Ladd3 subdivided engineering ethics into microethics and macroethics.Microethics considers individuals and internal relations of the engineering profession.Macroethics pays more attention to larger societal problems and values the collective socialresponsibility of the profession in making decisions about technology relevant to the good ofsociety.4 Most of the current teaching in engineering ethics has focused on microethics.5 Asa result, this educational focus

The framework used to develop informal sustainability modules was based oncreating interactive, hands-on experiences, which allowed students to better grasp and connect tothe topics presented.In order to assess the sustainability modules, and prove that students were grasping the intendedlearning outcomes, assessment tools were established. Assessment strategies have undergonenumerous revisions, based on data collected from various sustainability based programs held onthe Lafayette College Campus, such as the Lafayette College S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics) Camp, to develop the most effective model for measuring studentlearning outcomes, opinions, and intended behaviors regarding sustainability

Prior to this I was a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Director for the Focused Research Program on Next Generation Lighting. Prior to joining Georgia Tech I have had leadership positions in both academia and industry. My research has focused on the area of wide bandgap materials and devices (emitters, detectors and elec- tronics) using GaN and ZnO
provided. However, in some curriculum,specifically engineering, a strong emphasis on active learning can be beneficial to students.To address this disconnect between delivery and student-learning, the flipped classroom teachingmethod has been gaining popularity. Additionally, reasonable technology is available to facilitatethis delivery method. The flipped classroom often takes lectures normally given during classtime and moves them outside of the classroom in the form of recorded videos or voice-overPowerPoint slides. The students watch the lecture on their own time and are able to pause,rewind, take notes, and re-watch the lectures as many times as is necessary to understand thematerial. These videos are usually accompanied by some kind of quiz
