prepare them for different professional scenariosthey may encounter after graduation. Writing these deliverables requires students to completeholistic analyses of materials problems including environmental, ethical, and economicconsiderations while communicating with a variety of audiences. This approach also has the added benefit of building students’ technical communicationskills across a range of modes and mediums. While most of these deliverables are collaborativelywritten, we provide some opportunity for individual work to support each student’scommunication competency and confidence. We approach communication as an ethical practice,and use detailed, strategic feedback to help students consider the ways their writing aboutmaterial

Thereare ethical as well as pedagogical benefits of active learning as different delivery modes cansupport students with different learning needs [7]. There is growing evidence that studentmotivation [8] and engagement [9] play a critical role in learning [10] to the extent that studentengagement has been used as a proxy for quality of learning [11]. Hence, visions for active learningapproaches aimed at enhancing engagement need to be explored for higher education [12-13].Research in the area of game-based learning suggests that educational games are effective infacilitating learning processes and enhancing knowledge transfer.

Review Board (IRB) conducts ethical reviews on all researchproposals involving human research participants, including the use of their personal data.Once the list of relevant stakeholders was finalised and IRB approval was granted, the secondphase began. To gather input from the stakeholders, survey forms and several focus groupdiscussions were originally planned. Unfortunately, Covid-19 pandemic struck and restrictedour approach to mainly online surveys. As such, survey forms were prepared and sent torespondents using “Verint” online survey system that allowed each respondent to receive aunique survey link via email. The response generated from each link was stored on thesystem safely.Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, relatively

[4].An additional benefit of a project-based curriculum is the ability to emphasize dimensions ofengineering design decisions that go beyond the technical functioning of a part or component.Research has shown that engineering curriculum in the United States prioritizes technical aspectsof design problems over social dimensions, but success in the engineering workforce requires anunderstanding of the interplay between both facets [5]. In this context, “social” as a termencompasses environmental, ethical, economic, health, safety, political, and cultural factors [5].The inherent duality of social and technical factors in the solution to a materials design problemis showcased beautifully in “the dual tetrahedron” proposed by Savage et al.

This paper describes thecombined approach, which can serve as a model for future courses aiming to developtechnical and writing proficiency in undergraduate engineering courses.IntroductionLaboratory courses have been a part of the engineering curriculum for the last two centuriesto provide students with a practical experience of applying the engineering concepts taught inlectures [1]. Generally, laboratory courses have been designed to address ABET studentoutcomes 3, 4, and 6. The ABET outcomes are: • Outcome 3 - "an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences" [2]. • Outcome 4 - "an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering

Aside fromthe technical feasibility of the design project, students are also forced to consider businessfeasibility, environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability,and unintended consequences.Additionally, accreditation by ABET is only possible if ABET’s Criterion 5d is satisfied wherethe engineering curriculum must include “a culminating major engineering design experiencethat 1) incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple constraints, and 2) is basedon the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier

Aside from the technical feasibility ofthe design project, engineering students are also forced to consider business feasibility,environmental impacts, social, political, and ethical implications, manufacturability, andunintended consequences.The design experience, where students are tasked to solve this design challenge, must beintegrated with design learning, where students have the opportunity to learn and practice how toeffectively design a solution that meets multiple objectives and constraints. Learning how todesign is imperative for a successful design project, yet the teaching of design remainschallenging [3].
