©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 Analyzing the impact of a crowdsourced toolkit for embedding ethics in the engineering curriculum (Work in Progress Paper)AbstractIntegrating ethics in engineering education has now become a recurring item at engineeringeducational forums and discussions and is still growing in urgency. It is now no longer aquestion of whether ethics should be integral to curriculum design but how, who, what andwhy. How can it be incorporated? Who should be teaching ethics? What should we beteaching? And, more fundamentally, why are we teaching what we teach? The aim of thispaper is to present how an internationally curated open source ‘Engineering Ethics

Finally, in order to assess the students’ learning an electronic portfolio wascompleted that contained writing activities and projects. The electronic portfolioassignments were piloted to assess the students’ understanding of the impact of thetechnology on the field of biotechnology, encourage the students to develop critical andcreative thinking skills by integrating and applying knowledge from the lecture andlaboratory activities. In summary, the goal of the activities developed for the portfoliowas to provide the experiences that would enable the students to

By taking on and playing the persona of a role, learnerswere led to reflect on the material from the perspective of personal experience and identity. Thisdeep reflection was enhanced by being able to act out possibilities in a safe and collaborativeenvironment. In addition, learners were absorbed in situations and contexts that highlight thelearning outcomes and objectives of the engineering units of study.The project was carried out over two semesters in 2006 and was evaluated by student feedbackquestionnaires to determine whether the role playing platform had

Considering this lack of research and integration, ourresearch team developed curriculum materials for integrating engineering design where theexisting units of the life sciences curriculum were modified to center around a design challengeand incorporate engineering design principles. The study used teaching science and engineeringin an integrated manner to subsequently explore students’ learning outcomes and engagement(behavioral, emotional, cognitive and social). In this paper, we present the effects of thesedesigned curricula on 6th-grade students’ engagement.More specifically the study is guided by two research questions: 1) What is the relationship between the
