The Canadian Engineering AccreditationBoard (CEAB) requires faculties of engineering toincorporate graduate attribute 3.1.10 “ethics and equity”into their curricula. More than the CEAB requirement,engineering educators have an obligation to preparestudents for the ethical dilemmas they will inevitably facein their workplaces and their lives. Our analysis of surveydata collected during a pilot study of our ethical casestudies project examines a gap between students’perceptions about the effectiveness and importance ofengineering ethics education. While there was aconsiderable range in participants’ ratings of theeffectiveness of previous engineering ethics coursework,they consistently placed a high value on the importance ofethics in engineering education. This finding is significantbecause it challenges the prevailing assumption thatengineering students’ disinterest in non-technicaleducation is the primary barrier to effective ethicsinstruction.

Defining the relevant sustainability learning outcomes and how we could measure our success in teaching sustainability is a complex challenge. This paper introduces the design and findings of a pilot study on the effectiveness of a new Engineering graduate course, Total Sustainability Management, in teaching and learning sustainability, both at the cognitive and the management level. The design of the pre- and post-coursequestionnaires was driven by the course key objectives and adopted framework of sustainability competencies. The findings and questions raised from this pilot study inform the proposed design of further study and, more importantly, the development of a framework for teaching and learning – and thus measuring – sustainability in graduate, interdisciplinary Engineering education.

The current context of rapid evolution of IT technologies and devices (Information Technology) imposes changes in engineering education. Education for the development of creativity becomes a requirement. This paper presents a new concept for the development of creativity by introducing an optional homework for Applied Electronics students, the final year of undergraduate studies. The homework requires electronic design of an application in the field of art of each student's diploma project. The paper presents the results of this initiative and the analysis of students' feedback. A statistical pilot study was organized that highlighted students' opinions about creativity as well as students' reasons for doing or not doing the optional homework.

Abstract Assessing creativity is not an easy task, but that has not stopped researchers from exploring it. Because creativity is essential to engineering disciplines, knowing how to enhance creative abilities through engineering education has been a topic of interest. In this paper, the event related potential (ERP) technique is used to study the neural responses of engineers via a modified alternative uses task (AUT). Though only a pilot study testing two participants, the preliminary results of this study indicate general neuro-responsiveness to novel or unusual stimuli. These findings also suggest that a scaled-up study along these lines would enable better understanding and modeling of neuroresponses of engineers and creative thinking, as well as contribute to the growing field of ERP research in the field of engineering.
