attempt to increase student motivation in engineering courses. The genesis ofthis pedagogical innovation was in the fall of 2013. At that time, faculty from the Department ofEngineering Education and Leadership (E-Lead) taught a required Introduction to EngineeringLeadership seminar course. However, retention in that course was low and the students thatremained heavily critiqued the course. Because E-Lead seeks to emphasize student leadershipdevelopment by encouraging students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Leadership(BSEL) to take ownership of not only their education but also the education of their peers, thefaculty offered the students critiquing the course an opportunity to perfect the curriculum andinstructional methods

curriculum. However, in FlightDynamics and Control I and II courses, there are typically no hands-on laboratory or co-curricular elements that demonstrate engineering and scientific principles/theories using real-world problems [1-2]. Such conventional curricula norms in Flight Dynamics and Control I andII courses are challenged in this work.KU student evaluations from 2005-2010 consistently point to the lack of real-world experiencesin many fundamental engineering disciplines. Many laboratory and design experimentsunfortunately take place within the confines of closed space, using pre-defined inputs andoutputs, and a monotonous approach to the completion of an experiment. The majority of classprojects are limited to theories and mathematical

In addition to assisting in design and development ofcurricula and in specifying and acquiring appropriate resources, these advisory boardscan also serve as an effective mechanism for transferring best practices and ‘lessonslearned’ from industry to academics.

their attitudes on ethical issues.From students’ own discussions and from Goulet’s experience, it appears that studentattitudes and perceptions can be favorably impacted by clearly and forcefully settingstandards of appropriate behavior and by integrating ethical and legal decision-makinginto the curriculum. In that manner, ethical behavior is something that is done, rather thanstudied. Wankat and Oreovicz have proposed strategies for instilling honest behavior inengineering students by stressing (as did Goulet) the Engineering Code of Ethics; byreducing anxiety that might foster unethical behavior; by faculty always being a presencein the classroom and laboratory; and by structuring engineering education in such waysthat unethical behavior is

attitudes also have broad implications inengineering such as design bias [4], algorithmic bias [5, 6], hiring/management bias [7], as wellas other types of workplace bias [8]. These ethically and economically relevant topics to allfields of engineering can be difficult to integrate into courses that are already laden with contentand technical skill development [9]. On the other hand, students find stand-alone ethics trainingless relevant to their field [10]. The most common method for balancing these opposites isintegrating a module into an engineering design course that uses a case study approach. Thetopics covered are canonical (i.e. Space Shuttle Discovery O-rings) and are almost alwaysassociated with ethical behavior in regards to job

Many factors mayimpact the sense making when teachers incorporate a teacher-of-engineering identity.
