Engineering Ethics

course, people are prone to ethical errors when theydeplete self-restraint resources (e.g., when people focus on a difficult task for several hourswithout a break, their ability to make correct ethical judgments is compromised). As we know,many students (and professionals) sometimes work late into the night in order to meet deadlines.If students recognize when they are entering or are in situations that deplete self-restraintresources – say working late in the laboratory, becoming hungry and sleep deprived – they cando what is necessary to rejuvenate themselves, or, failing that become cautious and move tolevel-2 thinking when making ethical choices in situations in which self-restraint resources aredepleted. More generally, we provide

They more often worked on labs and projects, were given the conceptsbefore equations, and worked on small group activities (all p<0.05). These students also had astronger desire to be an expert in a single field (p<0.01) and were less rigid than their chemicalengineering counterparts in their attitudes (p<0.05). Chemistry students' confidence in a scienceclassroom or laboratory may explain why some students who would succeed in chemicalengineering choose chemistry as their major.Chemical engineering students showed a significantly higher interest and confidence in theirphysics

In the past, this technology has been confined tospecialized laboratories, primarily because the equipment necessary to support these kinds ofenvironments was prohibitively expensive. In addition, developing meaningful AR applicationsrequired a broad, yet deep, set of computing skills. As such, initial experimentation was reservedexclusively for advanced graduate research. Similar to other paradigms, these constraints arebeing removed, providing educators an opportunity to introduce AR at the undergraduate level.AR environments encompass many educational approaches that have been
