this course was designed to span the entire duration of the class. Thus,our primary expected outcome is an increase in appreciation for the manner in which droneengineering can be directed toward social good, in particular, and a broader appreciation for thefact that engineering, in general, can also be directed to social good. We expect that continuediterations of this course will increase the students’ understanding of how to align engineeringwork with social good and will also lead to increased enrollment and retention in engineeringprograms.Benefits to Historically Underrepresented StudentsA key long-term goal of our course is an increase in the recruitment and retention of female,Black, and Latinx students in our university’s

thecentrality of “multiple ways of knowing” in liberal education, and many of them situateengineering as one approach among others within a contemporary liberal education. Thestrongest example of this appreciation in the case briefs is from Macalester’s proposed course“Thinking Like an Engineer.” The course’s description addressed the relationship of engineeringto liberal education explicitly: [B]y putting the primary emphasis on the process of thinking rather than the end result, we want to send the message that engineering is not just about the grand achievements of great minds but also about a way of reflection and a form of practice in which many can participate. We hope to expose students to the variety of types of

From this perspective, thesocial good of an international bridge expansion, or a new line of cars, or the delivery of drinkingwater to a large metropolitan area cannot be assessed, and certainly cannot be celebrated as amodern social feat, without taking into account the following: a) whose interests are served fromthe improved vehicle access to the customs plaza, or the determination of insufficient evidence toconduct an investigation into driver complaints, or the invalidation of high lead-in-watermeasurements, b) what the self-defined needs are of individuals who are excluded from thedecision-making table but are suffering from asthma, or experiencing their car engine shut downin the

This social connectivityhas also made it easier for like-minded people to act on problems that they findcompelling simultaneously making the need and the motivation to act more apparent andurgent.The engineering community has responded to this call as evidenced in the emergence ofgroups such as Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW)a, Engineers Without Borders(EWB)b and Engineers Against Povertyc.

As might be expected, in the process of coding, weencountered additional themes (e.g., societal problems in need of engineering solutions,engineers’ “social footprint” over time). At the end of the trial process, we examined our threeseparate codebooks and worked to combine them into one, by a) reaching consensus on thewording and meaning of each code, 1 and b) eliminating codes we deemed far too specific to oneof the three initial documents to justify their inclusion in the codebook. 2 There was nodisagreement about whether any of the codes we developed were valid or about whether codeswe retained should have been eliminated and vice versa. Once we entered the second phase ofcoding

twoproblematic ideologies at work in engineering education: an over-reliance on Outcomes-BasedEducation (OBE) and an emphasis on “evidence-based” research and practice, where “evidence”is narrowly defined following the medical model of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), nearlyimpossible to execute validly in educational settings. The changes remove or weakenrequirements for educational breadth, including global and social context, engineering ethics, andlifelong learning.One of the stated rationales for these changes is that some outcomes are difficult to assess. To thecontrary, the engineering education community has invested a great deal of time and effortinnovating assessment methods to create increasingly valid, concise, and easy to implement

scenario creation. To begin thisphase, the author gathers several (5-10) references from refereed papers and/or acceptable mediaoutlets for sources for the scenario. From the references, the author builds an annotatedbibliography. The annotated bibliography can include quoted passages, summary statements, andideas for the scenario storyline. The author then builds an outline of the scenario content usingthe major dimensions of EPSA rubric (Appendix B) as a guide. While this does not produce atemporal outline, this outline ensures that the author has uncovered and synthesized sufficienttopical content with respect to the dimensions of the EPSA rubric. It is a good idea now for theauthor to visualize a typical student discussion with respect to this
