pace of lecture, lack ofreal-world application, and lack of meaning. For instance, when asked what she learned aboutdesign from Introduction to Engineering Design, she replies: R: Nothing. S: Ok R: Um, I learned more designing things probably playing with Legos and play dough when I was a kid. … It's that you're following the textbook steps on how to build it, But in fact what you're really, I think the whole what I learned was trial and error and planning. S: Mmhmm R: Not design. Design to me involves innovation and concept and there's supposed to be a message across like you're supposed to design something for purpose.Implicitly, the class (a group project to design a robotic

As further background for these efforts, we summarize relevant prior literaturediscussing strategies for scaffolding and assessing learning outcomes, both in general andspecifically in the context of global engineering programs. Based on our preliminary results, wealso discuss both benefits and challenges associated with this innovative programmaticimplementation. Furthermore, we propose directions for improvement, with an emphasis onstudent recruitment, faculty involvement

training was required every two years; the training consists of contentpresented in a linear fashion (as opposed to scenario based) and a follow-up quiz consists of fivemultiple-choice questions. While this training does not appear to be innovative, we hypothesizethat the requirement to take it every two years is a significant component in why these facultymembers were cognizant of proper procedures. As some participants and Tonso’s 11 example Page 26.1434.16indicate that face-to-face training can cause unsatisfactory results, we also hypothesize thatonline, scenario-based training may be more effective as a tool for spreading understandingabout
Foundation’s Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate(AGEP) program on the national level is intended to increase significantly the number ofdomestic students receiving doctoral degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM), with special emphasis on those population groups underrepresented inthese fields (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, Alaska Natives, NativeHawaiians or other Pacific Islanders). In addition, the AGEP is particularly interested inincreasing the number of minorities who will enter the professoriate in these disciplines. Specificobjectives of the AGEP program are (1) to develop and implement innovative models forrecruiting, mentoring, and retaining minority students in STEM
humility. Engineers recognize that sociotechnical problems, solutions, and innovations are oftentimes complex and value-laden, even when developed by competent and well- intentioned engineers. Engineers acknowledge limitations in engineering understandings about the world and try to redress inequalities by privileging and partnering with silenced voices. In keeping with this principle, engineers acknowledge the imperfection and incompleteness of these canons and strive to improve the profession’s values, principles, and standards through inviting open feedback from others. ● Value: Dignity and Worth of the Person ● Ethical Principle: Engineers respect the inherent dignity and worth of the person.
