in engineering courses in curriculum. Theprocess knowledge component is where engineering ethics matters in design courses because itfocuses on how students apply their material knowledge in their practices and how they makedecisions during the design process. Moreover, process knowledge can be more subjective andimplicate moral judgments while material knowledge may not be related to ethics directly. Thus,engineering ethics and design can be linked to process knowledge and considered together.Bringing ethics into the design process helps students identify ethical issues, and holisticallysolve problems with a consideration of societal impact [6]. Thus, the design process should beconceptualized, and ethical questions should be addressed

Interactive demonstrations in thesoftware introduce concepts and GIS tools, then scripted tutorials require students to use GIS towork through a guided project that is framed within the context of a real civil engineeringproblem and based on real data sets. As skills are developed, tasks become less guided,promoting students to think independently about how to utilize the software to accomplishspecified outcomes without being told the exact process.

It has been shown that ifstudents have a strong, positive conviction about their knowledge in engineering, then they aremore likely to succeed academically in the specific subject, as

First, the structure of the sessions allows the entire community toengage in an interchange of ideas giving a broader examination of those ideas that originate withone or two participants. Second, the research workload is typically distributed over a largernumber of participants rather than being concentrated in only a small number allowing morerapid development of topics of interest. Third, we find that having students whose interests areclosely aligned to the core ideas of CSG, enables knowledgeable engagement with generallyresearch backed assertions rather than purely opinion based discussions.

can have a positive impact on the learning process (Sylwester14). Whenengaged in experiential learning, students are, in effect, engaged in the creation ofknowledge, skills, and work attitudes through experience. Typically, this is quite differentfrom that which is learned in a classroom or laboratory. Personal interest, the motivation tosucceed on a self-defined set of technical goals, is quite different from that preselected for thestudent. This “reflection-in-action”, as defined by Schön15, develops out of one’s experiences,a knowing in ones very actions while performing technical or professional work.Egan16 notes that the teacher needs to able to provide a safe setting for students to tell theirexperiential stories. This allows students
