. In fact, many of the ideas presented by theassociation are extracurricular in nature, which has been found to be ineffective for reachingengineering graduate students, according to meta-synthesis [1]. While librarians are oftenspecialized in the areas engineering graduate students lack and seek personal mentorship in, theyare often stuck in providing that support by ineffective means. The typical engineering curriculum does not have courses on research methods, few havecourses on research integrity or publication ethics, proposing research, writing, peer reviewing,or how your worldview influences your research [4, 5]. Published engineering literature, in fact,often leaves many of these important aspects of research as assumed [5
students in a civil engineering structural dynamicscourse benefitted from active learning with teamwork and problem-based and projectexperiences23.Cooperative Learning/TeamworkEngineers work in teams. Teamwork is an active learning method that many students enjoy andfind beneficial. Groups of students in an electrical engineering course enjoyed presentingsolutions on the board while interacting with the instructor and classmates24. Students alsoenjoyed discussing engineering ethics in groups25.In addition, successful cooperative learning or teamwork requires that students be accountable totheir peers. Students who focus on being good team players become self-directed, autonomouslearners26. Peer evaluations in a civil engineering course revealed

Butcher claims the reports call for, “ingenious leaders —ingenious engineers” and calls these engineers, “well-rounded RenaissanceEngineer”[s] [3]. Turns, Atman, et al., [4] use these reports as an input to what anengineer needs to know. Dym, et al. present how engineering education is beingchallenged to require students to consider additional design constraints required aspart of a “new fundamentals” [5]. In response to

While for some students the trustworthiness of an academic might besufficient, other students may expect you to cite your sources, especially with regards tocontentious or novel topics. This helps present the information as being more than just youropinion, assisting students with the evaluation process.Additionally, in areas of Engineering that might be more subjective (such as ethics andprofessional skills) it can be helpful to acknowledge that reasonable minds can come todifferent conclusions based on the same set of facts. Coming across diverse perspectives hasbeen shown to increase empathy and improve ethical decision making in students, as itteaches them their original perspective is not necessarily universal [27].Component 3

The results of engineering design are ever present in virtually every facetof society and the connections between how engineering

improve their communication skills. Inthe Fall semester, the students are required to a make an oral presentation of their projects totheir fellow classmates. Whereas in the Spring semester, the students are required to participatein the Rice Undergraduate Research Symposium (RURS) poster competition. The results fromthese presentations will be counted as a portion of their final course grade.Further Improvements. Two additional modules are planned for future implementation. Onemodule deals with scientific research ethics. Topics in this module may include experimentaltechniques and the treatment of data, conflict of interest, publication and openness, fair use ofsources. The second module is targeted to improve the students’ scientific writing

engineering students,and they select a major at the end of the freshman year. The first year curriculum is essentiallyidentical for all students and the Division of Engineering Fundamentals serves as their home.The Division’s 13 faculty teach the two first-year engineering classes (EF1015 and EF1016) anda variety of sophomore level programming and graphics classes. EF1015 and EF1016 are both 2credit hour courses typically offered in the fall and spring, respectively. In addition to teaching,EF faculty are the advisors of the 1200+ first year students.BackgroundUntil the fall of 2001, EF1015 topics included ethics, the engineering profession, problemsolving, programming with MatLab, statics; material balance; electricity; and energy.Traditional EF1016
outcomesresult from being involved out-of-classroom experiences, defined as Greek life (i.e. fraternitiesand sororities), community service, design teams, co-ops, and internships [4]. While students arepart of many clubs and organizations, experiencing out-of-classroom life, including service to thecommunity, at this university, they also tend take advantage of many of the employmentopportunities available. It is worth noting the benefits of a busy out-of-classroom lifestyle, canalso be a detriment if time-management skills are challenged. Capstone projects at this universityinvolve ethical engineering practices, including study of national organizations’ ethical codes ofconducts, help tie in-and out-of-classroom environments together.Passow and Passow
