ethics in theirengineering education. The responses to Q 2.a show a significantly larger fraction of the EIAcourse students have the perception that engineering ethics was addressed in a significant way inany of their courses. The responses to Q2.b indicated that a significant fraction of the studentsthat answered yes to Q2.a attributed their positive response to the EIA course. Excluding theEIA course responders that attributed a “yes” answer to Q2.a to the ethics content in the EIAcourse show a response very similar to the generic McGinn results. The survey results excludingthe impact of the EIA course indicate that almost all the students expect to face ethical issuesduring their careers, but less than one-third say they have discussed an
Questions Pre-Q Prior to this course, I had participated in an online blog (Y/N). Using Likert Scale, Q1 I enjoy online blogging as a component of this class. Q2 Blogging is an effective way to communicate with the rest of the class. Q3 Blogging enhances my desire to communicate with my peers.

the adiabatic process, the students were asked if the heat, Q, wasgreater for process 1. Although the acceptable selection ranged from 40% to 56% percent, only11% gave an acceptable response based upon the first law of thermodynamics. This implies thatalthough the students could get the correct answer, they could not give an acceptable reasonabout why it was correct. This could be because they lack conceptual understanding of the firstlaw, but not necessarily procedural understanding. In addition, Loverude and others (2002) showthat students did not consider the first law of thermodynamics when given a problem that neededthe first law to be answered correctly. Loverude and others questioned 36 thermal physicsstudents during two rounds of

By default (not marking the box), they are confident, so if they wantto ignore this method, they can do so and still take the quiz all or nothing, just like the first quizof the course. The problems on quizzes with the “not-confident” checkbox are scored out of fivetotal points as shown in Table 1.The 5 quizzes included the following 13 problems with the quiz number indicated as Q#: (1, Q2)block diagram reduction, (2, Q3) Laplace Transforms, (3, Q3) Final Value Theorem, (4, Q3)block diagram reduction, (5, Q4) determining the order of a system from a Bode plot, (6, Q4)system response from a step input, (7, Q4), determining system parameters from a transferfunction, (8
