sufficient design experience to be involved in design tasks with higherlevel of difficulty. As a practicing engineer, by virtue of his obligation to public safety,Brad found it difficult to continue to perform design tasks that he was not confident hecould do well. On the other hand, Brad wished to prove himself and show his employerthat he was doing his best to perform the design tasks he was assigned because he had alegitimate interest in preserving and promoting his own career. Between these twoconflicting desires, Brad is caught. As a fresh out of college young engineer, Brad wasfull of hope for a bright future and thought that an easy way out of his dilemma could beachieved by talking to his supervisor to ask that his design be reviewed and

The purpose of this work-in-progress is to develop a quantitative and qualitativeframework for assessing the effectiveness of ethics interventions in a first-year engineeringcourse at a four year engineering college in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US. This course wasdesigned to introduce students to engineering design principles and the basic skills needed to besuccessful in their future careers as both engineering students and professionals - including theability to recognize and resolve ethical dilemmas (that is, to perform ethical reasoning) insituations relevant to the engineering community. In particular, this study will examine how theethical reasoning of first-year students

In addition, themodule creates opportunities for students to explore ethical leadership topics they mightencounter in their professional careers as a community. We strived to make the module not onlya resource for developing ethical leaders but also for developing productive and successfulresearchers and professionals, and as an igniter for a community of emerging ethical leaders.ConclusionUpholding the standards of academic and professional engineering calls for

At the same time, D-Lab classesfeature instructors from a rich range of backgrounds – an instructor could be a socialentrepreneur, an industrial designer, a humanitarian aid worker, a public-school teacher, anengineer, a social scientist, or a coastal ecologist. D-Lab instructors have taken many pathsthrough their careers and bring complex, fascinating
], [6].Commercial success was based on Hyatt’s development of a technology for molding celluloid,and the use of the substance persisted until 1949, eventually replaced by newer, less flammableplastics. His machine has been hailed as a “direct forerunner” of modern injection molding [5].Hyatt’s invention foreshadowed a manufacturing revolution, starting with the successful launchof Bakelite in 1907, developed by Belgian-born scientist Leo Baekeland, who graduated from theUniversity of Ghent with a degree in chemistry and began work as an assistant professor. After ashort career of teaching pure chemistry, however, he discovered that he was more interested inapplications, and he and his new wife immigrated to the US in 1889, where he began work
