in the P-20 realm,individuals will be required to ethically decide the profit margins derived from emergenteducational processes. Innovative solutions are needed to address the rising cost of education. EngineeringTechnology programs were started as a cost effective and innovative method to fill neededtechnology positions within engineering technology job fields (Ford & Ball, 2011). P-20 leadersneed to be aware of policies that affect the ability to pay for college. The availability of grantsand federal loan programs help students to cover costs. However, there is data that suggestsWhite and Asian students benefit from these programs at a higher rate than underrepresentedminorities such as African American or Latino students (St
“ademonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems ismore important than [a candidate’s] undergraduate major.” More than 90% of those surveyedsaid that it is important that those they hire demonstrate ethical judgment and integrity;intercultural skills; and the capacity for continued new learning. Other motivators come fromsources such as Academically Adrift [1] and Creating Innovators [5] whose focus is on the needfor demonstrated learning on college campuses [1] and the need to create learning environmentsto foster collaboration and creativity, allowing for and embracing “failure” [5]. Nearly 40 faculty were selected through an application process to participate in whatwould eventually become the

Through our third yeardesign studio we successfully help prepare our students for the professional ahead.College Mission:The mission of the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture is to a deliver ahigh-quality education and prepare individuals for professional careers in engineering,technology, and architecture, or for further graduate studies. Preparing individuals tofunction as effective members of a global society, our programs promote technicalexcellence, reasoning ability, communication and interpersonal skills, and
Session ETD 425learning tool in an engineering ethics course over a period of three semesters. The videosconsisted of nine movies: 2 were Hollywood productions, 2 movies were produced by theNational Institute for Engineering Ethics (NIEE), and 5 were documentaries. The investigatorused questionnaires to discern how well students understood the videos, the extent to which thevideos helped students relate to key concepts in the course, and comments regarding theiropinions about the videos as a learning tool. The study concluded that the students viewed thevideos an effective learning tool in engineering ethics courses and that the use of videos based ona true-story is more effective in achieving the course outcomes than showing hypothetical
