Further, when this form of collaboration isprivileged, then relationships no longer have as their focus a given project or deliverablebut rather those relationships endure and are nourished by their place in a broadernetwork to effect deeper and more systemic local, national, or international change.Socio-technical Project-based Learning Model and AssessmentAn engineering instructor should play an important role in leading students to view socialand ethical choices as vital parts of their future lives, both as professionals and ascitizens.

thefields of water resources engineering, environmental engineering, cosmetics, and nutrition havebeen developed. By focusing on these fields, the positive impact that algae can have on issuesfaced by developing nations around the world was highlighted. Gas transfer and coagulationflocculation experiments have been used to research the sustainability of algae use in the watertreatment process, with a focus on the feasibility of replacing current processes with algae basedalternatives. Calorimeter tests have been conducted to research the potential nutritional benefit ofalgae based products. Exposure to social and environmental injustices along with ethics casestudies are also an integral part of the project. Ultimately, the purpose of this project
experts atchallenging students to develop excellent listening skills, cultural sensitivity, ethics, andempathy13,14. While engineering programs require students to take courses in the arts,humanities, and social sciences, students often compartmentalize these human-centric skills as“liberal arts” skills instead of weaving them into their technical expertise. There are numerousexamples of engineering programs or courses that have incorporated arts and humanities intodesign courses to encourage students to practice integrating human-centric skills with theirtechnical knowledge.15-17 A major challenge faced by this approach is that these courses are oftenseen as design courses and the “soft skills” offered by the arts and humanities faculty are just
current and future generations. In addition, the Accreditation Board for EngineeringTechnology (ABET) requires curriculum that directly addresses sustainability through criterions3(c) and 3(h). Criterion 3(c) states, “an ability to design a system, components, or process tomeet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social,political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability” while criterion 3(h)states, “the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal, economic, environmental, and societal context” [3]. Incorporating sustainability as partof ABET requirements ensures that students are prepared for sustainability challenges; howevercurrent civil

Duringthe past several years, a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has focusedon the implementation of failure case studies into engineering curricula. Work has focused ondeveloping teaching resources on a wide variety of failure cases for faculty to utilize in a varietyof undergraduate engineering courses1, 2, 3. The project has extended from the lead institution,Cleveland State University, to eleven other university partners, including the university of thelead author, the University of North

While research has demonstrated that cortisol levels in human saliva are goodpredictors of a biological response to stress and discomfort, few studies have explored theassociations between cortisol levels and positive emotions, specifically enjoyment, orfuture-oriented motivation, bringing significance to the current study.

administered on the assignedreadings and the homework assignments and students were provided with quick feedback. Onoccasion, clickers were employed to assess the understanding of concepts and create anenvironment to engage students and provide immediate feedback to both students andinstructors. Students worked problems in teams and each team submitted responses using aclicker. On other occasions, students were asked to take a position for or against ethically-oriented challenges confronted during benefit cost analyses and debate the issues. This activitynot only assisted the sensing and global learners by providing relevancy of the course material toreal-life issues, but also engaged students actively in thinking, analyzing, and
differentiatestraditional engineering majors (mechanical for this study) from interdisciplinary majors such asBioengineering or Biomedical engineering. A key finding was that “Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students who want to prove themselves in the hardest possible major and benefit society are likelyto be in interdisciplinary majors.” In addition, “BIOE (bioengineering) females feel they have agreater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice of majorcompared to top enrollment (traditional engineering and other majors) females.” Rasoal, et

The SparkFun Inventor Kit was selected for the new and improved course because there is anextensive online community for SparkFun and Arduino. Since this is a freshman course, it is veryimportant that there are a variety of resources available to help them complete the assignments.The SparkFun Inventor Kit includes sample programs, sample circuit diagrams and schematics, anArduino Uno microcontroller, sensors, resistors, LEDs

engineering students often dothe opposite: they focus on social (and sometimes SJ) dimensions but exclude technical ones.With the exception of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and occasionally ProfessionalCommunication and Engineering Ethics, most HSS disciplines rarely try to bridge the social andthe technical. Combined, this dichotomy of the engineering curriculum into the technical(engineering sciences) and the social (HSS), with perhaps some occasional (yet often superficial)sociotechnical integration in engineering design, constitutes a disservice to future engineers.Engineers-to-be need to practice thinking not just technically or socially, but sociotechnically.By practicing sociotechnical thinking, engineering students can improve their
Student Outcomes to Knowledge and SkillsTo help implement the new model, we hierarchically prioritize the ABET criteria to guide thedesign of direct measures 20. The hierarchical prioritization is shown in Figure 4. Criteria 3c ofthe ABET 2000 program outcomes calls for students to demonstrate an ability to “design asystem, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such aseconomic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, andsustainability”. We view this student outcome as paramount to engineering practice andencompassing of the remaining student outcomes 21.

We teach engineering design thinking as founded on empathy & interchange with all stakeholders; we encourage students to become problem definers, not simply problem solvers (Cohen, Rossmann, and Sanford Bernhardt, 2014). • Engineering ethics infused throughout the engineering curricula in several majors; faculty members develop and include modules on ethics related to the course’s technical content.

For three years, the program recruits acohort of 10 students/year who work on a number of advanced manufacturing related projects for10 weeks in the summer starting from last week of May through first week of August. Eachstudent has to complete both research ethics and lab safety training before starting their research.All students are mentored by a professor and also a graduate student. In other words, eachstudent has a faculty and as well as a graduate student mentor. For 2018 cohort, all facultymentors were from College of Engineering.
