Competencies within thesecategories include responsibilities, ethics, communication, teamwork and autonomous work [2,3]. As 3-dimensional modeling needs have increased, some of the other software like wordprocessing and spreadsheet programs may no longer be a requirement in curricula [4]. GoogleClassroom has provided free software for word processing and spreadsheet programs to over 40million users and 30 million students and teachers [5].During the pandemic closures, there was also a variety of non-traditional coursework deliverymethods in order to overcome the lack of interaction in the classroom such as; GroupMe,Remind, Slack, and Zoom [6].

Nearly all student reports acknowledged using ChatGPT,and a few also acknowledging the use of QuillBot [11] and Grammarly [12]. The students wereallowed to work in teams of up to three members, yet many students opted to workindependently. Each report was to have a section describing economic, environmental, andsocietal considerations, as well as a section summarizing the ethical obligations of professionalengineers. Students were given a suggested outline for the report, description of required reportformatting, and a detailed grading rubric.ReportsReports from two semesters are compared.

The instructors try to impart a sense of ethics encompassing the idea that one'sprofessional work is located within a larger sphere of personal ethical responsibility. The concept of "service" as a valid and important goal of science and technologyeducation has been endorsed in an International Association of University Presidents'Policy Statement on Technology And Higher Education, stressing "the tremendouspotential and critical implications of technology in support of higher

However, the span of capstone design curricula can be as short as one semester.In addition, some curricula require the fabrication of a functional prototype, while others merelyrequire a complete detailed design package. Clearly, the size and requirements of the project, aswell as the level of instruction on methodology, management, communications, economics, andethics, are limited within a one-semester capstone experience.

They then built the scale outside of the learning community meeting time, andbrought it to a large group meeting where all groups competed to see which scale could mostaccurately measure a small weight (several grams). Students were asked to reflect on how theirteams function on this task, how they contributed to the team, and how they could improve theirperformance on teams.Another engineering-related activity was to have students consider engineering ethics.
