The industry panel provided input based upon their participation in the ConceptDesign Review. The instructors from the two participating programs were asked to commentfrom their perspective on the collaboration and the students themselves were given a number ofopportunities to provide comments and observations.All three groups developed a product concept, fabricated a prototype that

Subsequently, other colleges were added as follows: College ofEngineering (1913), College of Arts & Sciences (1943), and the College of Business (1970).The student body consists of about 11,000 undergraduate and 970 graduate students. TheCollege of Engineering counts on an undergraduate enrollment of 4458 students, of which, 36percent are females, which is one of the highest in engineering among U.S. institutions. Thisenrollment results in UPRM as ranking 15th nationally in terms of the number of bachelors

As in other similar design programs [3], student teamscommunicate their progress and results in various formats including a design history file,structured advisory committee meetings, end-of-semester public presentations, and manuscript-style final papers. Furthermore, they develop the interpersonal skills necessary to communicatewith stakeholders and to work on multidisciplinary teams. All engineering students in the HenryM.

These students, the makers of the future mobile technology, who areinvolved in app creation – from defining the concept to requirements gathering, to finalimplementation – takes into consideration how the app will work successfully and effectively.However, their design decisions are not always made thinking about how the application willinfluence the user, the community, and the society at large. To address this critical issue, in thispaper, we report our experience with weaving the notion of social and ethical computing whiledesigning and developing an upper-level computer science course on mobile questionnairedevelopment.

In spite of policies and much talk about the importance of such issues,various studies indicate that the rubber is not hitting the road. Let’s take communication skills asan example.

In a survey conducted among American uppersecondary students, although most of the students claimed to be aware of the ethical course ofaction in various situations, most of them were not able to choose a correct ethical alternative evenwhen posed with situations that were easy to comprehend [2]. A very high proportion of highschool and undergraduate students were found to be engaging in academic dishonesty consideringdifferent motives and possible outcomes. Even other kinds of unethical behavior were found to bepresent among school students, which demanded establishment and education of a common set ofsocially acceptable standards on morality among students [3,4].

There are still several limitations to this work, which informfuture work. First, there is a need to collect student feedback on how these activities improve theirunderstanding with the use of carefully designed surveys. This is key to also understand howactive learning impacts metrics other than performance, such as communication skills and a senseof belonging. Also, this paper only looks at the impact of longer activities. Short activities alsoneed to be formally documented and studied to understand their impact

The important part ofactive learning is engaging people directly in the learning process so they actively participate intheir knowledge acquisition.

By capitalizing onthe design process teachers can enhance student engagement, motivation, application ofknowledge, and self assessment; elements essential for deep learning in STEM. Yet, many K-12educators are not familiar with the structure, elements, and process of engineering design. Theirunfamiliarity indicates a need to address K-12 teacher knowledge of engineering design toprepare them to use the process for instruction. We answered this call by making engineeringdesign a theme and focus of a residential four-day summer institute for K-12 teachers.
