(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. Collaboration on homework has occurred at some level since graded homework wasintroduced, but the

. While the section topics vary widely, each sectionis asked to incorporate group work, ethics, and engineering design into the course curriculum.The “Simple Robotics” section of the Applications in Engineering course has been offered eachyear for over five years. This section is heavily project-based and requires group workthroughout the semester. Mid-way through the fall 2019 semester, the thirty students in the“Simple Robotics” section participated in a two-day instructional module on equitableengineering talk. This module explicitly addressed the role of discourse in engineering practiceas well as the importance of inclusive and equitable discourse.The equitable engineering talk module took place over two 75-minute class sessions and

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). It is for this reason that reflection in thecontext of considering peer observation feedback is
