in common models of learning.A Critique of Outcomes-Based EducationThe above offers several possible critiques of outcomes-based education. In the spirit ofHabermas’ discourse ethics, the point is not to assert outcomes are bad per se, but rather torecognize that the limitations of a system that has become extremely prevalent in education areoften ignored. For example, when ABET adopted outcomes-based evaluation with EC-2000 thefocus become on continual quality improvement. This framework was well understood byengineers and thus readily accessible to engineering educators. In this case the quality that isbeing improved in the ABET process are the defined student learning outcomes that eachprogram is responsible for assessing and evaluating

However, using only an emergent approach to coding would haveobscured the topical inadequacies of our modules. Therefore, we conducted a literature reviewon the most common categorization of data science concepts and techniques. Despite theevolving nature of data science as an academic discipline, we found general trends of datascience concepts and techniques common across disciplines. These general trends werecategorized into six broad categories: (1) data acquisition, (2) data quality issues, (3) data useand visualization, (4) machine learning, (5) data ethics, privacy, and security, and (6)miscellaneous.

This is concerning since few (if any) of the definitionsfor computational thinking mention anything vaguely sociopolitical, such as ethics, social justice,cultural competency [7], or global competency [8].1 Even though computational thinkers areexpected to shift between varying levels of abstraction [10], the omissions imply thatsociopolitical concerns are auxiliary to thinking computationally and, potentially, to being acomputer scientist. If computational thinking is as central to computing pedagogy as researcherssuggest, then there should be concern that the assimilation of students into

Somehave argued that this kind of curriculum not only fails to foster creativity, it actually stiflesingenuity1, inhibiting innovation to solve the world’s greatest problemsWe sought to reverse this negative association between creativity and engineering education bymotivating a large engineering class with a combination of Ethic of Care2,3,4 andentrepreneurship. Ethic of Care is a concept grounded on value-guided practices to meet theneeds of those receiving the care, within a framework of justice and rights5.

Based on an intensive literature review, Sadler [6]concluded that it is hard to assess the quality of student argumentation only by logical reasoningbecause in SSI contexts, everyday life experiences, moral and ethical beliefs, values, and cultureaffect students’ argumentation practices. Duschl also points out that student argumentation in SSIis a reasoning strategy that involves the general reasoning domain of informal logic as well ascritical thinking [10].In most recent research concerning argumentation, Toulmin’s model [14] was adopted as a usefultool to understand logical reasoning of argumentation.

ethics emphasize theresponsibility of engineers to consider the “safety, health, and welfare of the public” [2,3].Regulations, standards, laboratory practices, etc. reflect the importance of safety in engineeringwork. Also, the negative consequences associated with safety-related failures such as accidentsand product defects make such issues a priority for industry. Creating a safety culture isdifficult. It involves the performance of proper actions and the avoidance of improper actions.Any definition of safety must specify what is considered proper, what is considered improper,and what is an acceptable degree of risk.In engineering education, practical safety concerns are necessarily part of laboratory courses andsafety concepts are often

contradictions that arise in students’education surrounding ethics, including how engineering instructors often allude to theimportance of ethics in engineering practice but then avoid explicit discussion of ethical mattersthat arise in the context of students’ coursework. This type of contradiction served as a catalystfor our thinking about some of the other ways in which engineering students receive and copewith conflicting messaging across their educational experience, especially where implicitpractices regularly contravene explicit messages. As with the hidden curriculum scholarship inengineering education generally, we are interested in how implicit messaging undermines effortsto create more inclusive, more authentic educational experiences

The facultyinterviewed believed that teaching social justice topics was insufficient in their programs,although no broad consensus exists on what level would be sufficient.In general, the literature demonstrate that two primary approaches have been used to integratesocial justice into the engineering curricula: one approach dedicates a single course that focuseson teaching engineering ethics
