process, each draft PC was mapped to one or more ABET outcomes.The draft PCs development and mapping of PCs to ABET outcomes and courses was done inSpring 2018. During this process, the course coordinators were shared a spreadsheet with thedraft PCs, ABET outcome mapping, and the course Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)for eachof their courses to be used for assessment. The course coordinators were requested to respond iftheir current course SLOs mapped to the new draft PCs, and if the SLOs didn’t map could theSLOs be modified?In Fall 2018, the draft PCs and mapping of the draft PCs to new ABET outcomes and courseswere presented to the department faculty. The draft PCs and outcomes and course mapping wereapproved with some modifications

) papersincluded the term “social justice,” compared to 49 in 2015 [8]. Although mentioned, socialjustice was not the primary focus of the majority of these articles. Bielefeldt interviewed 1,268faculty who embed ethics and societal impact issues in their classes and found that 27% of thesurveyed faculty integrate social justice/poverty topics into their teaching [8]. The facultyinterviewed believed that teaching social justice topics was insufficient in their programs,although no broad consensus exists on what level would be sufficient.In general, the literature demonstrate that two primary approaches have been used to integratesocial justice into the engineering curricula: one approach dedicates a single course that focuseson teaching engineering ethics

discrimination concerns in engineering design.We suggest that one potential resolution for addressing Erin Cech’s concern about moraldisengagement could be to further integrate and expand discussions of these issues in subsequentscience and engineering courses after the first year.It is interesting, and yet unsurprising, to see that quite a few typical concerns in engineeringcodes of ethics, such as loyalty, only working in areas of competence, conflict of interest, and 8bribery, did not appear in students’ examples about unethical behaviors. In future studies inengineering programs, it is critical to cultivate students’ awareness of and sensitivity to

mathematics by approximately 14 to 17 percentage points[4].In terms of career ambitions, Social Cognitive Career Theory [5] suggests experiences likeundergraduate research can impact career ambitions and student occupational self-efficacy.Students completing undergraduate research experiences often identify gains in self-efficacywhen asked to describe the impact of those experiences, with women being more likely toexpress gains in confidence [6].Pierszalowski et al. [7] suggest thirteen barriers to the undergraduate research experience,ranging from physical resource issues (frequently cited) to lack of faculty diversity (less oftencited). Frequently cited barriers that are also a concern for our department include lack of time,lack of faculty

then share these recordings with our industrial advisory board who views thoserecordings in advance of an advisory board meeting. Then, at the meeting, the board interactswith each team to ask them questions that they deem important from their experience andknowledge. Often, the teams have already considered the concern in question. Other times,though, the advisory board member brings new considerations for the team to tackle. Frequentlythese are in the realm of safety, power needs, or alternative ways of accomplishing a project’sfunction. For those teams that have industry partners as customers, they receive an additionalwealth of considerations such as real market forces and the need to execute Intellectual PropertyAgreements. The
