To be ready to enter the workforce upon graduation, today’s engineering studentsare expected to develop the skills and knowledge that are fundamental to engineering careers in theirundergraduate years. The Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) has determinedthat fundamental skills include social skills, such as how to communicate effectively or function inmultidisciplinary teams, as well as proven technical skills, such as an ability to apply knowledge of math,science, and engineering [6], [18].

Decision biases are systematicand predictable errors in judgment that can negatively impact engineering decision making.Decision biases are especially prevalent in complex and ill-structured problems involvinguncertainty and risk [4], the very types of problems and decisions that civil engineering studentswill face in their careers. For example, planning fallacy and optimism bias explain the highfrequency of cost overruns and benefit shortfalls [5]. Decisions tend to be biased toward known,traditional solutions (status quo bias) and focus on present costs and benefits (cognitive myopia)rather than life-cycle or long-term sustainability [6]. Status quo bias also appears in engineeringdecision-making processes through procedures

This classintentionally does not introduce the different engineering disciplines explicitly, but rather focuseson teaching skills that engineers use and encourages students to both document and reflect onthose skills. The engineering disciplines do, however, appear in the course through a series ofvideos which are called “Day in the Life” videos. In these videos students hear from industryprofessionals and upper division engineering students about how the weekly topic is currentlybeing applied within their projects and/or careers. Each unit consists of videos, readings,tutorials, discussion boards, and/or simulations which teach the students new concepts, and guidetheir practice in applying the skills being taught. Each

For undergraduates,this is professional ethics in an industrial or consulting context.1 For graduate students, whosetraining is preparation for a career in research, this is typically research ethics, implicitly in anacademic context.2 Thus, both construe the responsibilities of the engineer relatively narrowly.In particular, the concerns of each taper dramatically as the borders of the immediate work siteare crossed.
