In the laboratory portion of the class, which occursonce per week and is led by a graduate teaching associate (GTA), students conduct bench-topexperiments to investigate fundamental engineering concepts, with a variety of experiences tointroduce elements of each of the engineering disciplines in which a student could choose tomajor. Lab reports or lab memos are assigned most weeks to develop technical writtencommunication skills. Several of the lab reports

Five of the participants reported that their team hadnot been “in sync.” Two other participants reported that their teams were split on whether tolaunch their project as a startup. As one participant reported, their team’s dynamics started on theright path but did not go as well toward the end of the project. The goal, he said, was to get thegrade and not to pursue the project. As another participant put it, his assigned team had noguarantee of a common work ethic or a common vision.A third factor involves lack of passion for the project. These results were aggregated into the“not among students’ main goals” factor in Fig. 1 but are striking enough to merit

The project not only encourages students to think about culture in othercountries, but also prompts them to think about social barriers that would prevent innovativesolutions from being implemented in the country. This project will build upon teamwork andpublic speaking skills, as well as instill a spirit of creativity, problem-solving, and humanitiesamongst students.3.2 Movies/DocumentariesIn order to provide examples of real-world engineering ethical challenges

The PI and program manager acted only to keep the discussion on topicand ensure that all students had an opportunity to speak if they wished to do so. Seminars on twice-exceptional education and creativity were included. Workshops were presented on responsibleconduct of research and ethics, graduate school, preparing for the GRE exam, and technicalwriting.

Dealing with theseenvironmental challenges calls for technological solutions to which our engineering students canrelate.Another broader issue that was identified is the social responsibility of the global corporation andthe individual citizen 7. An important issue for study program participants to explore is what itmeans to be a responsible global corporation or citizen and to determine if global corporations“take advantage” of lax environmental and labor laws in developing countries. It was decidedthat it was important to include this ethical dimension in the study program so

The students were all chosen by thefaculty based on their high competence in their respective major, creative spark, work ethic, andthe ability to work in teams. Thus, the students were uniformly good to excellent.We used these criteria for selecting students for several reasons. Firstly, we did not want tospend time on material that was domain specific (there was an exception to this, as noted later),and we wanted students who could complete reasonable tasks in their discipline. Secondly, wewanted to concentrate on design in the context of product development to encourage creative,entrepreneurial thinking.
