SUMMARY:E2R2 Journal Club Session
DESCRIPTION:The ISTEP Engineering Education Research Roundtable (E2R2) is a monthly venue for ISTEP faculty\, staff\, and graduate students\, and colleagues and students from other FASE departments\, to exchange ideas about engineering education research. E2R2 aims to build a community for engineering education research within ISTEP and FASE\, and to inspire ideas and advance scholarship and practices in engineering education. These E2R2 meetings have been co-hosted by Professor Deb Tihanyi and Dr. Qin Liu. \nJoin us for the latest instalment of E2R2 (Engineering Education Research Roundtable)! We’ll be meeting for a Journal Club session for a discussionof a recent JEE editorial paper (6 pages\, open access). \nJournal Club Session: Magana\, A. J.\, Watkins\, R.\, & Vieira\, Ca. (2025). Recommendations for the integration of generative artificial intelligence in support of engineering education research workflows. Journal of Engineering Education. https://doi.org/10.1002/jee.70043 \nDate/Time: Friday\, March 6 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM \nRoom: Join in person at MY763 or online via zoom \n\nMeeting ID: 473 342 3257\nPasscode: 123321\n\nReflection / discussion questions: \n\nHave you used GenAI tools as part of the workflow in your engineering education research (EER)? If so\, how was your experience like?\nWhat do you think of the potential and limitations that are outlined in the article regarding the integration of GenAI in EER workflows?

SUMMARY:What Inspires Ethical Research? Lessons from Biomedical Engineering Faculty
DESCRIPTION:Fred Kan Distinguished Lecture In Engineering Ethics 2026\nPromoting ethical engineering research is necessary given the potential for widespread social and technological impacts of engineering research outcomes. But what motivates engineers to think and act ethically\, particularly in the domain of research? In this interactive talk\, Dr. Justin L. Hess will address this question by sharing types of critical incidents experienced by engineering faculty who conduct biomedical engineering research. The incident types denote the formative impacts of professional culture and academic norms\, engaging in ethical behaviors\, observing questionable behaviors\, attending to novel perspectives\, formal and informal training and mentoring events\, and reflecting on one’s own views and experiences. By understanding what experiences inspire engineers to think and act ethically\, institutions of higher education and engineering organizations will be better positioned to support ethical growth be it in formal courses\, faculty research labs\, organizational training efforts\, or by reshaping institutional norms.  \nAbout the Speaker: \n\nDr. Justin L. Hess is an associate professor in the School of Engineering Education\, where he also co-directs the Multidisciplinary Engineering and Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies undergraduate programs. Dr. Hess’s research explores how engineers develop ethical and empathic dispositions. He received his PhD in Engineering Education from Purdue University in 2015\, and his BS/MS in Civil Engineering from Purdue in 2011 and 2015\, respectively. He served as the assistant director of the STEM Education Research Institute at Purdue University for four years (2015-2019) before returning to Purdue as a tenure-track faculty member in 2019.
