As the focus of the study was on transdisciplinary engineering design, it was decided that ineach group, representation from different disciplines be ensured to allow for a transdisciplinarydiscussion. Therefore, one representative from each of the engineering disciplines from eachgraduation group was randomly selected and invited to the interview.

This emphasis notwithstanding, the EPICS programrecognizes the value of reflective judgment and has attempted to expand the use of criticalthinking skills to include reflections on the community partner (called the project partner), teamdynamics, the design process, and ethics [23]. This approach is consistent with the broader ABET program and the characteristics of theEngineer of 2020 reported by the NAE [26].

Instead, the question was rewritten to reflect planetary protection policies.The rhetoric surrounding planetary protection policies is presently a popular topic of discussionpertaining to current and future space exploration. What makes this issue so controversial andtimely is the ethical debate around the importance of planetary protection policies. These policiesare extremely crucial and timely for deep space travel to distant celestial bodies including theMoon, Mars, and asteroids. Thus, gaining the perspective of the undergraduate participants’opinions on this topic is meaningful to depict future policy initiatives around planetaryprotection.At

Many students drew connections to everyday elements of lifeback home, like food, coffee, alcohol, transportation, stores, and universities. Others mentionedbuying souvenirs for friends or family back home, and one participant, Ian, mentioned wantingto bring his family to places he visited. Additionally, Matthew made several comparisonsrelating to work ethic between the countries he visited and the United States.

These engineeringexperiences and many others like them occurring throughout the rocket module were unique andvaluable for high school students. The general lack of student recognition revealed by theirsurveys that they were, in fact, doing engineering may arise from the conflation of engineeringwith science endemic in schools identified by Pleasants and Olson [2]. The instructor could havedone a better job illuminating for students these “engineering teaching moments” as theyoccurred.

We framed eachquestion so as to obscure its origin while potentially allowing the student to draw out and discussa decision error of systems engineering. Why not simply give students descriptions of the failuresand the findings we discussed and have the students evaluate them? First, we wanted to eliminatebias due to students being familiar with a particular failure. For example, the Space ShuttleChallenger accident is a frequent topic in engineering ethics lectures. A learned, in-context,response from a previous exposure would not give us an indication of their abilities in systemsengineering. Second, the point of framing a question around a

As an engineer, it is important tolearn about those the project will impact to ensure that the product will meet their needs. Byasking students to consider the needs of others and providing realistic environments to practiceempathy in engineering design challenges, researchers hoped to achieve two outcomes: first,increased retention and initial registration in STEM-based classes after participating in theprogram, and second, greater overall success in designing and creating solutions.The empathy connections made in the program drew heavily from education research, includingNoddings’ ethics of care and Dweck’s growth

These blocks, which include design, analysis,ethics, and laboratory, serve to fragment rather than integrate the curriculum and therefore thelearning experience and preparation of engineering students. The curricula typically includemany levels of pre-requisites and require students fully understand theory before being permittedto practice application. Rather than necessarily informing each other, these insular blocks,typically taught by different entities within the university structure, serve as individualappendages between which the student must somehow identify connections.

Instead, she contends that the most important objective for theresearcher is instead to “activate” race by addressing it specifically, indicating to intervieweesthat it is acceptable to discuss race openly (p. 79).
