But moreover, we believed that senior-level students who have hadrepeated exposure to journal and conference articles have already acquired a degree of practicalexpertise in our disciplinary discourse; near the conclusion of their college education, we didn’tbelieve it appropriate or warranted to teach them writing skills from scratch. Rather, we felt thata better pedagogical approach was to help students discover and marshal their own expertise andthat of their peers. In this way we might scaffold students’ metacognitive use of their ownexperiences as readers, as

work explores engineering ethics empirically in a “developing world” context through aframework of care ethics. Care ethics, a.k.a., the ethic(s) of care, is particularly suitable for the“developing world” context because it helps draw attention to imbalances of power (e.g.,inequality, differential opportunity, and limitations on autonomy) that are often neglected byother ethical frameworks. In this work, we selected one element of care ethics (responsibility)and operationalized it in several ways: the language of responsibility; notions of paternalism; andawareness of key, influencing stakeholders. These lenses were developed and refined iterativelyby employing them in case study analyses of two design project reports written by teams

This natural preference for learning is reflected in the genericlearning pyramid that was first proposed by National Teaching Laboratory Institute at theirBethel, Maine campus in the early 1960’s and the related work have been proposed by severalother researchers [31-34]. Though rightly criticized, the pyramid provides a measure of contentretention from lectures (5%), laboratory experiments (70%), and design projects (90%). Thisdisparity in content retention was recognized by the 5th century B.C Chinese proverb, “What Ihear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.” ENDEAVOR harnesses
