability to make difficult ethical decisions 2. Knowledge of relevant non-science social contexts: this may include areas such as policy, business, economics, healthcare, politics, media, religion, or culture 3.

Itprovides us with some structure for thinking about teaching design: our teaching shouldinvolve a balance of all 5 steps, where the balance reflects engineering practice. Notethat homework assignments, lectures, and labs often involve mainly aspects of steps 2and 3. In fact, often in lab we verify a particular model – concentrating on step 2 almostexclusively. We miss an opportunity here because the other steps of design are mosteasily included in the less formal environment of the lab.LiteracyFigure 1. also shows 3 types of “literacy” often required to complete each design step.
