AB  - This project's goal is to improve critical thinking in undergraduate engineering students through a new educational intervention aimed at enhancing ethics and professional responsibility. Developing an understanding of how engineering students perceive the broader impacts of their chosen profession, especially as articulated through the lens of ethics and professional responsibility, is an important first step in addressing professional formation. The current model of engineering education, focused primarily on technical proficiency, leaves little room for the structured and integrated exploration of these broader impacts.  The intervention that was evaluated in this study involved student-group discussions that were centered around professionally produced narratives in an audio format.  Students were required to listen to the narrative, respond to focus questions, engage with their peers' responses to the questions and then reflect on the experience.  After completing this assignment for three narratives, students (N=45) participated in a separate discussion involving the ethical issues and broader impacts of engineering work that they encountered while working on their senior design projects.  The same exercise was exercise was completed by a comparison group (N=49) that was not exposed to the intervention. Our results indicate that exposure to the critical narrative intervention did enhance students' abilities to identify ethical issues and broader impacts of engineering work (p<.05).
