Engineering Ethics

integrating micro- and macroethics in graduate education of engineers and scientistshave been few. To be effective such efforts require incorporation of interdisciplinary conceptsand methods drawn from such fields as science and technology studies and applied ethics. Thefour models included in the project are: 1) a standalone course on societal implications of scienceand engineering; 2) micro- and macroethics material embedded in a required science course; 3) ahybrid online/face-to-face course on responsible conduct of research; and 4) engaging ethics inthe lab. In the paper we discuss development of the course models and assessment results ofstudents’ knowledge of relevant standards, ethical sensitivity, and ethical reasoning, as well asstudent

Classrooms: Dimensioning the Behaviors That MatterThis research paper describes the findings from an exploratory study. Student retention inengineering disciplines, from program initiation through commencement, is recognized as achallenge by higher learning institutions across the US. Numerous studies have identified thatprofessors who can establish strong and positive rapport with their students have an immediateand positive impact on students’ learning, engagement, motivation and academic success,resulting in a positive long-term influence on retention. Previous work has defined fifteenspecific faculty behaviors that establish positive rapport between students and professors in otherdisciplines. However, these past studies may not be generalizable

She also investigates how faculty approach their communication with graduate students, the concerns they encounter, and the guidance they provide to cultivate stronger, more effective communicators. Recognizing that effective communication is foundational to leadership and mentorship, Dr. Simmons emphasizes the role of oral communication in building agency.
