areas, manufacturingis a dominant economic activity that requires students be competent in the science, technology,engineering, mathematics (STEM) fields and typically requires a post-secondary education forsome of the better paying positions. In an effort to assist students with this challenge andeducate more students for the manufacturing work force, a partnership was formed to put asecondary STEM teacher and college faculty in the same classroom. The partnership allowedstudents to know the local post-secondary educational options related to STEM and to getcomfortable with the campus while being introduced to computer integrated manufacturing(CIM) practices. This initial class had ten students that participated and this paper will explainthe

The primary assignment for this module is a formal paper in IEEE format that proposes a design project to meet the needs of a severely disabled child.

Laboratories, also scheduled everyone to two weeks, provide the students with opportunities to apply the lecture material to realmachine components and systems and to develop practical skills in design and machining. Eachlaboratory includes three separate activities for the students to perform, and almost all of thelaboratory equipment was designed and constructed in-house specifically for the course. Thethird component of the course is a design project, which is assigned at the beginning of thesemester and requires the students to integrate what they learn from the weekly lectures andlaboratories, in addition to the material they learn in the Mechanics Based Design lecture

(ASCE), American Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASME), and others. This framing of engineering codes of ethics begins to expandfrom microethical issues into larger macroethical issues such as sustainability and socialresponsibility. Social responsibility (SR) has been defined as “an ethical theory that an entity, beit an organization or individual, has an obligation to act to benefit society at large.” 2 In thecontext of engineering, Vanasupa et al.3 define SR as “the responsibility of engineers to carefullyevaluate the full range of broader impacts of their designs on the health, safety and welfare of thepublic and the environment.” Some have suggested that engineering ethics education should
