feel for what will be expected of them during their manylaboratory classes they will have to take.As part of the TAC-ABET accreditation requirements for engineering technology programsoutcome h calls for “an understanding of and a commitment to address professional and ethicalresponsibilities, including a respect for diversity”4. The topic of ethics in general is introduced inthis seminar course as part of the need to meet this TAC-ABET requirement. Students areintroduced to the differences between legal, moral, business and ethical decisions that they mayface in their careers. The final mini-project is a series of ethical decisions they must make aspart of a game. These will be described below.Project 1 – Scavenger HuntsThe students taking

Meet Educational Outcomes The University of Virginia noted how the inaugural competition in 2002 helped them meetaccreditation requirements.4 The Accreditation Board for Engineering & Technology (ABET)requires that both Technology and Engineering programs incorporate standards and otherrealistic constraints into their educational program. The design process for Solar Decathlonhomes includes not only standards, but also brings economic, environmental, manufacturing,ethics, safety, health, social, and marketing issues along with it. It is hard to imagine a betterway to expose students to the broad range of issues they’ll face during their careers. Design

Inaddition to these important skills, the mentors needed to have some knowledge and backgroundon how to be a role model for their peers. During this workshop, mock discussion sessions wereprepared on real-life subjects such as learning, teaching and learning styles, ethics in workplace,etc. The fundamental goal of this workshop was to train the mentors on how to lead a discussionsession with their mentees and
