part of the continued development of the game-based ethical interventions, we are piloting anew assessment tool specific for playful learning in engineering ethics and aimed at measuringstudents ethical reasoning and thought process after they have played the game(s).The past year has provided insight into the potential limitations of the existing methods formeasuring changes in ethical reasoning in students, as well as compared changes between firstyear and senior students. The last year has highlighted the situated or contextual nature of muchof the ethical decision making that students do and incorporated both qualitative and quantitativemethods. Further results from this investigation will provide the engineering education communitywith a
students would perform during their undergraduate education. Finally, we suggest that anactivity like this should be evaluated as a research question(s) to find out if the intervention canreplace (maybe only partially replace) students’ perception of the “Mythical Engineer”.Understanding how education will help us write ourselves into our futuresOur second piece of how story and narrative are fundamental to diversifying engineering is morerelated to what is the fundamental transformation that begins in undergraduate education, andmore broadly, in higher education. Here, we look at the body of work by Baxter Magolda and herideas on intellectual development. As she has a broad base of research articles and books, we startby recommending some of her

thefinal project. When we compared the control group to the treatment group (grades and creativityscore), there was no evidence that the treatment group’s performance was better than the controlgroup. Based on these results alone, and due to the small sample size, it is unclear if the use of arobotic hand directly impacted student performance. This gives good cause to repeat theexperiment several more times before making a conclusive judgement.References[1] R. Felder, “Engineering Education: a Tale of two paradigms,” 2nd. Int Conf Geotech.
