. As with other disciplines, engineering typically subsumesethics, appropriating it as its own unique subfield. As a framing, ethics in engineering producesspecialized standards, codes, values, perspectives, and problems distinct to engineering thoughtand practice. These form an engineering education discourse with which engineers engage. It isepistemological in its focus, meaning that this framing constructs knowledge of properdisciplinary conduct. On the other hand, engineering in ethics as a framing device insists thatengineering become a specialized articulation of ethical thought and action. Here, “engineer” and“engineering” are not nouns but verbs, referring to particular processes and technologies fortransformation. One is not an

senior year, recenttrends emerged to weave PBL in the first year and throughout the curriculum in semester-long projects.Students are being introduced to design methods, team dynamics and ethics in parallel with the analysis-focused courses (Dym et al., 2005). However, the systematic integration of design and analysis in coursesis still lacking (Carberry & McKenna, 2014). Some of the outstanding research questions about PBL asproposed by Dym et al. (2005) include: “What are the best proportions of problems, projects, teamwork,technology, and reality for a given state of student development,” and “how do the proportions changewith regard to the context of different engineering disciplines and institutional missions?” (p. 112).There are some
undergraduate students. In addition, theacademy would address current weaknesses in engineering curriculum8 and satisfy anumber of requirements set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET)9. This research program was created to mimic the real-world design process,where not everyone on the design team is an engineer. Students’ learning is motivated bythe goal of solving a real world problem. This helps to show the applicability of theresearch, something that is found to encourage different types of learners, especiallywomen. In this new project-based learning environment, students of each discipline will Page 10.1369.2learn to teach
