Tsai and Jannsen [6] reported on the collaboration between departments ofMechanical Engineering and Library on assessment of ABET SO 7. The goal was to incorporateinformation fluency into the curriculum by developing assignments that require students tolocate, evaluate, and apply information in an efficient and ethical manner. As seen from theabove discussion, majority of the schools have implemented assessment of ABET SO 7 throughsome form of an assignment. The Mechanical Engineering Department at Fairfield University switched from the old a– k outcomes to the new 1 – 7 outcomes in 2018. A need was identified for

Expectations, in this context, are defined as thestudents’ feelings or beliefs around how they interact with different elements in the ENGDdepartment. Culture refers to the outlook, ethics, interactions, and rules of the department such ashow the department operates, what might happen because of a particular action, and howstudents are treated as a member of the department.Student expectations were categorized into

beneficiary oftentimes incites avisceral display of emotions as though their work ethic, will, and determination is in question[64]. A belief in meritocracy for white students also makes them believe that they aredeserving—entitled—to whatever success they are granted. In engineering, meritocracy showsitself in the manner “that students must prove themselves to be engineers, and they will make itonly if they work really hard through the ‘death march’ of math and science courses” [62, p. 11].More specifically to engineering, a blind belief of meritocracy in engineering gives a false sensethat, since the education, training, and work is hard, this will set them up for easy and wealthylives [65].

Asseen in the Collective Orientation scores, the VTS experience notably impacted the students'perspectives on collaboration. The lower pre-VTS Collective Orientation scores are consistentwith what students shared in the interviews, as most are apprehensive of working in teams,highlighting concerns that were formed from past experiences, unknown work ethics of others,and varied abilities within a team. One student noted: “I usually resent [groupwork] and I’m immediately like, ‘Oh my God, no!’ I don't really want to do group work as much.

less common due to the extended thinkingrequired. It is also possible that these “visible” codes represent language that is accessible tostudents who are still learning the language of design—and that the LbE debrief may be a venuefor instruction on these types of arguments. We also noticed that the design context, holistic statements, and sets of artifacts play aprevalent role in the types of arguments made by students. For example, in a comparison sessionabout graphic design, students’ attention was expectedly turned toward aesthetic. The fewexamples where “scientific principles” emerged as a justification all related to a CO2 car project.And the comments coded as “ethics” all seemed to stem from a single controversial image. It

The anonymity of responses also encourages more candid answers toquestions involving ethical quandaries. Regularly polling the class about problems encouragesstudents to remain engaged.
