, therehas been lack of empirical research addressing the relationship between ethics and emotion. Inparticular, it is not known how emotion and intuition actually influence ethical decision-makingof engineering students.In this work-in-progress paper, we present preliminary results of our exploratory investigationabout how emotion and intuition permeate engineering students’ experiences with ethics. Weanalyzed 11 interview transcripts, which had been collected as part of a larger longitudinal,mixed-method research project with engineering students. We conducted an inductive thematicanalysis and found that students experienced a wide range of moral emotions from positive tonegative depending on the situation. We also found evidence of students’ use

order to effectively solve the complex problems of today, engineers are often required to workin teams [1]. ABET accredited programs are therefore required to equip students with “an abilityto function effectively on a team […] [2]. Although there are many opportunities throughout theundergraduate engineering curriculum to incorporate team work (i.e. group assignments andpresentations, lab courses, design projects, etc.), students do not typically receive formalguidance on how to be an effective teammate. This can limit students’ opportunities toconscientiously practice and improve upon their team-working skills.Students placed in teams without additional guidance on effective teamwork techniques canstruggle, and the team may merely divide work

Mastering work was meant to encourage low-stakes practice,with multiple submissions allowed for each problem, and no hand-written work associated withthe Mastering problems was collected. Second, Mastering grading is only granular in the senseof how many attempts a student has taken—not in reference to the quality of their work leadingup to submission of their answer. In the absence of any evidence of problem-solving process, wedecided to remove the Mastering data from the analysis completed here because it is qualitativelydifferent (i.e., no meaningful partial credit) than the other pieces of graded work in the analysis.Students also completed a small project (5% of their final grade) on a topic of their choice, andthey earned class credit (up to

BSET graduate. It is aminor point, as most industry opportunities do not require PE certification for opportunities, thusthe BSET graduate is on an equal footing in most career opportunities.ConclusionThe question remains, which avenue should you pursue? It depends! If you enjoy mathematics,using the knowledge to solve complex problems in design projects, then the BSE may be thecorrect choice. On the other hand, if you would rather work with your hands using theknowledge base gained in school, then the BSET may be the proper choice. Either choice is agood one, so decide your strong points and interests and let the chips fall where they may! Enjoyyour career as an Engineer or Technologist, the choice is up to you. Proceedings of

The most basic are “think-pair-share” exercises, where studentsthink about a problem, discuss it with their neighbors, and then share it with the rest of the class.Teams may work together in class to solve problems, with the instructor providing writtencomments.
