, Doane UniversityAbstract:Measuring the ethical reasoning of engineering students, despite its importance to the professionand accreditation requirements, remains a challenge for many undergraduate programs.Incorporation of standardized instruments into program assessment is considered advantageousdue to their reliability, validity, and ease of implementation. The well-established Defining IssuesTest (DIT2) is one such instrument with generalized moral dilemmas applicable to all, whereas thesimilarly structured Engineering Ethical Reasoning Instrument (EERI) provides discipline-relevant scenarios to specifically probe the ethical understanding of engineers. Using a pre/post-intervention methodology, both tests were administered in a semester

Theseexams were administered using a paper hard copy during a 50-minute lecture period and weretypically closed book and closed note. When the pandemic struck in Spring 2020, by necessityall exams were converted to an online format and administered in Canvas, the LMS used at PennState. With this change of format

remotely measurethe 3D position of the robotic arm located in university labs. This 3D feedback was then used tomodify the instructions sent by the remote students to the robot. The projects were delivered to115 first-year engineering students in nine LAB sections: three in-person-only, three remote-only, and three mixed. Performance of each method was quantitatively assessed based on exitsurvey results, and scores from various student populations were compared using two-sample t-tests. The results suggest that using mail-out kits achieved similar student satisfaction levelsregardless of the class format (means of 4.10 to 4.65 out of 5), but the method needed a lot oftime and tedious labor. Connecting remotely to the lab and using depth cameras
