Does increased engagement result in higher performance on ethics assessments? 3. Is a blended approach of independent microlearning and an in-class team case study effective in bridging the lower order of memorizing ethical terms to applying ethical principles to a dilemma?The question on engagement was evaluated through an end of semester Likert style survey, andthe impact of the learning approach was assessed by comparing student participation in themicrolearning modules to performance in an end of semester ethics quiz.

Introduction There is a growing importance of computers within the modern age. With more “work fromhome” opportunities being created, societies’ reliance on computer interaction continues toadvance. While this is not a problem in itself, there is an alienated sector of society that is unableto take advantage of these opportunities. A significant portion of the population struggles withimpairments [1, 2]. With technology being such a driving force in society, more opportunities arecreated for those who are constrained and unable to leave home as easily. As opportunities grow,those with impairments, like amputees

college studentsdescribe experiencing moderate to high stress levels [1], [2]. As students are busy and feelingoverwhelmed, they have limited structured opportunities for reflecting on and developing theirpurpose and professional identities. In STEM environments, students may find that they do notfit into a predominant narrative of just “being good at math” and thus lack an adequatejustification for entering an engineering field. Similarly, they may find that they areunderrepresented demographically, underresourced compared to some peers, or unsure how theybelong in general, even if they are interested in their field of study. These students may find itdifficult to feel comfortable taking advantage of opportunities available to them on campus

Thedevelopment, preparation, and processing of the files are completely done digitally. For instance,the three-dimensional modeling using computer-aided design (CAD) software, slicing the object,generating the tool path, and processing parameter selections, are all performed digitally.

These challenges have been addressed byseveral authors with different approaches and success. One of the key points is to understand thatthe students entering college campuses in this age have access to information in many forms thatmay blur the line between honest and dishonest behavior [1]. This may be simply due to the factthat students consider it cheating when someone looks at their neighboring

In fact, dating back to 2014, it was stated that “increasingreliance on cell-phones among young adults and college students may signal the evolution of cell-phone use from a habit to an addiction” [1]. Whether it is texting each other, checking on socialprofiles, or just playing games, the majority of students observed in the author’s classes activelyuse a cell phone during class, often placing it on the desk.

For example, according to Nickels [1], manyinstitutions have incorporated—and in some cases, fully replaced labs using discrete TTL DIPparts with—programmable devices.
