The students then submit aformal report, including a written section describing the project, CAD drawings, analyses, codechecks, and a summary comparing specifications to finished structure.ConclusionThis paper has presented an approach used at the University of Tennessee at Martin to integratedesign content throughout the curriculum. “Formal” design courses are used to conveyinformation about the design process, project management, patents, ethics, and engineeringgraphics.

These activities, as performed in the senior designcourse at Vanderbilt University1,2 are outlined in this paper.Some of the methods employed include more traditional statistics, case studies and special topiclectures.

a false sense of progress in affirmative action by hiring the foreign-born intoaffirmative action positions, a result of this strategy has been the decrease in efforts to nurture andattract women and minorities in to engineering graduate programs and, eventually, intoengineering academic careers. Since legally, permanent residents are entitled to the sameaffirmative action opportunities as citizens, the only real way to close this loophole is to raise theawareness of the academic community and to ask administrators not to use this loophole from amoral and ethical standing. I hope that this paper can contribute to raising this awareness.CRAIG W. SOMERTONCraig W. Somerton is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State

the roles played by industry,government, and academe in technology development have not only changed, but have becomemore complex. Industry has developed educational programs to train their employees in skillsthat directly impact their job responsibilities, universities have placed more emphasis on thegeneration and capitalization of intellectual property rights, and government has encouragedindustry-academic partnerships that are intended to address the needs of local and nationaleconomies.The ability of research universities to commercialize new developments through technologytransfer has shown a significant increase.

SVSU attempts to include all of these aspects that should be includedin an ABET accredited capstone design course2. Inherently capstone design projects challenge thestudents in the above ways.

To this end, I give an early readingassignment in Statics - Vicky Hendley’s article, “The Importance of Failure.”1 In the article,Hendley lists examples of failures that led to great successes, discusses the importance of learningfrom failure, and introduces issues in ethics and professional responsibility. By noting that amistake offers more opportunities for learning than a successful answer, students are less likely tobe averse to examining their mistakes.Henry Petroski writes, “Treating every case of failure as an opportunity to test hypotheses,whether imbedded in design or in theories about the nature and process of engineering itself,makes even the most ancient of case studies immediately

” In contrast, case studies have not been so popular in technical subject areas,except as an occasional story told by an instructor. Engineering is often considered astudy of concepts, principles and scientific phenomena. On the surface, this situationappears to demand single path solutions with correct answers. However, Fitzgerald 5 hasdocumented a handful of case develop projects for engineering education. These early adopters of engineering case studies saw the value of fact-drivencases, which have multiple solutions because of insufficient date or emotions areinvolved, and business, ethical or political decisions are at stake. These cases can bringmuch needed realism to the classroom. They provide a context for the application

Inother words, the public debate and trust which is fading away, is that the educational system as awhole is disconnected from the professional ethics, students and society’s needs and equallyimportant the perspective of international issues.Institutions of higher education, for most part and until recently, have been non-profitorganizations with classroom settings, and educational policies based on input. However, the21st century, with a promise of access at anytime, anywhere, and anyhow, it is necessary toevaluate the success of these policies on output. By and large, institutions are too slow, andperhaps too old fashioned, to respond to change in a timely manner.Wenk1 asserts, “If engineering is to be practiced as a profession, and

Students write about the cultural literacies engineers face in the professional world.Our third then focuses on one particular literacy for engineers (both students and professionals),that of ethics. Our last paper, a team paper, asks students to explain how their design for anengineering project demonstrates that they have employed ethics. This sequenced approachallows the students to grasp the notion of multiple literacies and the changes they need to maketo succeed as a student and as a professional.Background to the Assignment The first assignment is particularly helpful to students because it allows students toexplore in writing the various demands made of them by their different
