EAC-ABETCriterion 5 requires programs to have curriculums to “ensure that students are prepared to enterthe practice of engineering,” a term defined in all fifty state licensure laws [5]. The third editionof ASCE’s Body of Knowledge includes a professional responsibility outcome [6]. Civilengineering graduates are expected to identify and explain professional responsibility issuesincluding professional licensure. Many accredited civil engineering programs introduceprofessional licensure topics in their senior capstone and senior seminar course, a time whenstudents take the FE exam and are on the pathway to becoming licensed.

correlating with the students’ finalgrades, the discussion board learning analytics help instructors pinpoint students falling behindin their participation. Learning analytics collect an immense amount of data on student interactions. Despite theopportunity to make data-informed course development decisions, the required parsing toorganize and analyze the learning analytics is a time-intensive process. Therefore, education isneeded on the organization and analysis processes to inform instructors and eventually encourageuse of LMS learning analytics. Additionally, the availability of every students’ interaction dataon every course in an LMS establishes ethical and privacy concerns for students [31]. In highereducation, FERPA protects the

, open-ended problems are definedas potentially ill-defined, ambiguous, potentially lacking critical information, having manypotential solutions, and multiple potential courses of action to reach these solutions. Open-endedproblem solving, i.e., engineering judgment, then, is the ability to navigate the complexity ofopen-ended problems. Paretti et al. [7] defines engineering judgment as students’ ability to weighcosts and benefits to select among competing options based on disciplinary values andstakeholders’ values. Pantazidou and Nair [8] describe this as an “ethic of care” and draw on anexample of a vertical lift bridge design case to illustrate these dynamics. Shaw et al.

(or memorized). Therefore, the approach of maximizing partial credit based onmemorizing a few problems is counter to the goals of an engineering education. Furthermore, itcan be said that the current partial credit grading model rewards students for pretending that theyknow how to solve a problem, even when they don’t. This means our grading model ispromoting behavior that is explicitly unethical for professional engineers, according to theNational Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers [7] (paragraphsII.5.a and III.1.a).A second practice affecting learning is the copying of homework solutions from onlineresources.

In contrast, many Indigenous civilizations are more closely aligned with what hasbeen called the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP), which adopts a more holistic, interdependentview of these relationships oriented more toward an ethic of care for the natural world rather thanconquest [5]. These paradigm differences are especially important in the context of engineeringeducation because the DSP positions engineering and the technology it produces as a tool forsubduing nature in the service of humanity [8]. Individuals who hold more closely to the NEPmay thus find themselves further marginalized and alienated within the field because they hold afundamentally different

). Valli (1997, p. 70) asserts that “[Reflectiveteachers] can look back on events; make judgments about them; and alter their teachingbehaviors in light of craft, research, and ethical knowledge. Teachers who are unreflective wouldbe limited in their ability to make good decisions, to consider the consequences of their actions,or to alter their actions”. Loughran (2002, p.35) adds that “experience alone does not lead tolearning; reflection on experience is essential”. Additionally, adequate reflection requiresconsideration of alternate perspectives as well as one’s own, for the purpose of reframing theproblem for deeper understanding (Schӧn, 1987).
