Professional competence has been previouslydefined as a high level of motivation, use of intelligence to solve problems and make decisions,teamwork, management and leadership of others, communication, planning and management of aproject and resources, innovation, and a strategic view of the larger picture of the project2,3. Thesecompetences, along with strong technical knowledge skill set, have been linked to futureprofessional engineering success3,4. Additionally, ABET requires that graduating engineers meetthe following select criteria: (d) ability to function on multidisciplinary teams; (f) understandingof professional and ethical responsibility; (g) ability to communicate effectively; and (h) the broadeducation necessary to

Signs of upholding and advancing these values and contributing to the greater good could include: • Being engaged in the world and thinking beyond

The general methodology for our qualitative interview process follows thatoutlined in by Strauss (Strauss, 1987). An external evaluation center performed the interviewsand small focus groups to avoid ethical conflicts. Ethnographic data has consisted of informal notes and journals kept by members of theFYE team. The goal of such an informal structure is to preserve natural observations (Anderson,2003). Since the

For example, when asked to describe what factors wereused to select a mentor student participant responses were as follows: 1) professionalism of the mentor,2) previous advising experience with mentor, 3) person demonstrated consideration for the student ingiven situations, 4) person was eager to share information to assist with pursuing degree, 5) commonresearch interests with the mentor, and 6) work ethics of the mentor

Become aware of ethical and societal concerns relating to the problems being solved.Using ABET’s concept of outcomes based learning, there should be learning outcomes that aremeasurable and targeted to help the students in reaching the stated objectives. The learningoutcomes for the workshop are listed below.The student will: 1. Apply the Lean LaunchPad process to engineering design; 2. Analyze a problem, and identify and define the requirements appropriate to a solution; 3. Design, implement, and evaluate an engineering design to meet desired needs; 4. Function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal; 5. Understand professional, ethical, legal, security and social issues and
critical and timely technical and non-technical skills will be identified by workingclosely with industry partners and then will be incorporated across the curriculum, including innon-technical courses. This comprehensive approach will allow the required competencies to beintroduced and emphasized in courses in order to support students’ development throughout theireducational pathway. An example of such a course specifically designed to focus on bothtechnical and non-technical skills is RCBC’s SOC-160 course, Society, Ethics, and Technology.This course provides students with a framework for understanding the ways in which technologyaffects society and to further understand the social, ethical, global, environmental, andprofessional

However, the latter experiments are long and take considerable amount of timeto complete. In the ELEG 1021 course, twelve of the sixteen experiments are completed duringa semester. Two weeks are scheduled for mid-semester and final examinations. Another week isdevoted to discussion of engineering ethics and an ethics quiz. Institutions may have to make athoughtful decision with regard to experiments their students may perform during a semester or aterm.6 ASSESSMENT RESULTSThe students who took the ELEG 1021 course completed surveys.

Instead, the lectures are structuredin a seminar style which consists of a series of sub-topics that are aimed atmotivating students and exposing students with the EE profession, career options,project design and development fundamentals, ethics, professional societies, andthe EE curriculum and program overview. The Intro to EE course also includes aweekly hands-on laboratory session aimed at introducing students to common EEinstruments, software and hardware tools, and providing a fun design experienceusing a simple and low-cost microcontroller (MCU) platform.This second
project. In order to achieve this successfully, the faculty member must beintegrated and a regular participant in the design project. In the spirit of the ASCE Code of Ethics,those mentors must serve in the area of their professional competence; thereby requiring that eachmulti-disciplinary design experience involve an engineer of a related field. While it might beassumed that multiple professors assigned to a single senior design project may be redundant, thismodel matches professional practice as each discipline would approach the contractual relationshipaware of not only the hierarchy within the design team, but also branched into the paired designfirms.In addition to adhering to ethical practice of serving in the engineering realm of

TTE REU was designed as an intervention for students so thatthey would have an opportunity to build their confidence and knowledge in science andengineering with the goal that this intervention would lead to more students transferring to abachelor program. As discussed by S. Artis4, TTE REU brings students from communitycolleges around the state of California to the University of California, Berkeley to complete a9 week summer research internship. The first week of the internship has the students goingthrough a “laboratory bootcamp” where the students learn lab safety, ethics
