creative critical ideas to develop. Wemaintained rigorous expectations for students while demanding the out of the box thinking thatinnovations require. Developing comfort with discomfort, working collaboratively with peoplefrom other disciplines, and attaining agency through their individual talents and skills were allarenas where we saw significant student growth, particularly articulated in the Final Projectpresentations. Students also expressed gratification at the opportunity to work acrossdisciplines, learn from each other, and even share strengths with each other. For many it wasthe only class that held space for that experience in their University career. While timeconsuming to plan, the rewards for students and faculty are worthwhile

As one student stated: “It provided a realistic scenario similar to a problem which could be encountered on the job.”Other students explained how the real world example helped them “to learn the material better”: “By working on a real life problem with [company name] Superchargers, it allowed me to see real world problems and how we can solve them with dynamics.”One student stated that the experience helped them to value what they are learning in class: “It was nice to get a taste of what real world problems are like. Because it helps me see the value of what I am, or should be learning.”Open-endednessStudents expressed both excitement and frustration

The first phase, led by a multidisciplinary team of university faculty,career scientists, staff, and supported by students, saw the implementation of a year-roundbiodiesel generation capability [7]. The project’s rationale stemmed from the institution’s sizeableagricultural operations (UMES is an 1890 land grant institution) which were undertaken by heavymachinery operating on copious amounts of traditional diesel fuel (Figure 1). Biodiesel, on theother hand, is a renewable alternative which can be produced by virgin oils extracted from oilseeds, or used oils, such as the waste oils from the university’s cafeteria.

curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case. To understand the discrepancy in engineering ethics coverage, thiswork focuses on some of the central actors in course content decisions – engineering departmentfaculty members

At the same time,interest in engineering at the undergraduate level is often fostered through childhoodparticipation in engineering activities. Some argue that by the time children reach middle school,their interests and perceptions towards their future careers are established [3]. Therefore, whenchildren lack access to opportunities to learn about engineering in pre-college settings, thisresults in limited understanding about engineering and

More recentlyattention has shifted to the national level by integrating engineering design into the NextGeneration Science Standards (NGSS) at the same level as scientific inquiry. The NRC notesthat the insight and interest students gain
