Ethical Reasoning Process (CAER) Workshops [40], students appliedanticipatory ethical reasoning using two of the eight key ethical questions, which are organizedby topics such as empathy, fairness, responsibility, character, outcomes, and others [41]. TheCAER approach differs from the way in which engineering students traditionally engage withtraditional professional ethics based on industry standards, honest reporting of data, cost benefittradeoffs, and analysis of case studies when standards or professional codes of practice wereviolated [39].From the above-described body of literature about work-based forms of experiential learning,self-efficacy, STIR, and anticipatory ethical reasoning, a new conceptual framework forSocioTechnical Learning

In conclusion,while this AI has undeniable advantages in assisting students in computer classes, dependence onChat GPT has a significant impact on the development of critical thinking skills, which mayrequire a supplemental approach to its use in computer learning, with a carefully selectedquestion to

Furthermore, the curriculum focused on my decentering westernization, facilitatingcritical thought about engineering ethics and how race and class issues intertwine withthermodynamics, dismantling false notions of objectivity in engineering, and exploring historicaland philosophical dimensions of thermodynamics [14].

The lack of acknowledging emotions, much less the pervasive ways that unchecked emotionsdominate our ability to both learn and teach, is unfortunate at best because “it is hard to

In this study, students explored a hydraulicfracturing micro-insertion in three different courses. They found that facilitating self-guidedand/or collaborative learning, exploring engineering in the societal context, and creating acomfortable environment were important to students.

For example, one study [13] demonstrated theeffectiveness of integrating teamwork and soft skill-focused workshops into a manufacturingsystems course. These students showed improved team performance after going through a “softskills” workshop. Another study investigated “soft-skill” focused single class sessions withinengineering courses and found an increased ability for students to utilize soft skills [14]. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2022 2022 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceRooted in

alerting the committee to additional challenges: • Students are hindered by not having a strong knowledge of computer programming before entering their upper level courses. • Engineering Ethics is typically a senior-year course taken while students are focused on their job search and is administered via the Philosophy department. As seniors, students apply their efforts to courses in their field of study and explore employment opportunities; thus, there is concern that integration of engineering ethics into student psyches is not occurring effectively.“The committee came forward in March 2017 with recommendations, which were immediatelyfast-tracked to support a fall 2018 rollout: • The first semester
