AC 2011-160: INCORPORATING GLOBAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES IN AFRESHMAN ENGINEERING DESIGN COURSE THROUGH COLLABO-RATIVE DESIGN PROJECTSIvan E. Esparragoza, Pennsylvania State University, Media Ivan E. Esparragoza is an Associate Professor of Engineering at Penn State. His interests are in engi- neering design education, innovative design, global design, and global engineering education. He has introduced multinational design projects in a freshman introductory engineering design course in col- laboration with institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean as part of his effort to contribute to the formation of world class engineers for the Americas. He is actively involved in the International Division of the American
all.Our survey indicated that the top five most important dimensions of global competence are: 1)the ability to communicate across cultures, 2) the ability to appreciate other cultures, 3) aproficiency working in or directing a team of ethnic and cultural diversity, 4) the ability toeffectively deal with ethical issues arising from cultural or national differences, 5) possessingunderstanding of cultural differences relating to product design, manufacture, and use, and 5)possessing understand implications of cultural differences of how engineering tasks might beapproached. While more research is needed in this area, it is our hope that these findings willlead to a well-supported definition for what it means to be a globally competent engineer

response at the interview. Interviewing is time consuming for the interviewee andthe interviewer. A one hour interview will typically take four hours to transcribe andsummarise for an experienced interviewer and much longer for an inexperienced one.Ethical approval is also necessary with anonymity for interviewees normally required.This means colourful or individual quotes, which might accidentally identify a source,must often be omitted. The basic ethical requirement is that no harm can be allowed tocome to sources because of their contribution to your research[8]. The standards ofpropriety have been raised in this area in recent years and the idea that you can let thedata speak for itself whilst allowing harm to somebody’s reputation or
– dominated hierarchy, similar to a contemporary university,the most valuable relationships an individual has are the ones that are defined by theinstitution. Being a full professor holds more status, and is “better” than being anassociate professor; likewise, from an ethical perspective, many times titles even dictatewho can talk to whom. In such a hierarchy, a professor must always first talk to hisdepartment Chair before broaching a controversial subject with the Dean. Thoughindependent relationships have some value within the university, for the most part,students are on the bottom, and faculty and administrators are on the top.Contrast to an entrepreneurial company. There, independent relationship formation, if itresults in company success, does
first day, the researcher introduced the casestudy and the relevant ethical codes, and provided the CD version of the case study to thestudents. They were divided into teams and assigned the case studies. The students wereasked to play the roles of the plaintiff, defendant, expert witness, and jury. Jim Russell, a maintenance worker at Lorn Manufacturing Inc., lost three of the fingerson his left hand during a routine maintenance procedure on a cotton manufacturing device,the Lap Winder. This occurred when the Lap Winder he was maintaining suddenly came on.Russell sued Lorn Manufacturing Inc., the designers of the Lap Winder device, for negligence.This negligence suit involves the Codes of Standards that applied to the design and buildingof
