These competencies are shown below d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility g) an ability to communicate effectively h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context i) a recognition of the need

. research teamconducted a qualitative study that categorized engineering curricula into four independentblocks: the first block includes general science, fundamental engineering science, andmathematics [6]. The other three blocks are lab, design, and ethics courses. Sheppard et al.indicated how engineering programs introduced theory before practice where open-ended designand lab courses were at a later stage of the curriculum. They noted that engineering ethics,humanities, and social science coursework were not treated as an integral part of the engineeringcurriculum [8]. Chen conducted a nationwide examination of first year engineering curricula [7].She categorized the first-year engineering courses into five categories: (1) engineering, (2

These compliance rateswere achieved because the weekly DEFT entries were required coursework assignments inthese classes.The iterative design process consisted of an evaluation of the system each semester, usingmixed methods. Observational data of student and instructor experiences with DEFT werecollected. Interviews and post-class surveys with students and instructors provided datatriangulation.

OverviewIn May of 2006, The University of Dayton was awarded a National Science Foundation(NSF) grant entitled, “Making Connections: Resources for K-12 Service-learning andExperiential Learning in STEM Disciplines”. The goal of this project was to provide asystem for K-12 educators to incorporate service learning into their curriculum. Thereare several objectives that the project is to accomplish: 1. Promote the entry of women and minorities into the STEM fields 2. Increase the potential pool of engineers and scientists in the United States 3. Contribute to the development of STEM educators 4. Enhance cultural sensitivity, ethics and social responsibility in future STEM workers.This system is designed to ultimately increase

Therefore, it is beneficial to examine othermechanisms for incorporating specific learning modules. Many approaches have been found tobe quite successful vis-à-vis infusing particular educational topics into existing coursework.Furthermore, integrating ethics instruction into undergraduate engineering and technologyprograms has been a popular topic in recent years12.

Nine of twelve ME faculty membersincorporated S-L in those courses (more recently 12 of 13), in addition to 3 facultyoutside the department teaching courses for ME students. This initiative is part of acollege-wide effort to have all five undergraduate programs have S-L integrated into thecore curriculum (ECE, ChE, CE, and Plastics E).Courses and projects included, for examples, introduction to engineering for first yearstudents (common to students in all five programs) who designed and built

There was a need perceived for educating a newgeneration of students whose educational preparation was unlike that of existing disciplines. Itwould vary from existing engineering programs, science programs and liberal arts programs, andprovide a hybrid that integrates ethics, societal issues, humanities and policy with science andengineering in a broader context.

Introducing problem solving together with social andcultural awareness is particularly important as engineers are increasingly employed by largemultinational corporations 3. Thus there is a need for engineers who can interact with the publicworldwide as well as provide the most appropriate solution 8,3. Engineering students discovertoo soon that the roots of a problem are often much broader than the perceived problem.Providing an appropriate solution is very challenging and requires engineers who are guided bytheir “ethics and are able to bridge the gaps between cultures and between people andtechnology”1.The U
