deterring and a major barrier to retention andsuccess in the profession.[5-10]Several factors have been identified as key challenges: (a) the lack of exposure to engineering orcomputer science as fields of study or as career opportunities [11], (b) the lack of professionalidentity (inability to see oneself as a professional) [7], (c) an impaired sense of belonging [12,13], and (d) the lack of self-efficacy (how well one can execute a course of action to deal with aprospective situation) [14]. Adding to the challenge is the rigor of engineering curriculum whichsubstantially contributes to high dropout rates from engineering [15], averaging at 50%, andranging from 60 to 67% for minorities [12, 16, 17]. These numbers are strongly driven by highfailure

This and other studies make a case for supplementing case studyinstruction with ethical instruction that is more closely tied with course content and every daydecisions [5,10,11,12]. The use of case study examples where there is a correct answer andwhere there is a clear tragic outcome or heroic action suggests that ethical decisions are a once ina career event of major consequence. Further, arriving at a conclusion purely through discussionof the case indicates that ethical decisions are a purely cognitive process, dismissing any intuitiveresponse. This approach is likely to

There is an urgent need for skilled engineers to transform the manufacturing industry.Successful organizational transformations depend on a better understanding of the capabilities andmethods that can help to deliver whole system change. According to the Manufacturing Institute,the manufacturing workforce is older and less educated relative to other sectors.
