, causeslearners to appreciate the contribution of engineering in our culture, assists learners inrecognizing the ethical and moral values that engineers need to demonstrate, and aids in theteaching and learning of engineering instruction. However, NOE teaching is not an easy task,and a lack of NOE understanding also raises many issues and obstacles for science teachers toincorporate NOE in science instruction. Science teachers need training to fulfill the requirementsdescribed in the NGSS and to inform teachers about NOE aspects. To meet this goal, weprovided a professional development that focuses on NOE and the engineering design processduring summer 2017 in a southwestern research institute.

As of October 2017, the CoE’smission is as follows:“The mission of the College of Engineering is to develop team-oriented engineeringprofessionals from diverse backgrounds who are prepared to ethically apply industry-currentreal-world skills to achieve value-added solutions in a dynamic world.”During 2017, CoE successfully received an ABET re-accreditation with no interim reports for sixyears for the BSEE and BSCE undergraduate programs. During the accreditation process, oneissue ABET visitors posed a question to CoE paraphrased as: where does the
drug [Topol, 2004].Using these back stories, we created a series of scenarios along with questions. 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

inteams, and critically explore the ethics and values of their work; yet, the current curriculum ispopulated by traditional engineering courses that follow the typical formula of lectures, close-end homework problems, and exams. Pathways in and out of the program are also scarce,influenced primarily by an assortment of required courses that fill much of student check sheets.In our plan to enact change to diversify the ECE department in terms of student make-up andconcentrations to choose from, identifying critical points in the student’s trajectory towarddegree completion was made the first course of action.To adopt a frame through which we can examine the curriculum, the idea of threshold conceptsproved to be an attractive foundation for the
final project in a senior level class on global industrialmanagement. The course focuses on teaching how the practice of engineering changes in globalindustrial settings. It addresses elements such as political and regulatory constraints (import andexport tariff and quotas), foreign currencies, applicability of foreign legal systems, working inmulticultural environments, resolution of emerging ethical issues, and the impact of internationalstrategies to the practice of engineering. The course had 80 students; approximately 60 studentsmajored in Industrial Engineering and the rest of the students majored in Packaging Design,Biological Systems Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.Teams. Students were randomly assigned to twelve teams of six or

coursework,Rebecca sought to achieve the best performance in relation to others.However, in Rebecca’s view, being the “best” reflected a conscientious and unrelenting work ethic ratherthan an innate intellectual talent. Indeed, she expressed disdain when people attributed her success oraccomplishments to raw intelligence: I feel like smarts don’t really have anything to do with it. It’s just your time management, your willingness to work hard, your willingness to get your stuff done, not be lazy or give excuses. . . You know if you’re any student, I feel like those are expected of you. It’s a major, and so your job is to do your job.Thus, Rebecca’s overall expectations for herself were highly informed by comparison to the

As mentioned above, here national studies such as the NAE Grand Challenges aremore likely to serve as inspiration for local action.There is also a considerable extent to which institutions model what they do based on initiativesthat are already taking place at “peer and aspirant institutions.” Many universities in fact engagein the routine practice of assembling study teams when launching a new initiative, and theseteams are almost always welcomed at the colleges and universities that have alreadyimplemented successful programs. Academic traditions of openness appear to contribute to ageneral ethic of sharing. In addition, accreditation visits themselves serve as an importantmechanism for faculty to see what peer institutions are doing

Analytics within Brightspace also provide useful information aboutwhat is being used, and what videos are being watched, and reveal which activities areperforming better than others.The question to ask is what kind of information will contribute to improving the course, and howlearning analytics can be used to make the course more effective in future interactions(evaluating user engagement and soliciting feedback). If the feedback is intended to be used fora research paper or study, ethics approval will be required to harvest the information withinBrightspace.Possibilities for Further Course Development Perform ongoing maintenance and solicit regular feedback Design assessment tools such as mini quizzes Create additional training videos

Modeling of preclinical screening of pharmaceuticals commonly requires in-vivo techniques.Even as the in-vivo techniques are currently indispensable, they suffer from myriad limitations,e.g., low throughput, long trial periods, ethical concerns, and complications associated with cross-species result transfer and validation. As a result, in-vitro models for screening of pharmaceuticalsare gaining increasing attention to create devices with high throughputs and improve the efficiencyof preclinical trials. Nonetheless, some in-vitro models (e.g., those based on microfluidics) mayfail to replicate conditions present in the body and thus

Students can ask questions to evaluate the supply chain cases which are discussing in termsof their greenness. Where are the materials are coming from? Are they environmentally friendly?Does the company provide a tangible, credible commitment to greenness, such as sustainabilitycertification?Also, regarding the social phase of the sustainable supply chain, the human-friendly environmentand industry standard which is an important phase of sustainability is becoming

Individual and Group Assignments: In the first five weeks of the course, students were assigned individual assignments primarily based on computer aided drafting (CAD) software where each student mock up their cosmetic and functional designs. In addition to that, individual assignments on ethics, intellectual property, and professional development were assigned. From the sixth week, students worked in their project groups and the group assignment varied from fabrication of their final CAD designs to design review presentations.8. Peer interactions and Project Roles: Students mirrored real professional interactions. a. Students first worked as individuals and mocked up their ideas

These traits were dedication to engineering, strongmathematics and physics ability, detail orientation, the desire to solve problems, the ability to work withothers and strong communication skills. Students hypothesized that their peers who left engineering hadlower intrinsic motivation (for example, lower interest in the field or a lower sense of satisfaction fromtheir course work), a reduced work ethic compared to others, or were unable to meet academicexpectations imposed by themselves or their parents, peers or instructors.DiscussionOur quantitative results related to belongingness indicate that, early in the implementation of ourcurricular and

Whereas most students were positive about these strategies, afew felt the time spent discussing study skills was “patronizing,” since they were juniors incollege and had already learned to study at the community college.
