Engineering ethics is the guiding, ethical principles that apply to the practice of engineering. Principled Innovation, one of ASU’s new design aspirations, is the ability to imagine new concepts, catalyze ideas, and form new solutions guided by principles that create positive change for humanity. This QRG includes ideas for implementation and strategies to create opportunities for students to reflect on engineering ethics and principled innovation practices.

Discussion Boards can be used to increase content comprehension, retention, and metacognitive skills in any type of course and provide students with social connection outside of the classroom setting. This QRG includes ideas for implementation and actionable strategies to create interesting discussion posts for your students.

Guide students to adopt a customer-centered approach by connecting technical skills to real-world challenges. Customer discovery focuses on identifying user needs, validating assumptions, and refining solutions through direct engagement. This QRG offers methods such as interviews and research, supporting a human-centered design.

Cultivating curiosity in students allows them to uncover essential information that shapes engineering solutions. This QRG includes types of curiosity, ideas for implementation, and actionable strategies to drive student curiosity.

Creating value means that students consider the economic, social, societal, and personal value that their engineering solutions create. This QRG includes ideas for implementing value creation in engineering courses, assignments, and projects to have students consider who they are designing for and why.

Faculty can inspire students to see connections between their technical skills and the world around them. A systems-thinking approach allows engineers to see multiple viewpoints and solutions. This QRG includes ideas for implementation and actionable strategies to emphasize connections in your course with an entrepreneurial mindset (EM).

Concept maps are a way to get students to interact with content to make connections at a more sophisticated level. This QRG introduces readers to concept maps, distinguishes what they are and are not, provides practical implementation steps and shares benefits of using them in coursework.

This QRG contains information about the use of Classroom Response Systems, like iClicker. The use of these tools will help improve student engagement as students are answering teacher-created and embedded questions throughout the lesson. Classroom Response Systems are especially useful in large courses, as well as to support the instructor in assessing learners, taking attendance, and lifting disadvantaged students to success.

Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) are simple, non-graded or low-stakes activities designed to give you and your students useful feedback on the learning-teaching process as it is happening. This QRG includes ideas for implementation and the benefits for both students and instructors.

CATME is a web-based tool (available to all FSE instructors) that is designed to support peer evaluation, team and collaborative learning, and/or project-based activities. This QRG includes comprehensive directions on implementing CATME in your course, including requesting a CATME account, creating teams, and using peer evaluations.
