However, conceptual understanding of EM phenomena is notindependent of sophisticated mathematical analysis, especially in upper level EM courses13. Inthese situations, the vector nature of the EM fields and the use of abstract operators can make thestudy of EM phenomena significantly more challenging.

While student design contexts differ in important ways fromprofessional practice,4-5 the program-based engineering education context represents animportant space for novice engineers to learn about and develop understandings that will impacttheir future engagement in design. In the context of design, there are many different values, such as innovation or a primaryconcern for safety, that guide design decisions and processes and can impact how designers thinkabout the ethical issues related to their designs and the implications of their “everyday” ethicaldecisions.

Results of pre-and post-tests, along with observational data gathered by the facilitators, indicated that studentswere concerned largely by two topics: concerns about how to balance their career ambition andtheir goals for a fulfilling personal life (whatever that may be), and how to have positive andbeneficial relationship with mentors or advisors.

Within engineering and design teams, engineering educators are concerned not onlywith how individual students develop ethically, but also how everyday ethical decision-makingemerges during team interactions and becomes integrated in design solutions. Furthermore, theseethical decisions often do not present themselves as traditional dilemmas, but are issues that areconfronted in the everyday process of design, and are influenced by team members’ cultural anddisciplinary backgrounds and the ethical climates of the team and the organization.In considering engineering

This discourse is supported through a computer- based asynchronous collaborativelearning environment such as Knowledge Forum (KF)10. The workspace preserves an on-goingrecord of the discourse so that participants can return to earlier ideas for reflection, synthesis, andrefinement.

learners construct newunderstanding by building on what they already know [8]. We see approaches that connect toculture as a critical extension of such teaching; culturally relevant pedagogy connects tostudents’ cultural experiences and understanding [9-13]. In such approaches, students’ “funds ofknowledge” are leveraged, using the resources students bring from their experiences in home andother culturally-specific out-of-school settings [14]. Such approaches reflect a range of student-centered teaching, including using students’ strengths to introduce new instruction, supportingcollaborative learning spaces, adapting curriculum, engaging in social justice and communityengaged learning, etc. [15].
