Teams should be diverse in every possible aspect to ensure effective material development. A deadline for submittal needs to be defined clearly. The CIT

It willemphasize student teamwork, along with greater consideration of social and economic factors,improved communication with diverse constituents, and reflection on an ethical understanding oftheir decisions and solutions. It also requires that faculty members be empowered to mirror thesevalues and skills in their instruction and mentoring. The RED grant connects professional skillsdirectly to the ability to develop and evaluate solutions within these broader contexts.In this work in progress (WIP), we review our progress towards achieving this vision including:• Establishing a foundation for a revised engineering canon that

One of usteaches a variety of ethics courses in the philosophy department. We met two years ago on ateam drawn together to design an ethics module for a course shared across several engineeringmajors. We are now in the process of piloting a full course in engineering ethics that we believewill be adopted by the university as a liberal arts course for engineering majors. This paperdescribes the approach we have pursued, often pointing out how it may be different from othersimilar courses at other

With the Erasmus+ Programme and theinitiative of ‘real problem-based teaching and learning’ a tailor-made approach would beunavoidable. Also the end-users are positive towards the pilots of tailor-made course andwhat is interesting to notice, is that tailor-made approaches are seen as an answer tocompetence development regardless of the state of the market (boom or slump) – money orno money; time or no time, tailor-made course was reflected as a possible approach forcontinuing education.The view of the suppliers (universities) were somehow a continuation or inspiration of policymakers but it is

would probably be less likely to recognize its value. These observationsby the students about their perceptions before and during the travel could in part be due to thedomestic nature of the project. They may have perceived the travel experience to be less valuablebecause of staying in the U.S. and merely traveling to another part of the country. Even so, theyall agreed that, based on what they learned upon project completion, they value the travel muchmore and would take the time in the future to meet design colleagues face-to-face and completesite visits, if funds were available.ConclusionsWe have reflected on the findings of the interviews, on their observations of learning while theprojects were under way, and observations from prior inter
