two key demographic variables and students’risk orientation. Both family wealth [27, 28], and gender [29 - 32], have been shown to correlate 30 31with students’ attitudes toward and tolerance of risks. Engineering Leadership educators may beinterested in these relationships for two reasons. First, handling risks is an important facet ofengineering project execution [33] and student project team members’ assessment of risks andassociated decision-making may be influenced by the collective risk orientations of project teammembers. Toh and Miller, for example, found that engineering students’ design conceptgeneration and concept selection behaviors were significantly related to levels

The literature can be divided into three parts: (1) importance of climate change inengineering education, (2) pedagogical approaches, (3) challenges and successes.Importance of Climate Change in Engineering EducationEngineers have an important role to play in the response to climate change due to the risks toinfrastructure systems. Martin et al. [1] notes that engineers have two major challenges inrelation to climate change and engineering education must be revised to address thesechallenges: (1) transition to carbon neutral and (2) minimization of the impacts of climatechange.

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Towards Development of an Engineering Design Value-Expectancy Scale (EDVES)Introduction and BackgroundAs high school programs are increasingly incorporating engineering content into their curricula, aquestion is raised as to the impacts of those programs on student attitudes towards engineering, inparticular engineering design. From a collegiate perspective, there is a related question as to how first-year engineering programs at the college level should adapt to a greater percentage of incomingstudents with prior conceptions about engineering design and how to efficaciously uncover what thoseconceptions may be. Further, there is a broader question within

Critical theorists including Marx, Habermas, Freire andhooks, in contrast, argue that the social and economic inequalities imbedded in our education,economic and governance systems are always incompatible with social justice [35-38]. From acritical social justice perspective, systemic inequities must be challenged and removed beforejustice can be realized.To use a practical example, a CEO adopting a Rawlsian, or liberal, approach to social justicemight institute a merit based pay scheme, while ensuring that all posted positions are open to allqualified engineers. In contrast, a CEO adopting a critical approach to social justice mightensure that

The study involves the entire population of Middle Eastern women inthis cohort of engineering undergraduates. Of the eight, seven were still enrolled in 2018and were in their fourth year of higher education. The interviews with the first seven wereall conducted in their first year. The remaining student provided an interview in her secondyear, just before leaving the institution and exiting the engineering major. Data from thosewho leave are extremely valuable because such students rarely provide interviews. Table2 details the interview sequence. Interviews included in
.”A student from a baccalaureate institution agrees, “it does seem to an extent that they want us to take what we know about academic ethics and then try to apply it to engineering in the future. Besides that, there’s not so much real engineering ethics being taught.”Our data collection and analysis suggests there is “much real engineering ethics being taught,”but it is not always internalized by engineering undergraduates. We expect our survey results tosignificantly contribute to the engineering education community by revealing the types ofexperiences – at a high level of specificity – that are influencing students’ ethical development.Next StepsWe are visiting four additional partner institutions during

The prevalence of the ideology ofdepoliticization in engineering serves to promote the notion that social and political concerns lieoutside of the realm of engineering.
