The key attributes are listed as: strong analytical skills,practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership,high ethical standards, professionalism, dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, andbecoming lifelong learners. The NAS also prepared reports entitled The Engineer of 2010,Rising Above the Gathering Storm, and Examination of the U.S. Air Force’s Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Workforce Needs in the Future and Its Strategy toMeet Those Needs.9-13 One statement is

However, there is some evidence to suggest that ambassadormembership does benefit the undergraduate students and their burgeoning sense of themselves asprofessionals, which involves a commitment to serving “the public with specialized knowledgeand skills through commitment to the field’s public purposes and ethical standards” [7]. Forexample, Anagnos and colleagues [8] surveyed students in two such programs and found reportedbenefits including exploration of career goals, a sense of belonging to the engineeringcommunity, and a perception that they were making a difference in the lives of others. In engineering, it may be argued that individuals from minority groups (women,individuals of color) benefit especially from professional

A thorough understanding and mastery of the design process is necessary tosolve these difficult challenges; however, one of the most critical stages of the design process,prototyping, has remained largely unstructured and unstudied. This work evaluated the impact onprototyping awareness of a guided prototyping framework. Future work will explore how PFXmay help engineering students test and iterate on designs faster and more effectively.    Finally, our work aligns with the National Science Foundation’s second strategic goal “stimulateinnovation and address societal needs through research

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].

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

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.

, it allows for the solution to viewed as something realistic,usable, and practical, resulting in greater overall success [6]. 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
