This workshop begins by describing an ongoing collaborative IUSE:EHR Exploration and Design Tier project that attempts to enhance engaged student learning by introducing a field experience into a course that is typically classroom based. This project also expands the field of Engineering Ethics to include considerations of social justice, which goes beyond more typical approaches. Workshop participants will not only learn about this ongoing experiment, but also will be asked to consider (1) how their own approaches to STEM education could expand (into) the field and (2) how best to assess such efforts.
