shouldbe the most important or the highest priority. While it seems true that the health, safety, andwelfare of the public should be high priorities for engineers, there are certain situations where itmay not be possible to hold both safety and welfare paramount at the same time. As it is worded,the code of ethics provides no guidance as to which should be given final priority in such cases.The concepts of health, safety, and welfare have been central to engineering ethics since 1935when a Society Code of Ethics was first suggested for consideration in the May issue of TheAmerican Engineer [14]. The suggested language, in this document, included health, safety, andwelfare as the second of a series of engineering ethical principles, stating, “B. (1

Previousstudies about raising interest in STEM majors focused on (a) the number of undergraduatestudents who decide on a major prior to attending college, (b) common misconceptions regardingthe STEM field, and (c) the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques to increase curiosity.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, pedagogical techniques to introduce K-12 students tothe STEM fields must be adjusted. This paper investigates the effectiveness of variousmethods to engage and interact with K-12 students interested in STEM during the COVID-19 learning environment and discusses key conclusions from a pilot 90-minute virtual modulefor K-12

captured student demographics, awareness of topics, and 5-point Likert scales evaluating students’ familiarity, perceived importance, interest, and perceived relevance of HD and SDOH for drug delivery. Review papers on delivery systems written by groups of students were evaluated using inductive thematic analysis to capture codes related to the translation of DDS to society and potential HD and SDOH topics. Controlled with the same rubric and traditional course content, three group report sets (total N=23 reports) including the current cohort of students receiving HD and SDOH content (Semester A, N =8 reports) and previous cohorts (Semester B, N = 7 reports; Semester C, N = 8 reports; both without additional content) were
mentoring partnerships; and Characteristics of both the mentors and mentees. Another consideration in the degree of formality is the extent to which guidelines for the mentorship roles are outlined, including relationship goals, how and when to interact in the mentorship, and a prearranged length for the mentoring relationship. b. Tie strength: Intended closeness of the mentoring relationship. [30] The concept of tie strength can be used to define how close a mentoring relationship is, i.e. strongly or weakly tied. Typically formal faculty-student relationships evolve to strongly tied relationships, but ultimately it is a function of breadth, intensity, and duration of interactions. c
