concentration.In the fall semester of 2016, we heard a “call” from the community of Mount Vernon, Ohio. Itwas a need expressed to us - the Ariel Foundation Park Learning Trails project needed help fromour engineering students to conduct a study of the history of a century-old bridge and createeducational materials for the community. We gladly took it on as a class project since studentswere studying finite element methods and learning a new software – ANSYS. We were rewardedfor it - students loved this service project as it created a link between abstract engineering theoryand everyday objects they could touch and see. Along the process they learned what they neededto learn - the CAE tool. It was a win-win situation. In the following sections, we will

-Across-the-Curriculum: Year One of Developing an Ethics Curriculum in an Undergraduate Biological Engineering ProgramAbstractThis paper reports the first two phases of an on-going, multi-year project that seeks tocreate an integrated ethics curriculum for undergraduate Biological Engineering (BE)majors at a large, public university. Our objective is to create an exemplar process thatencourages engineering faculty members to contribute to, and develop ownership of, theethics curriculum.

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDAlmost two decades ago, the US National Academy of Engineering developed a list of the 20most significant and greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century which have had themost impact on the lives of people. Electrification, as supported by the electrical power grid, wasfirst on the list (compared to the Airplane, Telephone, and Internet which ranked 3rd, 9th, and13th respectively) [1]. Our century-old power grid is the largest interconnected machine onEarth, so massively complex and inextricably linked to human involvement and endeavor that it 1has alternatively
