Abstract Prior research on engineering students’ understandings of ethics and social responsibility has produced mixed sometimes conflicting results. Seeking greater clarity in this area investigation, we conducted an exploratory, longitudinal study at four universities the United States to better understand how undergraduate students perceive those perceptions change over time. Undergraduate U.S. were surveyed three times: during their 1st (Fall 2015), 5th 2017), 8th semesters (Spring...
Prior research has established emerging adulthood to be a time characterized by robust identity explorations in professional and nonprofessional domains. However, extant literature provides little contextual explanations relation how these are experienced early-career professionals. This article presents idiographic findings from qualitative study that used interpretative phenomenological analysis on interviews with seven engineering students as they transitioned their respective workplaces....
Abstract Ethics and social responsibility are often viewed as key areas of concern for many engineering educators professional engineers. Thus, it is important to consider how students professionals understand navigate ethical issues, explore such perceptions abilities change over time, investigate if certain types interventions experiences (e.g., coursework, training, service activities, etc.) impact individual participants. The breadth a profession also raises questions about ethics...
This paper details the transition of one researcher in his journey from attending to methods research identifying and enacting methodology interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). In backdrop this is a larger qualitative study that employing IPA understand rich picture how engineering student become engineers, particularly by fuzzy boundaries between technical social features identity. To ground discussion paper, we draw on transcript single interview conducted with Kevin, graduating...
Abstract Amidst growing concerns about a lack of attention to ethics in engineering education and professional practice, variety formal course-based interventions informal or extracurricular programs have been created improve the social ethical commitments graduates. To supplement received as undergraduate students, professionals often also participate workplace training development activities on ethics, compliance, related topics. Despite this preparation, there is evidence suggest that...
