P. HOLLES AND  \nTONI LEFTON  \nColorado School of Mines Golden, CO  \nABSTRACT  \nThis article discusses two multidisciplinary courses created at the Colorado School of Mines that were developed to integrate ethics into the first-year engineering curriculum: “Nature and Human Values”(NHV) and “Innovation and Discovery in Engineering, Arts, and Sciences”(IDEAS) . In both NHV and IDEAS, our objectives are to meaningfully integrate personal and professional ethics within a larger context of integrating humanities and social sciences with engineering curricula. We teach students how to apply ethical reasoning in support of engineering solutions through user empathy, problem definition, stakeholder engagement, communication of outcomes, and analysis of contextsand impacts. In the process, we emphasize personal morals, professional ethics, and environmental ethics via literary readings and case studies that have a strong central narrative of engineering and / or environmental impacts. Students practice close reading and analysis, communication in many rhetorical modes, and evaluation of and reflection about the wider contexts and effects of design solutions. These practices, as well as course assessments, enable a focus on synthesis across learning outcomes. Collaboration between faculty from many disciplinary areas as well as student teamwork and group projects also supports this synthesis, and reflective portfolios encourage students to explore their ideas at different learning stages and to review their own perceptions and decisions over time. Our overall theory of change is to simultaneously infuse engineering problem solving with values-sensitive analysis and design, requiring communication skills and ethical reasoning at every step.  \nKey words: Multidisciplinary, Reflection, Honors programs  \nSUMMER 2020 1  \nADVANCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION  \nIntegrating Ethics in Engineering Education through Multidisciplinary Synthesis, Collaboration, and Reflective Portfolios  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe Colorado School of Mines (Mines) has a long history in trying to overcome the challenges of integrating ethics into its engineering curriculum beginning over 20 years ago. The course“Nature and Human Values”(NHV) was developed in 1997 when faculty across campus realized that Mines graduates were lacking in two key areas: communication skills and ethics instruction. The Liberal Arts and International Studies Division (LAIS) – now called the Division of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences – proposed two 3-credit courses for the general engineering curriculum to address these gaps: communication / technical writing and ethics. However, the university was unwilling to relinquish valuable credit hours outside of the technical curriculum, one of the perennial problems of engineering education Grose (2013) articulates. In response, LAIS developed a 4-credit course meant to achieve the outcomes of both first-year writing and ethics courses in one semester. This challenge forced instructors to develop a unique, highly integrated course with a combined lecture / seminar format: students spent 1–2 hours per week in large group lecture of 200–320 students, where lectures on case studies, ethical codes, and moral theories were delivered by rotating subject-area experts, and then spent 2–3 hours per week in small classes of 18–22 students where they engaged in a Socratic seminar focused on discussion, peer review of writing, and critical reading and research designed to reinforce the lessons learned in lecture.  \nAlongside the success of NHV, such as its recognition as an Exemplar in Engineering Ethics E","cbCaibfRUQ7CQy3B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibfRUQ7CQy3B","pdf",870208,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Nature and Human Values (NHV)\n## Innovation and Discovery in Engineering, Arts, and Sciences (IDEAS)\n## Three pedagogical tools: synthesis, collaboration, reflection","[{\"question\":\"What two courses does the article describe for integrating ethics into engineering education?\",\"answer\":\"The article describes “Nature and Human Values” (NHV) and “Innovation and Discovery in Engineering, Arts, and Sciences” (IDEAS).
