In additionto moral theories and cases, we introduce concepts and ideas about the impulse towardstechnological design, discrimination, capitalism, sustainability, governments and democracy,participatory design, and social justice. This paper will provide examples of how we carefullydesigned a course that systematically and progressively paired complex ethical theories andconcepts with current technological questions and social realities. We believe the basic structureof this course provides students with a framework for integrating knowledge from liberal

precollege engineering education is to promote the viability ofengineering as a potential occupation, and there are myriad of programs, both formal andinformal, that are engaged in this endeavor (e.g. incorporation of engineering into statestandards, marketing campaigns such as Changing the Conversation, engineering outreachevents, etc.). Each program has different foci, but oftentimes the same goal – how do we getmore students to consider engineering? Many programs evaluate engagement, formation ofengineering identity and even persistence. However, the number of students completing degreesin engineering has seen limited growth, despite this national push.1 How then do we broadenparticipation in engineering? While it would be impossible to map all

Printing to Enhance Learning in Undergraduate Kinematic and Dynamic of Machinery CourseAbstractThis paper presents the application of 3D printing to enhance the learning of undergraduatestudents about the mechanisms (linkage, Cam-Follower) on Kinematic and Dynamic ofMachinery course. In this course, students will learn how a mechanical mechanism, includinglinkage and cam-follower mechanism, is working. They will learn how to analyze a mechanismor synthesis of a mechanism to provide a specified task. To enhance their understanding aboutthe mechanism, the project was designed by the instructor for this course. The project has threephases. On phase I, each group, consisting of 4 to 5 students, should select a mechanism todesign. They design the
