of the traditional modus operandi coined "the two solitudes": "soft" courses taught bynon-engineers on one part, and technical courses taught by engineering professors who are ill-equipped to dwelve to any meaningful depth in such topics as ethics, team work, communication,leadership, creativity, critical thinking, engineering management, etc. on the other part. Thisarticle then describes how, after an exhaustive survey of the literature, a grant from theUniversity’s Major Pedagogical Innovations Program is being used to devise ways in which thedevelopment of the interpersonal and intrapersonal competencies of engineering students will beintimately integrated throughout the whole undergraduate programs with that of the scientificand

As mentioned in the above two sections,each student uses his or her EC2 instance as the platform to perform the tasks in each labexercise independently outside the class hours. After finishing those tasks, each student needs to Page 25.1418.9submit a lab report to answer the questions related to the individual tasks.

Elements of this protocol were designed topromote research quality through the lens of ethical validation [16], described in this section. Weused the quality in qualitative research (Q3) framework to actively promote the validity andreliability of our work through making and handling of data [16], [17].

As a strong STEM-focused institution, Mines has a long history ofmaintaining high standards surrounding technical engineering coursework, which all DE studentsmust satisfy along with students in traditional disciplinary engineering programs. Alongside thetraditional technical engineering coursework offered by the disciplinary engineering programs,the Design Engineering program weaves our design-spine, providing an avenue for exploring thecontext of engineering design applications, with a strong focus on user experience and social,ethical, and environmental responsibility. Our program has evolved to a place where the designcoursework brings about critical transformations through a deep commitment to

inengineering education were made. These include as follows: 1. Provide more resources and training opportunities for students. This can be done by giving some examples in class so that students can understand how AI tools can be wisely used in engineering education. 2. Do not have AI take over the thinking process. Make sure that students understand that when they are using an AI tool, they should double check its accuracy. AI tools may be beneficial in many ways and may give accurate information, however, information given still needs to be double checked. 3. Promote awareness of ethical considerations. In this day of age technology changes and therefore AI will also change the way humans work. Students should be

- Incubating Student Startups in GhanaAbstractThis paper describes the Palm GreenLab and its first GreenLab Startup Weekend to encourageand support entrepreneurial student teams. Palm Institute is a 10-year-old liberal artsuniversity-college in Ghana, whose mission is to educate ethical and excellent leaders in Africa.The Palm GreenLab is an innovation and incubation lab that seeks to “unearth and supporttalents that solve wicked problems with creative ideas, and to nurture and scale the growth ofambitious entrepreneurial projects”. The GreenLab plans to provide an array of offerings andsupport for student entrepreneurship. In Fall 2022, the GreenLab ran its first Startup Weekend -a two day intensive experience in which students pitched and evaluated
projects and what strategies would be used to pursue theseanticipated projects.The study received behavioural research ethics board approval prior to contacting researchparticipants. Participants were contacted in August through messages delivered by email orsocial media to the executive teams at the twelve target groups. Messages were formatted in sucha way that they could be passed on to other group members. Participation was incentivized witha draw for $20 gift cards with one of these gift cards drawn for every 5 participants.Results and DiscussionOverall 12 complete responses were received. 17 partial responses were also received with manyof these partial responses ending at question 5 corresponding to whether they had been involvedin CEL

Course Learning OutcomesThe capstone senior inter-disciplinary course is offered as a two-course sequence culminating theundergraduate engineering education. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor and an industrypartner mentor, students form small interdisciplinary teams to apply engineering design principlesand methods for solving and industry-relevant engineering design problem. The first course in thesequence also covers topics including the engineering ethics, the Fundamentals of Engineeringexam, and
engineering education research culture, and applications of operations research in an education context. 14th Annual First-Year Engineering Experience (FYEE) Conference: University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee Jul 30Workshop 1 – Making Patterns, Breaking Patterns – Ethnographic systems mapping and analysis ofengineering education groupsSystems thinking is an essential skill for engineers in an increasingly complex world. Engineers must beable to see beyond applied science and mathematics to the social, political, economic, ethical,environmental, and even interpersonal forces acting on any problem in order to arrive at optimalsolutions.

