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
c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 What Factors Influence the Interest of Male and Female Students in STEM (Evaluation)IntroductionTo strengthen our innovation and economy, a focus on STEM (Science Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics) is critical [1]. In the past five years, STEM field occupationshave grown by 10.5%, while non-STEM fields have grown by only 5.2% [2]. Although morejobs are being created in STEM fields, and with the need for more innovation in STEM, there isa lack of people entering the STEM workforce after high school. Few secondary educationstudents are interested in the STEM disciplines [3].The percentage of women in STEM fields in the United States is very small with

transformation in engineering education is the development of MassiveOpen Online Courses (MOOCs) in the last dozen or more years. Researchers have explored theapplications in engineering [5], the challenges of credentials [6], and the opportunities forincreasing knowledge of entrepreneurship [7]. The challenge of retention in MOOCs has beenexplored by several researchers [8]–[10]. The slow MOOC evolution of teaching in the remotespace has been accelerated by COVID in the last year.An important paradigm shift in higher education was described by Charles Vest as the emergingmeta-university [3]. He describes how technology might change education, allowingcollaboration across different domains. In 2020 this grand experiment accelerated as thepandemic forced

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
a STEM(Science Technology Engineering and Math) related field, learn and comprehend materialat universities across the country is crucial for effective teaching. Two main approachesto teaching and learning alike are the inductive and deductive approaches. The inductiveapproach begins with making observations and taking measurements for analysis andthen arriving at the laws and theories that explains why you saw what you saw. This isthe natural learning style for students. The deductive approach begins with the laws andtheories leading to applications and is the natural way for professors to teach the material.It is obvious there is a conflict of interest between professors and students, which can actas a barrier for effective learning and
