Society of Professional Engineer ethics creed5 isintroduced: “…I dedicate my professional knowledge and skill to the advancement andbetterment of human welfare.” Like many other professional society ethics statements, engineersidentify service to humankind as their greater purpose. If engineering students are trained to be“problem solvers,” why not present the world’s problems as challenges for our engineers totackle?One of the most effective ways used to raise the awareness of global issues for students is toassign reading articles from mainstream publications, such as Time magazine and TechnologyReview. Some special issues of Time address the environment (“How to Save the Earth”)6 andpoverty (“How to End Poverty”).7 Students welcome the

Thefoundation of this context includes: 1) General background – engineering design process, codeof ethics, and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 2) Client/audience awareness –characterization of the municipality’s future population and water demand, and 3) Technicalanalysis – water treatment unit operations theories and concepts, solving single solutionproblems, and identifying design parameters and criteria. The focal point which integrates thesethree components is a water treatment plant design project. The outcomes that are realizedthrough this approach are accomplished by developing a preliminary engineering report (PER

How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered.
