factors that students must consider when applying engineering design, including publichealth, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors. Furthermore, Student Outcome 4 addresses the ethical and professional responsibilitiesthat students must consider in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. Whilethese considerations collectively represent a wide range of potential real-world issues,differentiating between these categories can provide a difficult task, as many of these termsoverlap in meaning. Student teams often struggle to understand the difference between each ofthese contexts and it can be difficult to assess whether each context has been fully considered.No specific guidance

The courselearning outcomes (referring to skills appropriate for first-year, post-secondary students) were: 1. Students will demonstrate an understanding of the major subfields of nuclear engineering. 2. Students will demonstrate an ability to solve basic nuclear engineering problems. 3. Students will demonstrate an understanding of engineering ethics and be able to relate these concepts to real-life situations. 4.

Three keyfeatures define the approach: 1. Start with existing courses and modify them so that they explicitly pursue TL outcomes and help students develop TL traits.
