Students were then asked to interview non-engineers to get feedback on theperception of engineering decisions accounting for end user perspectives. This was followed upwith a final assignment in which students reflected on watching portions of an ASEE sessionpanel of activists giving their experiences around specific engineering crisis (CommunityEngagement Panel, 2019).

engineering faculty found problem-solving, akin to criticalthinking, to be the single most important competency for engineers [39]. Critical thinking isassociated with many aspects of ABET Student Outcomes. Not only does it address problemsolving and analysis, but the process of argumentation cultivates communication skills that areessential to collaboration. Being self-critical keeps one open-minded to learn and solve problemsboth alone and in groups. Lastly, the process and spirit of inquiry is a necessary driver in self-directed, lifelong learning [19]. Despite its accepted importance, engineering graduatesconsistently fall short in critical thinking skills according to employers [29], [39], [40].According to a 2019 literature review, established

Ethics is too-often relegated to a stand-alone course taken late in engineeringprograms, rather than effectively integrated into core coursework [1, 2]. Faculty sometimes haveconcerns that such integration will be challenging for students to manage or might distract themfrom core content. However, ethics-across-the-curriculum helps students understand the linkbetween the engineering work and its positive and negative impacts and also see ethicalconsiderations as part of engineering, rather than an add-on [2, 3].
