“…Moreover, the means of intra-group coordination and trust are lowest and highest, respectively, in both the pretest and posttest; while the means of the intra-group communication makes the greatest improvement between the pretest and posttest. These are in agreement with the previous research results [29].…”

“…In addition, the means of intra-group coordination and trust were lowest and highest, respectively; while the means of the intra-group communication makes the greatest improvement between the pretest and posttest. These are in agreement with the previous research results [29]. Next, the qualitative results indicate that communication were more sensible for the students while trust drew least attention.…”

“…In the team meetings, they discuss the information collected, suggest solutions, evaluate solutions, and present the team's conclusion finally [13,26,27]. Some paper used collaboration and cooperation alternatively [21,28,29]. On the other hands, Matthews addressed that confusion about their similarities and differences leads not only to misconceptions, but to different opinions sometimes.…”

“…Overall, fifty-eight 58 senior mechanical engineering students, 50 males and 8 females, participated in this study. Three questionnaires used in this study: Inventory of Criticalthinking Dispositions, ICTD [39], collaboration questionnaire [29,40,41], and the learning experience opinions investment (LEOI) [42]. The quantitative data are analyzed by means, standard deviation, and paired sample T test by the statistical software SPSS 23.0.…”

(1) Background: Critical thinking, CT, contributes to success in both career and higher education, and may be more important than professional content knowledge. Nevertheless, it is challenging to cultivate CT in a standalone course, especially for the engineering students who think less critically than those in other colleges. (2) Methods: This research incorporated CT concept into 18 weeks curriculum of Engineeringethics and Society course, with the assistance of collaborative learning process for formative assessment and problem-based learning for summative assessment, in addition to 3 questionnaires to evaluate the progress in CT and collaboration. (3) Results: Both measurements in CT and collaboration improved significantly. In general, the participants enjoyed the course materials and thought these CT and values infused course activities were helpful to the learning. On the other hand, CT was also the most noticeable problem. About one over every five participants lacked the habit to think, while 17% of participants were afraid of complex questions to think. In addition, 10% doubted their CT skills. It concludes that total 46% participants thought CT is their most crucial shortage. (4) Conclusions: the pretest demonstrated the CT of the participants was below the college norm; fortunately, the assistance of the social interaction, including team work practices, peer evaluation, and pressure to push individuals work harder and think deeper, did promote their CT cognitive development.

The characteristics of green intelligent (GI) engineering ethics emphasize the necessity of GI engineering ethics education (EEE). The ethics education of GI engineering is in the development stage, and it is urgent to fully understand the significance of evaluating the development of GI EEE. Only based on the GI manufacturing situation system to understand the implementation status of the core education of EEE can we objectively grasp the improvement space of GI EEE. In this study, the corresponding indicators were selected from three dimensions of cultivation education, collaborative education, and situational education to form the element community of evaluation indicators. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method were used to empirically evaluate the implementation of the key mechanism of GI EEE. The results are as follows. (1) The key education of GI EEE includes cultivation education of micro dimension, collaborative education of medium dimension, and situational education of macro dimension. (2) The most important education is to strengthen the ethics education of GI engineering in the training process of college students. The coordination of GI EEE is becoming more and more important, and the integration and construction are the important pursuit of GI EEE. (3) The cultivation education, collaborative education, and situational education of GI EEE are all at a general level. (4) There is not only a gap between theory and practice in GI EEE but also insufficient attention to localization and coordination issues. The willingness of the government to participate in the ethical education of GI engineering is very insufficient. The optimized space of training education includes teaching cases and full-cycle ethical education.
