,discoveries, and products is crucial for ethical practice. It contends that listening canfacilitate transformational engagement between engineers and the public by a)challenging stereotypes on both sides, b) foregrounding the technical and ethicalrelevance of diverse knowledges, c) exposing relationships of structural inequality thatprivilege technical expertise, and d) replacing such relationships with partnerships oftrust that generate meaningful and effective solutions.Transformational listening lies at the heart of a graduate engineering ethics course atVirginia Tech and future online teaching modules, funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). The goal is for students to experience the cognitive leap thatethnographic research methods can

Educators such as Bird and Sieber (2005) suggest that there are a number of reasons thatcan justify the teaching ethics to undergraduate (UG) engineering students and argue that thefollowing are the key reasons for necessity of teaching ethics at UG level: (a) many public policydecisions are based on scientific reasoning and findings; (b) engineers are also part of societyand they work to improve the lives of human beings; and (c) there could be huge personalinterest and “conflicting professional interests” in a number of projects in which an engineer isinvolved.

Template and Scoring VIThe leader robot is also programmed inside a template, as shown in the Figure 3. This templatealso includes the scoring measurement of the total radians of movement of the leader robot. Thefinal score is calculated by multiplying the radians of movement by the percentage of the timethe follower was over the silver tape. This final scoring metric determines the amount ofmovement where the robots were “synchronized” (within the desired range of distance of eachother).Figure 3: Phase 1 Leader Robot Template and Scoring VI B. Competition RulesThe robots have 30 seconds to build up their score by traveling back and forth across a roundblack panel that has an approximate diameter of 4’ with 2” white ring around the outside

Page 24.375.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Designing a Stage of “Romance” for Programs in Technological Literacy.AbstractIn previous paper in these proceedings* it was argued (a) that a liberal education that takes no account ofengineering and technological literacy cannot be by definition liberal, and (b) that programs of engineering andtechnological literacy can be designed to bridge the academic-vocational divide inherent in reports such as thatundertaken for the National Governors Association. In support of this argument a model curriculum based on theepistemologies of Macmurray and Newman was presented. It was necessarily integrated and trans-disciplinary, andit was argued that it

However, it will be more durable. c. Filling the fire hose with sand/dirt. This option, while it would be more dynamic than cement, would have trouble regaining its shape.
