]. 3Sucker Effect – The sucker effect is the reduction of individual efforts while working in a teamcontext owing to a perception that others are free-riding [22]. While social loafing is an outcomefocused phenomenon, the sucker effect focuses on the above mechanism. Hence, it is measuredusing an instrumental factor, an ethical factor and an equity factor. These factors wereconstructed based on the Australian Work Ethic Scale [23] and the Protestant Work Ethic Scale[24].Social Compensation - Social compensation can be described as the tendency of individuals,especially those with low interpersonal trust, to work harder in a team environment in order tocompensate for the lower performing teammates [25].

afirst-year engineering curriculum at Arizona State University. The class was a multidisciplinaryexperience with a maximum of 40 students enrolled in a section. The goal of these cards was tocover a wide variety of entrepreneurial mindset outcomes without relying on a single project.The four topics selected were engineering economics, customer awareness and stakeholders,engineering ethics, and value propositions and supporting data. Two of the four lessons weretaught as a supplement to the existing class project, but could be used either with any classproject or as stand-alone modules in classes without a project. A summary of each card isprovided below. These cards were implemented into the curriculum in the Fall 2018 semesterwith a class size

This fall-term course enrolled the first-year class of approximately 140 chemical, civil, electrical,mechanical, and general engineering students. Interdisciplinary teams worked on projects in thegeneral theme of “Engineering for Social Good.” Project topics included: designing smarter andmore resilient cities, developing therapeutic devices, designing shelter for refugees in flight, andmaking fuel from food waste. The faculty designed and led their own section’s projects whilehaving a set of common activities and deliverables with similar timelines and baseline rubrics.To build community among the students, every project team had

spent the afternoon brainstorming ideas for products. Students were encouraged todream up as many ideas as possible and ‘plaster the walls’ with ideas at this stage.After dinner, retreat participants convened for a group discussion on the ethics andresponsibility of designing products for the elderly. The pre-retreat readings wereheavily referenced as participants discussed difficult and controversial topics such associoeconomic inequity and personal versus shared responsibility in the care of theelderly. Common themes that emerged were students’ previous unawareness of theissues surrounding aging. Many students admitted to not having thought through whatthe aging process will be like for their parents or for themselves. Finally, at
global issues among other things (Kirkpatrick et al., 2011).Engineering design activities have been noted as the place to effect change (Kirkpatrick et al.,2011), since it is the ill-defined nature of design problems (Jonassen, 2000) that provide ampleopportunity to include global issues. Addressing global issues requires both technical abilitiesand social considerations. Likewise, ABET Criterion 3 outcomes a-k (ABET, 2012) calls forstudents to have much broader professional skills upon graduation. For example, engineeringgraduates shall know or be able to: design within constraints such as “economic, environmental,social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”; understand theimpacts of engineering

In some cases these images were sodominant that students at a school forced themselves to do reconciling work in order to identifythe aspects of their engineering identities that did not fit within these images.

These sitesin addition to many others had also been shared with students during the first week of the courseas sources for more current articles and information on the legal and ethical issues covered in thecourse. The cases selected by the instructor were then written up with a general history given toeach of the three teams. The first mediation case study did not have many distractors, oradditional irrelevant information, added. This was done so that students could determine the“core” issue(s) more readily. However, the information given to the three teams could

Young, Cole, and Denton argued that “Even engineers, who havetraditionally been considered experts in technology, may not have the training or experiencenecessary to think about the social, political, and ethical implications of their work and so maynot be technologically literate” (p. 15). The papers presented at the 2016 conference (7 of the12), echo this recognition. Krupczak and Mina’s “An Exercise to Promote and Assess CriticalThinking in Sociotechnical Context” (2016a) is the most full and direct expression ofengineering students as a primary audience for TEL education. Working from the premise that“less attention has been given to examining if individuals trained as engineers actually possess abroad understanding of technology and are

engineers deal with a wide variety of information at various steps of a project. Time constraints imposed on the design team as well the need for diverse information challenges design engineers. Diverse information ranges from abstract ideas in the conceptual design step to the smallest details in the detailed design, from checking patents for new ideas to avoid any infringing of existing patents and trade names. Because of this need, the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has articulated the importance of student outcomes to include “(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”, and “(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” [5] Design
