in engineering andcomputer science courses. Written solutions document students’ thought processes, but theremay be other thinking and reasoning that the instructor cannot observe from a solution alone.The pedagogical technique reported in this paper is the use of video reflections of solutions toexam problems. Students created one short video explanation of their solution to a randomlyassigned exam problem for each exam. The educational objectives for the video included: 1)encourage reflection and meta-cognition about the creation and testing of a solution, 2) practiceoral communication of technical process.From 2021 to 2023, students in three different computer science courses took exams and createdvideo recordings of their solutions.

These studies raise awareness ofprofessional, social and cultural differences among countries. Students recognize globalchallenges to the engineering profession when they discover that another country faces similartechnical, social, cultural and resource-limiting challenges. They also learn that solutions tosimilar challenges in the U.S. may, or may not, be suitable in another country. Reflection is oneway to for students to derive

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of this course overthree years in two areas: (1) fostering interest in civil engineering among high school students,motivating more students to pursue this path in college, and (2) training graduate students (futureengineering educators) on best practices for student engagement, knowledge transfer, and coursedesign. Many data sources are reviewed for this study, including student artifacts, instructorlessons, and pre-and post- course reflections. These longitudinal data include the period impactedby COVID-19.

Curricula have tended to take an applied and case-based approach,where professional engineering codes and/or philosophical ethical theories are introduced, whichare then used to resolve questions that arise in cases concerning engineering and technology [4],[5]. In recent years, however, there has been a proliferation of novel approaches, as well asdisagreement concerning the form engineering ethics education should take, and criteria fordetermining what would count as success [1], [5]–[7]. In part, this confusion stems fromdisagreements about the goals of ethics

the results should not be overly generalized due to thesmall number of teachers interviewed, the results indicate that many entering college studentsmay already be somewhat familiar with the importance of EESI in engineering. In addition, thefindings dovetail with recent attention on the preparation of K-12 teachers to educate students onengineering [21], indicating that teachers should be aware of the important role of ethics inengineering.AcknowledgmentsThis study was funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1540348.
