Area of Science:

  • Engineering Education
  • Ethics in Engineering

Background:

  • Engineering curricula often lack sufficient content on professional responsibility and the social context of engineering.
  • A key challenge is the scarcity of adaptable teaching materials for integration into existing courses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Professional Responsibility Modules for Engineering (PRiME) web-based resources.
  • To describe the development and pilot testing of these modules within undergraduate engineering courses.
  • To outline the assessment process and subsequent revisions based on pilot results.

Main Methods:

  • Development of four web-based modules aligned with How People Learn (HPL) theory.
  • Pilot implementation of modules during the 2004-2005 academic year.
  • Assessment of module effectiveness and student engagement.

Main Results:

  • The PRiME project demonstrated significant progress in its first year of development and testing.
  • Initial assessments provided data for module revision and refinement.
  • The modules show potential for effectively engaging students in learning professional responsibility.

Conclusions:

  • The PRiME Project offers a viable solution for incorporating professional responsibility into engineering education.
  • Web-based modules provide a flexible and effective system for faculty to use.
  • Continued development and revision will enhance the impact of PRiME on engineering education.
