In semester II, the faculty member allows for a different experience in professionalcommunication practices: a board-meeting style consensus exercise. In this scenario, studentsdetermine, through the same research process, their individual nominees for texts (one perstudent), present and justify their nomination, listen to other proposals

The expectation of theSafeChE initiative is that these real-world case studies will show students howknowledge they are obtaining in their current class can be applied to safety within afuture career in industry.

attitudestoward their diagnosis and requests for support can have a direct impact on their academicsuccess [14], [21]. In other words, when students perceive that faculty are more supportive andopen to discussing their learning needs, these students are more likely to succeed academically.To address this need, I-Course instructors provide an inclusion statement that directly addressesneurodiversity, acknowledges strengths and challenges, and invites students to communicatewith the instructor about these strengths and challenges. The statement may be provided orally,in writing as part of the syllabus, or in both formats. Rather than simply provide a standardstatement, faculty are encouraged to personalize this statement.

It is the small daily ethicalchoices that an engineer makes that could determine profit, credibility, safety, reliability, andprofessional integrity. The moments where an engineer has to allow personal ethics (get him outof the hole) to trump organizational ethics (avoid liability) is the moment we want to explore inethics training.We learned from the engineers at EngPro and Porter/Young that ethics training needs to bescaled to the worker; the same advice can be taken for undergraduate education.
