While the focus of the class is on pedagogy, the goal is forstudents to find the experience useful regardless of whether they are going into academia,industry, a research laboratory, or other career pursuits. In addition to issues dealing withteaching engineering, sessions are organized for career planning, success in both academia andindustry, ethics, and basic counseling and mentoring skills. This paper is a study of theeffectiveness of the Teaching Practicum experience. Survey responses are analyzed from nearly100 Ph.D. alumni for the period from the summer of 1996 to the spring of 2009.

Anexposure to RC guidelines and its implementation can help chemical engineering students tobecome more marketable and get a head start with their careers.It is important to prepare chemical engineering graduates who will grow to become goodcorporate citizens. Recent industrial disasters (such as Deepwater Horizon spill, Imperial SugarRefinery explosion, Alumia plant accident in Hungary, etc.) have all pointed to a breach in RCand the possibility of engineering personnel’s involvement in making the wrong decisions cannotbe ignored.

There are many concrete ways in which these ideas can be applied:• Teach the history of the field.• Find role models. Tried and true, maybe even trite, but it is an important element for improving and diversifying the image of engineers.• Create units on ethical, environmental, social constraints on engineering design. Don’t be afraid to discuss the ethical/political ramifications of major advances in the sciences and technology.• Set problem solving in a meaningful and complete context.

AI tools are also highly dependent on the phrasing of the prompts, potentiallyleading to suggestions that stifle creativity or misinterpret students' intentions. AI-generated textis unable to capture the nuance, context, and subjective nature of writing, making the AI responseshave a voice distinctive from the voice of the individual.

In this paper, we will discuss how a few simpledesign challenges have been used in three capstone design courses to practice and applyengineering design principles and problem solving skills. These challenges are relativelyinexpensive to implement and could be done in teams or individually. The competitive aspectsof the challenges can further motivate students. The design challenge goals can be tailored tofocus on specific aspects of design practice or skills, such as

That is, why is it easy forengineers to have their perspectives so narrowed that important aspects of design problems areoverlooked? Dams that disrupt the ecological balance of a region, VCRs that are too difficult forthe average person to program, and the addressing of age old medical problems with geneticengineering solutions that raise even greater ethical problems are just three kinds of designfailures that result from what has been called the narrowness tendency in design (Van Poolen,1987, p. 785
