These 12 months will move us beyond action to focus on the impact of the actions we take. We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices

Thestudents produced the designs in two steps: first as small groups producing the design andpresenting to the peers and a panel of judges for critiquing and in the second rectifying theshortcomings identified from the presentations and feedback from judges. In the subsequentexamination, majority of the students performed well in the question relating to the activitiessurrounding the workshop.

Research has shown that implementing DLI inother subjects, such as history, has led to students showing greater mastery of historical thinking,increased ability to transfer historical knowledge to other contexts, and improved readingcomprehension compared to peers that did not receive DLI [5], cf. [6], [7]. Similar studies havebeen conducted in science [8].Research on disciplinary literacy suggests that use of DLI in engineering may increase students’abilities to engage in engineering thinking as well as lessen literacy-based barriers that preventwomen and underrepresented students from pursuing STEM pathways. To accomplish this goal,a robust model of DLI in engineering must be developed and disseminated into K-16 classroompractice.BackgroundThis

Afinal limitation is the passive nature of the learning process in this approach. Students engagewith these cases by writing analyses or taking tests, rather than by actively grappling with theethical dilemmas presented. This passive engagement reduces opportunities for personalreflection and the development of critical thinking skills required in the students’ future careers.In recognition of the limitations described above, educators have recommended several strategiesfor increasing student engagement in engineering ethics: Some recommend electronic bulletinboards and chat rooms, which encourage students to
