curricula to make education more all-inclusive and effective is too important to ignore [1].To enhance imaginative and creative thinking skills of undergraduate students in industrial andsystems engineering, poetry-writing assignments were incorporated into a required upper-levelcourse that focused on the modeling and analysis of inventory and supply chain systems in alarge public university’s industrial and systems engineering curriculum [4]. An assessment ofstudent perceptions of these assignments revealed that poetry writing not only provided thestudents with an opportunity to practice their imaginative and creative thinking skills as expectedbut strengthened their conceptual understanding of the technical material as well [5].

These competencies have also been shown in other work to be important forengineering students’ leadership development and career preparation [4], [6], [7].

Instructors may also leave a space and build in emptyspaces to iterate and elevate attempts to iterate (whether during times of uncertainty or not) intheir curriculum.

more intense curriculum, than enriching educational and socialexperiences [29]. These studies are indicative that engineering students would be expected toreport a lower mental health status as compared to their non-engineering peers. Since that wasnot the case, we need to uncover other factors playing a role in these differences, as well as re-evaluating the measurement approaches used here. By using the mean scores of the presentedscales we might be missing details about the distribution of the prevalence of serious issues, suchas those that have depression or anxiety scores above a threshold justifiable of professionalattention. Such modifications will be tackled next in the study of this database.Another potential explanation of the lack

She describes how herrespondents distance themselves from women who show emotions or get “overly” sensitiveabout criticism or sexist practices. Rhoton finds that female scientists do this to gain acceptancein professions that prize objectivity and rationality [21]. As she explains, professionalsocialization into scientific cultures encourages and rewards certain gender practices. In anotherrecent study, Seron and colleagues analyzed how many female engineering students are notwilling to adopt a feminist perspective on policies designed to

curriculum is more effective than one intensive course, 2) amixture of required and elective service-learning is more effective than either one or the other,and 3) service-learning could result in less coursework time than traditional programs satisfyingABET 2000 criteria. In fact, most engineering work involves initial contact with clients (herecommunity partners) to ascertain needs and then design and analysis and manufacturing of adevice (or system or study) and then delivery of the device (or system or study) to the client. Inother academic areas, placements in the community agencies are common; however, inengineering placements as such are not typical and generally not appropriate.

On the other hand, engineers’ responsibilities are decreased in certain waysif it is recognized that other actors play important roles and share responsibility for certaindecisions and outcomes.Answering this call to incorporate social ethics, macroethics, or STS topics in the engineeringethics curriculum requires reform and innovation of both content and pedagogy. Clearly, thecontent needs to change when the questions posed are themselves new and different. Thepedagogy also needs to change because the type of thinking required is new and different fortraditional engineers. It is clear that with the more contained microethics problems, it has beenpossible for textbook authors to make analogies to ways of thinking in engineering

The secondtheme provides insight into the types of decisions or context where intuition is most apparent andnecessary. These include complex and real-world decisions where the decision maker wouldnever be able to get all the data needed to make the decision with strictly rational methods. Assuch, we recommend that engineering educators consider where in their curriculum students areprovided opportunities to engage in such decisions (e.g. cornerstone or capstone design) andpurposefully integrate intuitive reasoning into these spaces

[11, 12]Translational research is essentially the bridge between basic research and applied research. Itdeveloped to address the transition from basic research to clinical research and as such is definedas ‘transforming research innovations into new health products’.12In 1998, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded curriculum development for over 50clinical research training programs to improve the quality of clinical research and establishdegree-granting programs. Since then, the NIH definitions of both basic and clinical researchhave been widely adopted, and the concept of translational research has emerged. The
