that outcome. With increasing specialization and complexity, the only truly effective police are those that have the expertise and those that are working on the inside…. You can’t legislate morality. (Marc Edwards8)Professionally licensed engineers in the U.S. are bound by a Code of Ethics, and can lose theirlicense to practice engineering for ethical violations. However, a significant percentage ofengineers do not become professionally licensed. Regardless, students graduating from ABET-accredited engineering, engineering technology and computing programs must have anunderstanding of professional and ethical issues.9-11 But the depth and breadth of this knowledgeis poorly defined, proper assessment is difficult, and most

Engineering Education, 2016 Integrating instrumentation and mechatronics education in Mechanical Engineering curriculumAbstractA diverse and effective undergraduate mechanical curriculum should integrate learning from thedifferent spheres of mechanical engineering, educate students about recent technologicaladvances, and motivate them to pursue careers in this field. However, a seamless integration ofvaried topics in mechanical engineering curriculum is challenging, as courses range fromtraditional engineering classes in thermal fluids, solids and controls, to courses coveringemerging technological aspects of instrumentation, sensors, measurement techniques, advancedcontrol algorithms, electronics, and electrical

Consequently, the educational practice could benefit from the outcomes of such research. Also, there has been strong links between research in education and the research traditions of the social sciences which both are complex and complicated themes 15. v.

Formal education and training inScience, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) subjects is very important to meet thetechnical occupational needs in transportation. However, research has shown that enrolment inundergraduate degree programs in STEM fields are declining and that for students who major inSTEM-related degree programs at college, many fail to complete their degrees or enter a STEM-related job field7, 8.

However, to integrate ethicsmodules more thoroughly across the engineering curriculum a systematic approach is requiredwith proper accounting of teaching load for ethics/philosophy faculty who lecture in multiplecourses. For efficiency, an ethics case-study database with assignment and discussion questionsshould be maintained, and an online module could be explored with in-class facilitateddiscussion.Introduction With the rapid advancement of technology and integration within all aspects of our society,the ethical implications of our engineering decisions are growing in importance.

The primary enabling technology is statisticalprogramming with Python. The case studies are introduced as group assignments and aremotivated in class or discussion sessions.
