interviews followed a semi-structured protocol revolving around questions of: general understanding of the program and thereason for its establishment; potential benefits of the program for the university and the college;concerns about the shift in curriculum model; and views of what constitutes success or failure ofsuch a program. The general methodology for our qualitative interview process follows thatoutlined in by Strauss (Strauss, 1987). An external evaluation center performed the interviewsand small focus groups to avoid ethical conflicts. Ethnographic data has consisted of informal notes and journals kept by members of theFYE team. The goal of such an informal structure is to preserve natural observations (Anderson,2003). Since the

Thestudy uses the Sustainability Education Framework for Teachers (Warren, Archambault, &Foley, 2014) that embraces four ways of thinking including futures, values, systems, andstrategic thinking to address complex educational challenges.Futures thinking focuses on working to address tomorrow’s problems today with anticipatoryapproaches to understand and prepare for future changes, problems, and solutions (Warren et al.,2014). Values thinking is about recognizing the concepts of ethics, equity, and social justice(Warren et al., 2014). It involves understanding these concepts in the context of varying culturesand accordingly making decisions. Systems

. 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.

Member Council (CMC) of the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) concluded that employers are looking for the following attributesin engineers: engineering science fundamentals of mathematics (including statistics);engineering; context in which engineering is practiced; communication; teamwork; leadership;flexibility; curiosity and desire to learn - for life; ethical standards and professionalism.12 Thereare a number of soft skills included in the attributes of a global engineer. Together all of theseresearch studies have reoccurring soft skill themes: multicultural awareness; interacting withothers; team work; responsibility; leadership; and communication, just to name a few.Over the years, there has been a “delicate balance

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

While notintended to be comprehensive, this list will provide an initial foundation for instructors whodesire a basis for educational materials.Understandably, not all academic programs will be able to accommodate this addition with allother programmatic requirements currently in place. 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. The mechanisms that have been
required core course every semesterwith a S-L project that is either a required or elective part of the course. During 2005-06fourteen core ME courses had S-L projects, and a required engineering ethics course alsohad S-L in addition to four elective courses. 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
in a way limited by physical constraints, the otherlimited only by imagination.VisionThe vision for developing this new program was twofold, and grew from the challenges facingengineering education outlined above. 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. This was seen as a vehicle to address the issues of recruitment, Page
studentsare shaped by the behaviors of their engineering educators in both their approach to design, andintegration with the environment 4,5. 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
