information, it seems that holding a rosy outlook onthe future of ethics in engineering is quite reasonable.However, we must temper such optimism with an awareness that the ethical issues posed by thescientific and technological advances of the 21st century are more pressing, more complex, andmore immediate than in any previous era. As technology grows more and more embedded inevery aspect of daily life, the need for future engineers to understand their role—andresponsibility—in shaping society exponentially expands. The necessity for a “criticalawareness of the way technology affects society and the way social forces in turn affect theevolution of technology” has never been greater [5]. In other words, efforts must be redoublednot only to expand the

visionary technologies.Science fiction short stories provide a way to merge disciplinary content with the mainstays ofethics education such as stakeholder identification and analysis using differing frameworks.Science fiction has been used in non-technical courses to try to stimulate interest or appreciationfor engineering [11, 12]. These courses often focus on the technology rather than the use oftechnology. However, in recent years, professors have begun to experiment with science fictionshort stories as vehicles for teaching disciplinary ethics (e.g. [13, 14, 15, 16, 17]). The followingsections give a practical, hands-on guide for how an instructor might use a science fiction shortstory to incorporate ethics into a content-driven
biofuel education in engineering. To help bridge this gap, we have been creatingeducational materials that systematically integrate biofuels technology into undergraduatechemical engineering curriculum. The modular approach we proposed aims to address some ofthe major obstacles of introducing biofuel education into chemical engineering curricula.1 IntroductionIt has been argued that advanced biofuel industry will have significant impact on U.S. economicrecovery and its transition to a sustainable green economy. The U.S. National Academies haveidentified renewable energy as a national scientific strategy aimed at replacing the oil-basedrefinery and transitioning to a green economy. 1 In addition, as shown in a 2009 BiotechnologyIndustry
research paper is to explore advantages and disadvantages of conducting anengineering experience for blind and low vision (BLV) participants in a virtual/onlineenvironment. This experience was designed to expose BLV high school students to engineeringcontent and enhance their spatial ability. Spatial ability is an intelligence generally defined as theability to generate, retain, retrieve, and transform well-structured visual images [1] and isparticularly important to fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). A varietyof spatial ability constructs have been identified, a few of which include mental rotation, spatialorientation, and spatial visualization [2], [3]. This paper refers to spatial ability as aquantification of
of the sensing technologies include small molecule, DNA, pro- tein, and whole cell detection to address changing climate in point-of-care technologies and medicine. On the activation side of our research, we are fabricating nitinol staggered muscle arrays that mimic skeletal muscle and we have recently demonstrated over 30% compression in our SMA’s similar to muscle bun- dles. Our approach to design is simple, following FDA guidelines and suggestions from the start, look at what the user needs and/or wants and apply a unique solution. We have a well-diversified group to tackle the challenges in health care today, staff and students come from biomedical engineering, electrical engi- neering, mechanical engineering
, Persistence, and Interest in Civil EngineeringAbstractExposing pre-college students to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)activities and undergraduate college students to service learning have both been linked toincreased interest and participation in STEM careers. This study investigates the use of theWriting Partners program as an intervention to increase college students’ intentions to persist inthe major and increase K-12 students’ awareness and understanding of engineering. The WritingPartners (WP) program consists of college students exchanging letters with a local 5th or 6thgrade student twice over the course of a semester, culminating in a campus visit for theelementary students.

The mostcommon form for capstones in engineering are team based, some of which are single disciplinewhile others are multi-disciplinary. Literature on capstone studies have documented how toformulate teams, team group dynamics, and team peer surveys. Given new technologyadvancements, an area for continued study are strategies for how to have student teamscommunicate, collaborate and manage their designs with technology.

The impact of engineering work,including energy systems, extends well beyond the immediate use of technology into the socialinstitutions, distribution of resources, culture, health, and environment. The breadth of desiredengineer competencies reveal the social, cultural, and political dimensions of an engineer’sprofessional practice, despite the predominant perception of engineers as technical experts meetingbusiness needs [3]–[5]. Even as the need increases for collaboration across disciplines, no longercan the technology experts be ‘disconnected from the civil society’ [6].The critical theory perspective and systems paradigm
