students were genuinelyexcited about completing a challenging, cutting-edge project that pushed them beyond their“comfort zones” into new areas of learning. They really appreciated being able to build whatthey were designing, and seeing how this influenced the design process. They were moremotivated to engage and find answers to hard questions. They were able to make application ofsystems engineering principles on a real project with real consequences. As a result, they realizedthe benefits of the systems engineering approach. They were motivated to work throughteamwork and management issues in order to achieve successful system development. Andfinally, this experience opened their eyes to career paths in systems and test engineering.The student

and discussions of engineering ethics tend to blur the distinction betweenethical judgments/decisions and actions/behaviors, assuming the ability to make ethicaljudgments/decisions will simply lead to ethical actions/behaviors – where unethicalactions/behaviors result from either a lack of knowledge regarding ethics or the inability to applythis knowledge.
