AB  - Engineering Laboratory courses are used to teach many of the core professional development competencies that are required of engineering graduates. Technical communication, ethical reasoning, and critical thinking are examples of these professional skills that are valued across all disciplines. Safety is another core competency that is highly regarded by industries (e.g. petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, aeronautical) that hire from a variety of engineering disciplines.  Thus, coordinating safety instruction between disciplines is a worthwhile endeavor to improve students’ preparation for the workforce.   This work-in-progress paper will discuss the transfer of safety pedagogy from a Chemical Engineering undergraduate laboratory to a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate laboratory. The engineering laboratory provides an excellent environment for safety instruction because it enables hands-on application of the concepts and can be used to simulate industrial practice. First, we will discuss the results of a baseline safety culture survey that provides information about commonalities in student perceptions about safety between the disciplines. Second, we will discuss the challenges and benefits of sharing pedagogy between the disciplines, highlighting our efforts to contextualize content within the disciplines. Finally, we will comment on the integration of professional development training within the engineering laboratory and how it ensures that students practice expected professional behavior rather than simply learn about professional standards.
