cybersecurity vulnerabilities are often result from ethical omissions or oversights.Just as engineers respect engineering professional ethics, so must citizens who participate incrowdsourcing or open innovation endeavors which solicit, gather or process data. Taxonomies provide a useful mechanism to understand and classify various social ortechnical phenomenon. In this paper, we will share a taxonomy that identifies how professionalengineering ethics are represented and brought to life in 21st century crowdsourced engineeringprojects, which include commercial and research efforts from Dell Technologies, Ennomotive,Innocentive, IDEO, Digital Humanitarian Network, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, andthe United States’ government Challenge.gov

, resulting in harmful lead levels. The problem was fixed in 2004, but thousands ofchildren suffered permanent damage [6].With the less land intensive rapid sand filter in place, the 25 acre fenced and closed McMillanpark was sold to the government of DC. In 2021, this space remains chained off and idle, withthe neighborhoods continuing to protest the city’s development plan [7]. This provides andexample to discuss difficulties and failures in government attempts to redevelop public land.McMillan WTP satellite view, Google Earth [8]Curated case studies are used widely in the teaching of engineering ethics [9]. The efficacy ofusing case methods in civil engineering is established. The benefits of using this approach are improved retention of

Technical aspects of Civil Engineering: areas of specialization; fundamentaldesign and critical thinking exercises to address Civil Engineering related problems.Through these topics, the student will learn to: 1. Identify a broad range of career opportunitiesand areas of specialization within the field of civil engineering; 2. Recognize the expectations ofthe Civil Engineering profession, as outlined in the ASCE Code of Ethics; 3. Identify the stepsrequired to earn licensure as a professional engineer and to become certified in a range ofspecializations within Civil Engineering; 4. Discuss

concerns. Theeffectiveness of these methods is also called into question since students have multiple methodsavailable to communicate, and to access information on the internet. Online proctoring servicesalso exist however there is an associated cost. Even here however student have found way tobypass protocol for proctored online exams [8]. This is a place for a technical resolutionhowever this must coexist with an effort to engage a student own sense of ethical responsibility.A student’s academic integrity is a close correlation with that student’s personal integrity [9].Academic integrity has to exist alongside a personal ethical sense of responsibilityOne of the first steps in this process is for the instructor to define academic integrity

daily meetings with mentors, the frequency for which 100% of participants report was “just right.” Likewise, the weekly program- wide lunch sessions were successful at creating a sense of community. ● Women report greater gains in confidence than men, who also had positive gains. ● The 2020 cohort had greater gains in knowledge concerning presenting research and ethics in research, yet lower gains in knowledge related to career options and graduate school awareness and preparing research proposals as compared to 2019. ● Participants report increasing their sense of belonging as scientists, but not feeling like members of a scientific community. 2020 participants were much more likely to report

participants to acclimate to their research projects before the programstart.Throughout this work, participants were able to gain or further develop skills in some of thefollowing areas: Ethical Hacking, Data Science, Intrusion Detection Systems, Linux, MachineLearning, Networking, and Python, as well as interact with a designated smart device and testingenvironment. In the first summer, participants were assigned a smart glucose meter and taskedwith 1) exploiting the potential threats associated with installing smart devices onto unsecurednetwork configurations via address resolution protocol (ARP) poisoning, and 2) exploring socialengineering tactics through cloning the device user application. Additionally, in the followingsummer, participants

The question for the NYU BSCE program is how much misalignment of ranking withinthe n-tuple can be tolerated without requiring intervention to correct the problem. This wasresolved using the criteria and decision rules discussed below.The use of mixed-methods for continuous improvement in the NYU BSCE programThe NYU BSCE program implemented a mixed-methods approach to evaluating its three mainassessment measures for its 2020 ABET Self-study report (SSR) and continuous improvementinputs. Mixed-methods analysis and evaluation were performed for all seven ABET studentoutcomes. Four outcomes had three components (SO1-Complex problems, SO2-Design, SO4-Professional and ethical responsibilities, and
