This researcher will prepare clips of moments inthe lesson pertinent to epistemic belief, such as discussions of assumptions or ethical dilemmas(often associated with safety and process decisions). A second interview will then be conductedwith this faculty member to discuss what thoughts and motivations were associated with thesemoments. Interviews will also be conducted with three students from each classroom in order tosee how these lessons were interpreted by the students.For the first interview, the protocol will largely follow the process described by Montfort et al.(2014), featuring semi-structured questions centered around Hofer’s (1997
about the value of the ECE profession, theirinterest in the class, and their intensions to persist. The surveys also measured personalendorsements including the importance of ethical considerations in engineering decisions,the value of professional skills compared to technical training, and empathy. Data analysisrevealed that among novice students, the more they believed that the ECE professionafforded opportunities to benefit society and work with others (i.e., had prosocial value), themore interested they were in the class and in turn, the more they intended to persist in theirECE degree program. This persistence intentions relationship was not true for studentbeliefs about the ECE profession affording opportunities to gain wealth, power, and

Sciences in the groundbreaking 2004 report entitled The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, successful engineers in the 21st century should exhibit key attributes to ensure their success and the success of the engineering profession. The list of key attributes are: strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism; dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, and the ability to become lifelong learners [1]. The project described in this paper is motivated by the results and findings of these reports. Our project exposes a pool of STEM undergraduate students to research

Multiplestudies attest to the benefits of cooperative education.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7] In the engineering programs atGrand Valley State University, before beginning the capstone sequence of courses, students havecompleted three full semesters of cooperative education experience. During the semesters thestudents are on co-op, in addition to formal work activities, students are required to completeseveral learning modules. These modules cover topics including: professionalism in theworkplace; engineering ethics; engineering economics; and project management andcommunications - including corporate documents (reports and memos

In addition to their research projects, TTE participants are trained in laboratorysafety, research protocol, and professional ethics; they partake in academic and professionaldevelopment seminars to prepare for a baccalaureate degrees and careers in science andengineering. Approximately 94% of the past TTE students eligible to transfer to a 4-yearinstitution were admitted to and are now enrolled various universities across the nation andmajoring in science or engineering in comparison to a 39% statewide average1. This paper willfocus on the impact of the program on the interest in pursuing an
project on the environment, the economy,society and human well-being in both the short term and long term. To achieve the objective, theSSE program should provide students with a fundamental knowledge of civil, electrical,mechanical, environmental engineering and social science, such as economics and politicalscience. The leadership of engineers requires students to establish the competence ofresponsibility, integrity, ethics, proactivity and communication skills.Systems engineering is a shifted paradigm from traditional engineering approaches. This methodfocuses on engineering solutions from a broader perspective that includes optimizationparameters, long term lifecycle analysis and advanced methods to characterize and solvecomplex problems

These courses address importanttopics for young researchers, such as a re-introduction of the scientific method, scientific writing © American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 2018 ASEE Southeastern Section Conferenceof proposals and papers, and ethical considerations. For departments with such structuredcourses, new graduate students develop their research skills together, which saves the students’advisors time in teaching them basics individually. Such a system also avoids frustration due tolost productivity in the early stages of their studies.Many of these ideas are independent of the field of study, hence they can be taught by anythoughtful instructor who has
community members. Even as students have good intentions, there is atendency to focus on what seems solvable over what community members indicate are priorities.This is a result of years of outcomes-focused, over relational, educational practices. In theabsence of meaningful relationships, it is easy to lose sight of the purpose of communityengagement. Technologies that students create do not serve the needs of community partners,and community partners suffer as a result.At the same time, engineers’ desire to help and strong work ethic lend themselves well toworking on issues of social justice [3]. In recent years, critical pedagogy has influenced service-learning programs as educators have attempted to engage the action-reflection

How do we model for the students everything that is worthy inprofessional education as well as general education? One way is for faculty to see theirmission as one that converges. Application of this convergence needs to be modeled forthe students throughout their program of study in order for them to be able to makeconnections among professional education outcomes, general education outcomes andlife experience.Body of the PaperProfessional education (for example: engineering, architecture, nursing) is seeing ademand to increase the content and depth of knowledge as technology and the variousfields evolves.
