disciplines have different cultures; forexample, civil engineering is considered conservative and bound by standards in contrast to thecreative and innovative mechanical engineering [33]. However, Cech (2004) found that there is acommon culture of disengagement from public welfare commitments in the engineeringprofession [8]. In order to understand the institutional ethical culture and how it aids in theprocess of ethical decision making, one needs to consider institutional values, organizationalcontext, and peer environment. + Institutional Values: represent the collective values of the students’ institutions [8]. Cech (2014) suggests that engineering institutions tend to value technical knowledge such as math and science
companies. We are eager to see if changes in the content of the curriculum --for example, as the industry continues to innovate in response to growing challenges of climatechange risk and resiliency -- affect students’ understanding of CSR as a sociotechnical endeavor.In future research, we are keen to see if there is a relationship between students’ careeraspirations and their views of the engineering profession itself. In future research, we willexamine if positive changes in students’ desires to work for socially responsible companies arerelated to positive changes in those students’ views of: a) engineers’ agency; b) the extent towhich they believe CSR is efficacious in helping businesses serve society; and c) and the socialresponsibility
performed by computer software, but the software program does not provide thenecessary inputs, nor consider whether the outputs makes sense. Software programs cannot applythe creative understanding and innovation that a PE with the proper background, experience, andtraining, employs to solve a problem.Because the licensed practice of engineering is a creative art, the PE license establishes anessential malpractice standard under which the PE must operate. The PE is obligated to performtheir duties to a normal standard of care – the level at which an ordinary, prudent professionalwith similar training and experience in good standing in a same or similar community wouldpractice under the same or similar circumstances. Further, PEs must perform in
students are successful in developing coding skills, we created new coursematerials for in class activities, homework, and some team-based assignments. The purpose ofthese assignments is to build skills and gain familiarity with components which are needed forthe project. ME 250 is not a computer programming course, so the intent is to use Arduino as atool, either collecting data or controlling motors or reading sensors.We prepared smaller coding assignments where parts of the code can be used to build into a codefor the design device. We do not provide the students with a starter code for the projects andthey are required to innovate. Students must draw upon the skills learned in the activities and

In this study, we focus on the refugee camp setting as a fragile context.Access and Educational Needs in Refugee Settings Access to education represents a significant obstacle in refugee contexts, and manycauses are potential barriers to education, such as space shortages, language and curriculum,transportation, parental documentation, child labor, early marriage, school fees, and safety [2].Given these barriers to access, Culbertson and Constant [2] suggested, “[T]here is a need toalleviate the situation with innovative educational strategies to coordinate efforts, shareknowledge, make evidence-based decisions, improve efficiency or effectiveness, and

Furthermore, it has been suggested that engineering students who plan toengage in sustainable development initiatives develop a set of global competencies (Lucena et al.2008) and move from being mere “technology advocates” to “Honest Brokers,” who researchand present a range of technical possibilities within the “broad contextual constraints of theproblem-setting” (Mitchell et al. 2004: 40).Engineering programs globally have responded to these calls for a shifting paradigm inengineering education by introducing innovative curricula that combines social andenvironmental concerns with economic and technological development (Ahrens and Zascerinska2012; Lucena and Schneider 2008

corebusiness practice [4] – emerged as one strategy for corporations to respond to the growingcriticisms that citizens, civil society groups and government bodies made of their power andbehavior. At their base, the practices and policies undertaken under the banner of CSRacknowledge that corporations are responsible for more than producing and distributing profit:they must also seek to create social and environmental benefits while minimizing harms.Importantly, while rhetoric surrounding CSR in corporate material invokes broad categories of“the public, “society,” or even “the world,” the field was a key innovator and disseminator ofstakeholder theory.
