ethical skills to make decisions that affect the overall welfareof the public [1]. Historically, ethics education has not been implemented into engineeringcurriculum, but recently, there has been a greater emphasis on including ethics education intostandard engineering curriculum [2]. Many argue that engineers need to not only have the skillsto handle technological issues, but also humanistic and social issues as well. While some formsof engineering ethics education have already been implemented, there have been some systemicbarriers, such as disengagement in course material, that cause ethics education to be superficiallyeffective [2]. This brings into question whether ethics education truly improves a student’s moralintuitions, and how ethics

Topics fall under categories of communication, design, global interest,engineering profession, professional skills, math skills, academic success, and engineeringspecific technology and tools. We extend upon this work, with the goal of identifying what iscurrently being taught in such courses. Importantly, although our work extends the conversation,it does not directly address what should be taught in introductory engineering courses.We used syllabi from introductory engineering courses across the US to help understand thelandscape of such courses. A syllabus is a document that (ideally) outlines, at a high level,expectations for the course, including learning outcomes, methods of assessment, and coursepolicies [5]. While

The correlation between cloud-basedtechnologies and Bloom’s Taxonomy based learning objectives has been investigated. Althoughtheir research focuses on a broader scope of higher education, their insights are relevant inengineering discipline. Particularly, the interplay between the observable factors and latentfactors that influence the adoption of cloud based technologies is highlighted in insightfulmanner.

engineering marvels in Africaand South America. The White dominant perspective, or dominant social paradigm (DSP), istypically characterized as a world view in which humans subdue or conquer the natural world inorder to support technological progress [5]. This paradigm is so embedded in engineering that itis considered the norm, hence, we need an understanding of how other worldviews can also beincorporated in engineering. Since worldviews are often influenced by individuals’ homecultures [6], conflict and marginalization can particularly occur when a student’s worldviewdiffers from the anthropocentric worldview that dominates White cultures – includingengineering education. A person’s worldview has been defined as “the perspective, or thinking,or

Ten of the studies hadcorrelational or quasi-experimental designs, and one had an experimental design withrandom assignment to a bridge program or a control group. Seven of the studiesshowed positive results for students who participated in a bridge program, two showedmixed results, one showed negative results, and one showed no effect. A subset of summer bridge programs focus on underrepresented studentsintending to major in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM). The impetusfor those bridge programs is to address the problem of low numbers of raciallyunderrepresented individuals in STEM fields. The problem was described as “urgent” bythe Committee

What follows is a largely oral history gathered and consoli-dated from UGA engineering faculty members, all of whom wish to remain anonymous.By the late 1800’s, the state of Georgia had two engineering colleges, UGA and the Georgia In-stitute of Technology (hereafter known as Georgia Tech). UGA graduated its first engineeringstudents in 1868. However, during the Depression in the 1930’s, the state determined it could notafford to fund two engineering colleges and decided to focus the engineering program at

undoubtedlycapturing students’ interest, they were also shifting focus away from the more-importantengineering-relevant learning goals in the academy. An administrator addressed this issue, notingthat because project-based learning had been trickling down to the lower grades of the schooldistrict, courses needed to shift their emphases to improve students’ skill-sets. She stated, “Nowit’s really about, okay, what technical skills – math, science, technology – do you need to be ableto truly access engineering at a higher level. . . . Because if we just keep having kids build stuff,well they’re done, they got that. I mean after fifth grade, they’ve got that
