-playing is to introduce students to a professional environment and to enable to not onlyfocus on their technical skills but also on their professional skills. Related styles of role-playingmay have students not only role-play different potential company positions, but also be scoredusing game-style grading to advance to new positions 1, 12.Role-playing has also been utilized to let students assume the roles of expert witnesses beinginterviewed in a mock trial with the intent of having the students encounter ethical dilemmas andpractice responding as professionals 5, 6. By placing students into a situation which forces themto ‘make the call’ in their role, the instructor is more likely to engage the students as they learnengineering ethics than

would like to express our deep gratitude to Dr. SwatiNeogi, Mr. Yash Verma, Mr. Akash Kumar Burolia, and Mr. Rohan M. Jadhav and IndianInstitute of Technology, Kharagpur, India for their exceptional hospitality and dedicated effortsin providing our S-STEM fellows with invaluable study and research experiences. We areparticularly grateful for the mentorship offered on the following research projects:1. A mathematical model to assess aerogel's thermal conductivity and thermal performance - a key component of the multi-layer insulation system, mentored by Mr. Yash Verma.2. Determining the “order” in which different laminate layers in a composite of carbon fiber andepoxy resin start to fail when a load acts upon it, mentored by Mr. Akash Kumar

professionalpractice. In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, one of the requirements for certification as anEngineer-in-Training (EIT), the first step towards licensure as a Professional Engineer (PE), is topass the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentalsof Engineering (FE) examination. But one of the ways to qualify to take the FE examination isto graduate from an “undergraduate engineering curriculum in the United States accredited byABET.”1 As of September 2014, “nearly 3400 engineering programs at nearly 700 colleges anduniversities in 28 countries” had received accreditation.2 ABET states that all programs seekingaccreditation from the EAC must satisfy the General Criteria requirements at a minimum and anadditional

We hope todevelop these perspectives further in future work.Case Study 1: Why Tom argues that engineers aren’t responsible for the negativeconsequences of drone warfareTom had written his STS capstone project on the dehumanizing effect of autonomous warfare onsociety. While describing his experience in the STS program, he mentioned that the capstoneproject was the most enjoyable and productive part of the program for him. In his projectpresentation, he concluded that drones “will dehumanize society ultimately” and “make us lesssensitive to war” because the drones have cameras on them which provide a close-up view ofwar and death all the time. Tom mentions how soldiers can remotely kill using the drones andthat

, prospecting via targetedemail, presenting the couple as a package deal, and balancing career with family responsibilitiesThe National Context for the Dual-Career Job SearchDual-career couples are increasingly common in the workforce in the United States.1 This trendis applicable to engineering in general, academia in general, and by extension to STEMacademics in particular. Recent reports demonstrate these trends and their impact on the STEMacademic job seekers and their partners.Within engineering, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Talent Council surveyedmembership in May 2011 and found that about half of all petroleum engineers were part of adual-career pair. In a December 2011 follow-up survey of members aged 45 and younger, theyfound that

The following is a short list ofsome challenges that we have discovered and the corresponding approach that we use to mitigatethe challenges. Many of these are corroborated in the literature as discussed in the Introductionsection of this paper. Here we consider them collectively and concretely. 1) Challenge: Students have varying needs for encouragement and prodding. Some have low confidence. Others do not yet recognize the significance of poor study
