dc.description.abstractMore than ever, engineering students must be prepared for social responsibility. The 20th-century saw unprecedented social and technical advancement, leading to population growth and depleting natural resources. As a result, engineering educators have been called upon to prepare students for these professional social responsibilities. However, social responsibility is more discretionary and interpretive than legal and ethical responsibilities, and educators lack clarity on what exactly social responsibility entails and how to design effective learning experiences for it. This thesis explores the relationship between student participation in various engineering learning experiences and social responsibility. Results of this study show that fourth- year students were likely to have higher social responsibility measures than first-year students, especially in a professional capacity. Participation in certain learning experiences corresponded to increased social responsibility measures, while others did not. Lastly, the results show that social responsibility measures could be correlated with three professional graduate attributes.en_US