Generally, thestudents have enhanced their communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. Moststudents indicated that the program helped them critically review problems and communicateeffectively in multidisciplinary teams. Additionally, the clients expressed satisfaction with thestudents’ work ethics and the quality of project deliverables. Thus, the program offers studentsan experiential learning opportunity to enhance their entrepreneurial and problem-solving skillswhile providing value for community partners through transdisciplinary

Due to this rapidlydeveloping field, there is a need to track these trends and incorporate the corresponding developments intoour current science and engineering curriculum. Besides data science skills already taught in traditionalengineering curricula, such as mathematical, computational, and statistical foundations, the NationalAcademies guide discusses that key concepts in developing data acumen include domain-specificconsiderations and ethical problem-solving.

Workers hired after thenew scheme was implemented were on average 28% more productive than the ones hired in theold regime.Experimentation is an effort that requires collaboration among Science, Product, andEngineering teams which means it is typically multi-disciplinary in nature. Experiments typicallyhave three phases: the pre-experiment planning, the implementation and monitoring, and thepost-experiment analysis. During the pre-experiment planning, Science, Product, andEngineering work together to translate the business problem at hand into testable hypothesis,make ethical and legal considerations and submit the research proposal for review if applicable,define the details of the intervention, design the randomization, define
approaches and ethics, leadership styles, and social and political issues.Students developed mutual respect and appreciation for different cultures byunderstanding the differences and identifying some deep-rooted similarities in cultures and socialbehaviors. Being international graduate students, they learned professional social etiquettesfollowed in United States and how to build professional relationships with professionals from othercultures. By working in culturally diverse teams for semester-long projects, the graduate studentslearned some critical professional skills such as effective communication, project management,leadership, and critical thinking. For example, one of the graduate students learned to apply criticalthinking to provide

Among them, the ethical culture of Confucianism constitutes the core oftraditional culture and is an important pillar of life and spiritual order. For example,Confucianism advocates “exercising benevolence”. The cultural intension of this kind ofbenevolence is manifested in the spirit of practicing, caring about society, and activelyjoining the society (ru shi). The Taoist thought advocates “inaction” or “do-nothingness” (wuwei) to express the heart of salvation. Among them, the dialectic thought that “being andnot-being grow out of one another” (you wu xiang sheng) in Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching hasimportant implications for entrepreneurial activities, such as starting a business from nothing

They [23] explain how that disrupts the“technical/social dualism in engineering” which eventually leads to the complications of thestudents’ understanding of “what it means to be an engineer, what engineers do, and whatconstitutes engineering knowledge and expertise”. Niles et al [23, p.6] further explain howthis “created difficulties for students as they contended with conflicting conceptions ofengineering knowledge and practice”.Moreover, the findings of Niles et al [23], along with others that describe how

creates moreawareness in human oriented engineering design and manufacturing but also adds a novel dimension inthe personal and professional life of any engineering practitioner. In other professional schools, such asin Law and Medical schools, more emphasis is given on the socio-cultural aspects of the profession.Similarly, medical ethics and legal ethics are compulsory courses in their curricula. In engineering curricula,however, a full compulsory course on engineering ethics is not offered to the undergraduate students.For this reason, during the exams for the engineering license (Professional Engineer or PE license) therecent graduates do not perform well in the areas of engineering ethics and aesthetics. Inclusion of art and aesthetics adds
tech companies widely panned for employing “offending”algorithms in its employment practices [4] – founder Jeff Bezos requires his executives tocommunicate via long narrative memos, not PowerPoint bullets [5].)Narrative has been the predominant mode for conveying the human condition throughout history.Perhaps it is time for engineering curricula to compliment ethics and communication training withsome exposure to narrative and story-telling, so that graduates will know how to imagine, look for,and communicate about the impact of rapid technology deployment on individual lives. This is notan entirely new concept; humanitarian engineering and “appropriate technology” initiatives attemptto comprehend and address needs and injustices for the
class, the course objectives havethe effect of doing just that.Empathy involves taking the perspective of others or placing oneself in the role of someone else.Empathy developed through this “role-taking” can lead to more efficient communication [8]. Infact, stakeholder-focused communications employ two of the three aspects of empathy:perspective taking and empathetic concern [9], [10]. When communications are developed tofocus on the content and delivery needs of the person receiving a message, this change inperspective sets the stage for more ethical communication and stakeholder involvement indecision-making [11]. The combination of positive attitudes toward communication andempathy is encouraged in the education of future physicians, to

Faculty are often helping student develop asengineers, which is a process that is not reserved for the senior design courses. In many cases,faculty could contribute more strongly to the ABET continuous improvement cycle. In some cases,they may need to just document what they currently do in a course or
