After extensive study anddebate by the curriculum committee and faculty, a new two-credit Professional Issues course wasadded to the curriculum to address these weaknesses.Course Learning GoalsThe Professional Issues course had eight learning goals. Seven of these mapped directly tooutcomes articulated in the ASCE BOK. The goals presented to the students in the coursesyllabus were: 1. Explain the importance of professional licensure2 and the path to become a licensed PE a. Describe the knowledge, skills, and attributes required to become a PE, based on the ASCE BOK b.

professional responsibility may be tied to: (a) the perceived impact of nuclearengineering (to what one should respond), and (b) the perceived autonomy in making the designdecisions in technology development (whether one can respond). The former requires an effort todevelop well-integrated understanding of the systems - of actors, issues, and causal relations - thathelp visualize and anticipate the impact of design decisions. The latter makes it important forengineering ethics education to build practical skills suited to specific engineering workplaceenvironments.Strong public opinions have always been part of the discourses around nuclear power, and it is notsurprising that the public takes an important part of students’ perceived world of

Scale (SSDS), was designed to measure four sustainability-related outcomes: (a) confidence in responding to wicked problems and awareness of (b) global,(c) social, and (d) environmental responsibilities as a designer. The SSDS was implementedpre-post within a course context as part of a multi-university initiative called the WickedProblems in Sustainability Initiative (WPSI) during the Fall of 2014.The primary objective of this paper was to provide an overview of the reliability of the SSDSand to consider where the SSDS may still be improved for optimal alignment with WPSIobjectives and outcomes. Our secondary goal was to consider where WPSI may be improved inthe future in light of the survey results, which included the survey items and written

Similar to Smith’s[5] reliance on the Kolb and Felder-Soloman models, Roy and colleagues suggest that betterunderstanding learners is an important step to developing effective teaching methods, yet theystop short of including personality traits and other characteristics in their scope of consideration.2.2 Personality characteristics The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), notably mentioned in the introduction, is alongstanding and well know measure of personality types. The MBTI is generated using a shortquestionnaire and responses are mapped against four axes; (a) introversion-extroversion, (b)intuition-sensing, (c) thinking-feeling
