This is a truly distinctive approach to our 1 Fall 2010 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, Villanova University, October 15-16, 2010program compared to existing, more traditional programs. To ensure the breadth of understanding thatwe wish to impart to our students, the core courses were structured so that the first two coursesprovide the technical education and the third course provides the broader context (although this is alsowoven into the first two courses as well).Our new inter-disciplinary Master’s degree in Sustainable Engineering was launched in December2010. The program is available to all engineering and science disciplines and is

of socialjustice concerns in organ transplantation. This work will be based on two primary domainsrelevant to science teaching and learning: socioscientific issues and the scaffolded knowledgeintegration framework.Socioscientific issuesA growing segment of educational practitioners have amplified research focused on expandinglearners’ sociopolitical consciousness in relation to the material they are learning within theirscience classes [1], [2]. As a consequence, socioscientific issues have become a focal point forresearch attention by experts in argumentation, ethics, and science education more broadly; anunsurprising development given the area’s potential to not only improve the conceptualunderstanding but also transform learners

There also remains a potential for subjectivity in interpretation of these attributes and in thedevelopment of their assessment tools, which can be a source of poor deficiencies/weaknesses.As also noted by Koehn9, the practitioners believe that the same level of significance should notbe stressed on the awareness issue in an engineering curriculum.It may be noted that licensing requirements are solely based on technical competency except thatState of California requires a take home exam on ethics.

As Arctic scholar Frank Sejersen writes, the introduction of neweconomies of practice will not only generate “new moral expectations between people but [...]also create new agencies, resource conceptualizations, imagined communities, conflicts andproblems” (2022: 164). Consequently, describing the design of integrated trusses as beingembedded in wider moral debates allows researchers to attend to the plasticity through whichknowledge on home construction in this region is currently emerging in response to wider socio-economic and environmental factors (Biehl and Locke 2017).Returning to the larger question about ethics in engineering, particularly

In this course students tackle classic readings from Descartes to modern ruminations on artificial intelligence, examine our relation to our creations and pets, and the way our various identities affect how our personhood is perceived and protected.Some basic information from the course syllabus is described below.Broad Topics covered 1.

Additionally,because white males represent the majority of engineering jobs, data from this group will behighly useful to understanding inclusion perspectives in the workplace. Of note, however, is theimpact that underrepresented groups may have on inclusivity in engineering. McGee and Bentleydescribe how black and Latinx undergraduate STEM students develop an equity ethic or aconcern for social justice based on past suffering from inequities [19]. It’s possible thatunderrepresented groups in engineering feel a desire for inclusivity because of an equity ethic
