Engineering students’ knowledge and opinions about corporate social responsibility
Jessica Smith | jmsmith@mines.edu
The project seeks to understand Mines students’ knowledge and opinions about corporate social responsibility, which is a key area of practice for engineers working inside of corporations but is under-studied in engineering education research. We have surveyed over 1200 students at Mines and need assistance managing the survey data and beginning to analyze it.
