These reflections were mapped to the five EDIPT stages andcentered on their individual and team reactions, which recorded the students' problem-solvingand decision-making skills development throughout the course. Ethical approval wasobtained from the first author’s university.Data AnalysisContent analysis was used to analyze the five reflections. Content analysis is a technique thathas been extensively used in studies analyzing newspaper articles, interview transcripts, andtextbooks. The deductive content analysis method was used to conduct the coding processdrawing upon the EDIPT framework. Cue words or sentences in the reflections included inthe analysis must show evidence of the design
how to develop a solution concept based onsponsor requirements, make design choices and tradeoffs, and evaluate their design in a practicalsetting [19]. Several studies have investigated frameworks or systems that guide such decisionmaking in design [20-22], design self-efficacy or the ability to complete a design task due to beliefin their ability to succeed [23-26], and preparedness to tackle technical and non-technicalchallenges of the project [27,28]. Other aspects of engineering design that students learn throughcapstones include systems engineering, ethical concerns related to their design, and professionalresponsibility.In addition to advancing engineering design and decision-making abilities (so-called “hard”skills), students also

I am confident in this path because of powerful educationalexperiences in my own life that have reoriented me - for example, an experience during a“work week” at Highlander that challenged me to viscerally shift my relationship withwork.

Contextualization here is ameans to help students identify social injustices that engineers can then help to ameliorate [6].We interpret the results of our content review through our personal experiences as researchersand educators in science and technology studies (STS) and engineering education. We, like manyengineering educators, are wary of overly prescriptive ethics instruction which elides powerdynamics and places too much onus on individual actors [7]. Contextualization as an end is atempting solution; however, we also recognize the risks of illuminating complexity withoutproviding direction [8]. We see

While severalparticipants did mention a service ethic as influencing their decision to join the military, thistheme was not quite as strong as it was in our earlier studies of SVEs. The RANGE studentswere also more likely to indicate

Broadly, studies of student engagement have oftenexamined relationships between a student’s educational experiences and the outcomes of interest,finding that, in general, higher engagement was linked to gains in outcomes such as learning andpersistence [2], [3]. In particular, engagement in co-curricular settings, or experiences outside theclassroom, has been linked to the development of several technical and professional outcomesfor engineering students such as leadership, ethical decision making, teamwork, andcommunication [4]–[9]. Beyond those outcomes, co-curricular engagement has also been linkedto outcomes such as self-efficacy and a sense of belonging, which can improve retention andpersistence in engineering

Weber arguedthat the Protestant work ethic was the motor that drove the rise of capitalism in Northern Europe.Where the Protestant work ethic differs, with its focus on hard work and earning more and moremoney, is that the paradise that hard work promises is a decidedly more earthly one forengineering students.Yet we worry about this combination of beliefs in the context of some of the goals we believe tobe widely shared within the engineering education reform community. One of those goals isclearly to promote an image of engineering as a force of good in the world—that leads

[3] identified several “soft skills” as being extremely important for engineersincluding: writing reports, team leadership, project and time management, and setting of projectdeadlines. There are many definitions of leadership and lists of skills, knowledge, and abilitiesexpected of leaders. Bowman and Farr [4] describe a leader as “someone who can influence anorganized group toward accomplishing its goals.” They emphasize that the literature supportfour key leadership traits: communication, teamwork, cultural awareness, and ethics.There are various leadership models and debates about what constitutes leadership.
