TheBritish educational sociologist Reay [18, p.20] concludes that the forces of mutualinstrumentalism on one hand, and individual competitive self interest in academia on the otherhand, ‘lacks any intrinsic ethic of care’. While, in the main, we were confronted with materialconditions that did not support our collaboration, as feminist researchers we sought to payattention to an ethic of care which was essential to building the trust necessary to engage acrossparadigms and disciplines.The difficult material conditions were also exacerbated by our location in four differentdepartments and on several campuses, even though they were all in the same city.

The students also participated in social events suchas a welcome picnic and a trip to a state park.Literature ReviewResearchers have found that educational benefits to students participating in undergraduateresearch experiences are improvements in communication and research skills, ability toperform teamwork, and motivation to pursue advanced degrees (Bauer & Bennett, 2003;Lopatto, 2004; 2007).

The BGSU capstone course has involved holisticPBL assignments that mimic real-world circumstances and require students to draw upon theskills and knowledge from their academic training. The student learning objectives for thecapstone course include most of the program’s twenty American Council for ConstructionEducation accreditation learning objectives, which, in addition to topics covered in the AICexamination, include written and oral communication, ethics, legal issues, engagement in multi-disciplinary teams, employment of electronic based technology, project delivery methods,sustainability, and risk management. BGSU’s capstone course is
college level and is the required capstone experience for all Civil, Electrical,Environmental and Mechanical Engineering majors in the university. In addition, a small numberof students from other majors enter the program each semester to take part in specific projects tomeet either technical elective or capstone requirements in their chosen degree program. Each ofthe three departments involved in the capstone program is looking for students to walk awayfrom the program with 1. a significant capstone project experience, 2. professional practice and ethics training, and 3. knowledge of discipline specific design tools and techniques.A leadership committee, supported by faculty advisors, oversee the Capstone program to ensurethese key

Similarly, the international research students improvedthree of their four scales from pre-test to post-test (Global Engineering Ethics and HumanitarianValues; Global Engineering Efficacy; and Global Engineering Community Connectedness); thedomestic students decreased on all four scales.

,economic issues, and workplace dynamics as reasons for engineers to value diversity.Social justice can be defined as “…full and equal participation of all groups in a society that ismutually shaped to meet their needs” (Adams, Bell and Griffin 2007). This definition relates toengineering in more than one way. First, to achieve social justice, all members of society withthe interest and aptitude must have the opportunity to fully participate in engineering practices.Thus the changing demographics of the United States might be one reason engineers should careabout diversity (Change the Equation, 2015). Second, as described in the preamble to theNational Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics, “Engineering has a direct and vitalimpact on

However, additional research, needs to be performed before reachingany solid conclusions; for example, are these results repeatable? Also, will the results hold inother areas of the FE Exam, for example, problems in ethics or engineering economics, in whichthe vocabulary may be more difficult to comprehend and problem statements are usually longerin length? Still, students committed orthographic errors in the translated text; however, these did notalter the meaning of the problem. The author was able to conclude that the students clearlyunderstood the problem and had identified the problem to be solved (find

Hanlan and Ziino [3] found that first-yearengineering students lacked skills to conduct a proper literature search and could not locateappropriate references for constructing prototype devices. They also found that engineeringstudents lacked the ability to judge the quality of cited sources and were relying almostpredominantly on web based searches. Palmer and Tucker [4] found that
