• Professionalism Meetings: Convene occasional professionalism meetings to share experiences and talk about strategies for resolving issues.
• Ethics Disaster Drills: Run occasional drills where faculty, staff and students can practice engaging with colleagues to address problematic behavior
• Workshops: Develop and deliver an occasional workshop on engineering ethics.
• Required Courses: Require ethics courses for all trainees
• Elective Course: Develop and deliver a new elective course on engineering ethics.
• Graduate Student Peer Mentoring: Train all graduate students to mentor peers.
• Faculty Mentors: Train interested research mentors to explicitly articulate the ethical dimensions of choices they make.
• Telling Stories: Train interested research mentors to leverage power of narrative (telling stories of personal experience with professional ethics issues, both positive and negative) in mentoring students on responsible conduct.
• Faculty Peer Mentoring: Train interested faculty on peer mentoring, including typical career advancement topics as well as responsible conduct.

• Question-based lecture: Identify key points to be covered, frame as questions, and deliver “lecture” by asking learners the questions. When answers are correct, re-affirm and clarify if needed. If answers are not given or not correct, then fill in and/or correct as needed.
• Game show: Use PowerPoint templates with a game show format (e.g., “Who wants to be a millionaire?”) to get learners to answer questions covering information of interest.
• Scenes from a hat: Write characteristics of different types of individuals involved in a research dispute, have pairs of learners draw from the hat to select roles, have them discuss a challenging issue (e.g., authorship, sharing of data), and reflect on what did and did not work with the class. [From Dr. Lisa Eyler, UC San Diego, based on “Scenes from a hat” as used in game show “Whose line is it anyway?”]
• Reflections: Give students 2-3 minutes to reflect on a question, write down their answer, share (either in pairs or with the class), and discuss.
• Questions: Give students 2-3 minutes to write down key question(s) they have (or still have…), and then address their questions in class.
• Video clips: Identify relevant video clips (e.g., from episodes of House, Big Bang Theory, or Star Trek) to use as starting points for discussion about issues in science.
• Advance Survey: In advance of class, distribute electronic survey to elicit agreement (strongly disagree to strongly agree) with statements about topic. Analyze results and use as a basis for discussion with learners at next meeting.
• In class poll: Use online tool (e.g., kahoot.it) or embedded poll option in Zoom to poll learners on multiple choice questions, and discuss results received in real time.
• Role play: Divide class into groups of three, with instruction to discuss challenging issue in character (e.g., grad student and PI); third group member observes and reports back on successes, weaknesses, and results of discussion. [Brummel BJ, Gunsalus CK Anderson KL, Loui MC (2010): Development of role-play scenarios for teaching responsible conduct of research. Science and Engineering Ethics 16(3):573-589.]
• Debate: Divide class into pairs of small groups (4-5 people), with half the groups responsible for pro and the other half con on a defined issue. After sufficient time to develop arguments, groups are called on successively to raise arguments and counterarguments to each other (e.g. Debate Formats).

• Thesis or Senate Exams: Incorporate an ethics section into thesis or senate exams.
• Joint Group Meetings: Schedule occasional joint group meetings to foster sharing of ideas and diversity of views.
• Peer Review of Research Groups: Develop mechanism for peer reviews of research group policies and management as a way to share ideas. A case could be made to include positive reviews in files for academic advancement.

• Research Lectures or Meetings: Routinely insert a few minutes to ask or answer a related ethics question as part of a regular research lecture series or in journal clubs.
• Faculty Meetings: Include talks or discussions about ethics, civic culture, or how to have difficult discussions in faculty meetings.

• Ask everyone: To elicit pros or cons about a particular course of action, or brainstorming items on a list, ask each member of group to come up with possibility not already covered. React and clarify as appropriate. Continue until all members have participated, or ideas have run out.
• SOP 4 GRP: Assign group the task of developing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Good Research Practice (e.g., a policy for authorship, requirements for recordkeeping).
• Code of conduct: Either provide or have members of group find relevant professional code of conduct and use as a starting point for discussion (e.g., Why are these elements included? What’s missing?).
• Current events: For almost any topic involving the practice of research or engineering, members of the group can be challenged to find a recent news story, blog entry, journal article, etc. and then use as starting point for group discussion.
• Look it up: Have members of group look up answers to questions about, for example, responsible data management, authorship guidelines, or designing experiments to mitigate risks of bias.
• Assigned discussion report: Ask members of group to come up with a specific question about responsible practices (e.g., “Under what circumstances is it OK for a PI to show a manuscript received for journal review to a trainee?”) as a starting point for discussion.
• Broader Impact: Use development of “broader impact” statements for grant proposals as a way to engage trainee(s) in considering social responsibility in science.
• Grant Writing: Enlist trainee(s) in process of grant writing.
