Know your personal engineering ethics threshold for action.”3This paper proposes an engineering ethics course that will help students develop these personalengineering ethics and presents the outline of the content, assessment, and pedagogy for teachingthe Engineering Ethics course.As part of the course modules for ethics communications and group work projects have beendeveloped. The paper starts with a background outlining the context of the Engineering Ethicscourse, mentions some particular so called “best practices” to present such a course, exploresassumptions about the course

However, both solutions can collaborate with Navisworks seamlessly to perform this task. This function can play a very important role in construction risk management.Drawing on findings from previous research and this study, a workflow for a BIM course isproposed.

Such project longevity is a key factor intruly engaging students in real-world STEM applications and it carries the inherent benefit ofproviding the time needed for students to fact find and to establish a deep research approach tothe project, two aspects of problem solving that have been described as “vital stages in thecreative process.”6 Long-term efforts on a continuing project also offer the opportunity forstudents to fail, often, in their design attempts to solve STEM problems and to try anew, again,learning with each attempt. Frequent failure has been strongly linked to creativity andinnovativeness in the workplace and, ultimately, to very successful people.7

Likewise, ethicseducation is often based on a utilitarian approach, namely – seeking the best possible outcomefor the most people. However, this strategy does not address the need for making ethicaldecisions that impact individuals or conflicts in professional situations.The principles of Aristotelian philosophy continue to resonate with people, even when they havebeen rejected by many of the philosophers of recent times. The ancients recognized the existenceof reality outside ourselves that we must identify and evaluate through a combination of senseinputs and reasoning by our intellect. Specifically

We willalso examine some commonly used websites to determine how important the knowledgeof buzzwords is for potential employers of industrial engineering graduates. Finally, wewill attempt to determine whether buzzwords confuse students or help them gain a clearvision of industrial engineering. Based on our analysis, we will formulate our ownrecommendations for use of buzzwords in industrial engineering curriculum. While wehave used the word “buzzword” we realize that this word has emotive overtones, and wecontinue to search for a replacement.IntroductionBuzzwords or buzz phrases within the scientific and management community can beloosely defined
