overviewyour idea, rationale, major activities, expected results, and achievement of the NSF meritreview criteria of intellectual merit, and broader impacts. Thus, at minimum, the projectsummary should state the issue or problem you propose to study, establish its relevanceand importance to your field of study, state your research hypothesis, and define the longterm goal(s), short term objectives, and associated activities. This is a good point todefine your proposed activities in the areas of research, education, and service oroutreach if appropriate. It is mandatory to state the intellectual merit and broaderimpacts of your proposed work in the project summary, as these address NSF’s meritreview criteria that are required of all proposals submitted

A common concern which kept surfacing were questionsregarding how to measure the effectiveness of new curricular efforts geared towards ethics. Asnoted by a team at Purdue [4], one of the only reliable scales for measuring ethical reasoningmechanisms was the current version of the Defining Issues Test (DIT2). The team noted that,although the DIT2 was a validated measure for the general population, it may not be sufficient tomeasure engineering-specific aspects of moral judgment [5]. In response to this criticism of theDIT2’s appropriateness within engineering education, they
