This theoretical paper will provide a review of the literature regarding the need for ethics in the workplace and how taxonomical ethical development can be used in engineering education. In fact, advocacy to educate for ethics in engineering education by design is discussed as a solution to this problem. By spiraling ethical competency development into engineering education as a body of practice, rather than as a theory of knowledge, it is possible to integrate engineering “hard science” content with engineering “soft science” competency. This means that current programs’ scopes and sequences may remain in place, with recommended changes in pedagogy.

In order to tackle issues related to student engagement and motivation, some instructors have used games design elements as pedagogical methods in their classroom. Research on the use of gamified pedagogies in engineering education has grown in the last 15 years. However, past literature reviews found almost no papers documenting the use of gamification in Canada. Therefore, this paper will report the results of a systematic literature review specifically focused on the use of game-based learning and gamification strategies in engineering education in Canada. Results showed that 15 papers documented the pedagogical use of games or gamification in the Canadian undergraduate engineering education context. Most papers reported positive outcomes regarding student attitude, motivation and engagement; however, more research is needed on the efficacy of gamified pedagogies in delivering learning outcomes.

Brazilian higher education uses traditional learning methods centered on the professor and lectures. However, active learning methodologies have recently been gaining ground, especially in courses in the health area, due to legal guidelines for their implementation in Brazil. At the same time, the use of active methodologies in engineering education to optimize learning results is already widespread in several countries. In this sense, this chapter aims to propose a structure that addresses the interface between the agile Scrum framework applied to education, known as EduScrum, and the active learning methodologies to develop a more applied and results-focused approach. Thus, the scope of this work includes a review of the literature and the structuring, application, and evaluation of a hybrid method adequate for training engineering students for modern technological advancements. Finally, the results obtained, as well as a roadmap, are presented to guide the application of the model in other learning contexts.

This paper explores the way in which three graduate attributes have been instructed on, together, in the undergraduate engineering curriculum. In particular, this paper explores how teamwork, ethics & equity, and the impact of engineering on society and the environment are taught together. These three attributes are used as a framing for engineering leadership education to explore how it has been embedded in the curriculum from a graduate attributes perspective. Following systematic literature review principles, this work explores the prevalence and motivations forincorporating these attributes in undergraduate engineering education in Washington Accord signatory countries. Findings indicate that these attributes are not frequently documented as being taught together, and are motivated equally as a design topic as a leadership/entrepreneurship topic.

The field of engineering education has adapted different theoretical frameworks from a wide range of disciplines to explore issues of education, diversity, and inclusion among others. The number of theoretical frameworks that explore these issues using a critical perspective has been increasing in the past few years. In this review of the literature, we present an analysis that draws from Freire’s principles of critical andragogy and pedagogy. Using a set of inclusion criteria, we selected 33 research articles that used critical theoretical frameworks as part of our systematic review of the literature. We argue that critical theoretical frameworks are necessary to develop anti-deficit approaches to engineering education research. We show how engineering education research could frame questions and guide research designs using critical theoretical frameworks for the purpose of liberation.
