He gained his Ph.D. in 2015 from The Pennsylvania State University. Alex specializes in teaching in the thermal- fluid sciences and has a background in experimental combustion. At Stevens he advises the Society of Automotive Engineers and enjoys research in various areas of engineering education
multiple reviews of the course materials were conducted to calibrate thecoding process, it is probable that examples that could have fallen into one of the themes wereexcluded due to differences in interpretation. That is a limitation of most coding processesassociated with qualitative study and should be kept in mind when using the resulting data.It should also be noted that this research was conducted as part of a quality improvement studyand that it is not intended to be broadly generalizable. While certain components of the findingsare likely to be helpful for faculty and staff at other universities, no claims are made as towhether a similar ecology of practice is present at other schools.Presentation of FindingsThe initial dossier review and
askedthe students. We note that we used the literature as a guide to define an initial set of questions andour questions are just one way of identifying the presence of a corresponding factor. For an initialset of factors, we included a wide range of literature from the following research areas in thesearch: human factors, systems engineering, project management, engineering education literature,psychology, and social sciences. Then, we used the definitions of ten common cognitive biases tocapture individual actions that may contribute to failure and four systems archetypes that correlatewith poor safety practices.In summary, we developed questions in four categories: 1. Cognitive biases (Individual Actions & Decisions) 2. Organizational
duties include assessment, team development, outreach and education research for DC Col- orado’s hands-on initiatives. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Student Views on their Role in Society as an Engineer and Relevant Ethical IssuesAbstractIt is important that engineering and computing students are educated to understand the ethicalexpectations of the profession and to consider the broader impacts of their work (termed ethicsand societal issues, ESI). However, assessment methods related to these outcomes that rely onLikert-type responses or structured assignments may be susceptible to social desirability orpositive response bias. When prompted, students
