ABET calls for an engineeringcurriculum where students learn how to communicate effectively, work on teams, problem solve,and understand how to gain new information when needed [1]. Similarly, the National Academiespaint the picture of ”the Engineer of 2020” who has skills in leadership, communication, andcreativity. The Engineer of 2020 practices resiliency, agility, and lifelong learning [2].

Traditional engineering ethics education has focused on case studies of past engineeringdisasters [1].In the business discipline an alternative viewpoint on ethics education has been articulated byMary Gentile [2]. She argues that students often have a strong ability to identify an ethicalchallenge, but they may not have the skills needed to articulate it in a professional context. Forengineering students, this implies that they can easily identify that they should not replicate pastdisasters by designing a bad bridge or flawed

As we developed, consumption of resources grew at a rate thatincreased faster than what nature could replenish. Now, the lack of natural resources has reachedan alarming point. The irony is that most resources are controlled by a few people and the majorpopulation has less access to it [1]. So, it has become important to change the way sustainablegrowth is viewed, and, along with economic prosperity, social mobility and environmentalprotection have also gained importance [2].

In addition to a new focus on studentoutcomes, ABET imposed a new course requirement; a culminating experience (a.k.a. capstone)to provide graduating students with awareness, knowledge and skills for solving the challengingreal-world problems that they would face in their careers [2]. The challenge for engineeringprograms became an issue of how to fulfill this new requirement.

Introduction:Office hours are a common feature of many university courses. A traditional model for hostingoffice hours involves a student showing up to a specific location, asking the instructor one ormore questions, and then leaving office hours.
