In [52], Baylor University created aHumanitarian Engineering concentration consisting of: 1) people/cultures, 2) economics, 3)development, 4) energy, 5) food/water, and 6) international service to ensure engineering effortshad a positive long term effect on those receiving aid. This is similar to the HumanitarianEngineering and Social Entrepreneurship (HESE) Program at Penn State University [53] whichstresses systems thinking, communication, cultures, ethics, interdisciplinary courses andcocurricular service.

The launch video and design briefincluded information on the more than 15,000 abandoned mines in New Mexico that threatensafe access to water, how acid mine drainage occurs, a brief history on why mining wasbeneficial to the state, and how mining disasters have had and continue to have myriad negativeconsequences for people and the environment.Students were guided to conduct research on the problem and existing solutions, as well asresearching ways to engage with communities that might be mistrustful of outsiders. We felt thiswould provide them an opportunity to reflect on engineering ethics. They gave 5-minute pitchesof their solutions, following similar guidelines for the previous pitch.Data collection and analysisStudents

ethical issues arising from cultural or nationaldifferences, 5) possessing understanding of cultural differences relating to product design,manufacture, and use, and 6) possessing understanding of implications of cultural differences ofhow engineering tasks might be approached”.Pitts and McGonagle (2013) expand the conversation to consider the intersection of study abroadwith leadership and communication skills. Pitts and McGonagle state, engineers should be “ableto explain point of view, approach those with differing backgrounds and cultures; assess theextent to which you are understood… Appreciate, engage, and connect with those who havedifferent perspectives." These researchers reported a 100% greater improvement in GPA post-study abroad

This letter included a deadline for the students to accept the offer and clearly statedtheir obligations once accepted. It is recommended that the selection committee also choosealternate candidates in case any of the participants decide to withdraw from the program.Although the program was intended to support six students each year, we have been able tosupport eight students during each of first two offerings.

).For the Civil Engineering Discipline, ABET relies on the input of the American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) who consider themselves a “recognized leader in this [sustainability indesign] advancing area” (ASCE 2015). The concept of sustainability even appears in the CivilEngineering Code of Ethics as one of the Fundamental Cannons that “Engineers shall…strive tocomply with the principles of sustainable development…;” (ASCE 2015) yet more evidence thatsustainability is becoming a foundational and essential component of an engineering education.ABET Criterion 2How these open ended outcomes are achieved is assessed by a combination of the ABET Boardsand the Institutions themselves.

question about why they are interested in the research experience. A primary component of our initial selection rubric was the number of science and math courses they had taken and how they had performed in those classes. In year one of this project, we required that students must have taken a year of college calculus, physics, and chemistry to participate. However, we quickly observed that most of our applicants did not have these courses. Therefore, we modified our selection criteria so that we would not overlook students with great potential. The new rubric puts more weight on the teacher recommendation with an emphasis on work ethic and “grit”, students’ grades in the science classes they had taken, and their veteran status. Of the

In addition to the assignments in this course, engineering faculty in the disciplines created linked activities in the senior project courses that allow application of these concepts to the students’ engineering disciplines. This class takes a case study approach so that students might appreciate the social, ethical and cultural perspectives of engineering. Over the course of the year, there are case studies that specifically address each student learning objective (SLO) in Areas S and V. In the pilot year (2013-2014), the GE faculty created a structure for the modules so that additional faculty members could create new case studies in the future, so that the course is

theintersections of multiple underrepresented categories are small in number [30]. Small numbers ofstudents can be viewed as “anomalies” not representative of the whole and dismissed.Additionally, statistical power to detect differences or understand students at multiple intersectionsis impossible to obtain in smaller datasets. Finally, these small numbers of students can bedisaggregated from the larger dataset in ways that re-identify participants and make their responsesnon-anonymous, which have ethical implications [8].Qualitative research often focuses on rich and thick descriptions of students’ individualexperiences that can be used as powerful examples [8]. This approach has strengths, especially inunderstanding the experiences of a small number of
