and computer science. Similarly, one wouldhave to be willful to miss an equally steady drumbeat of calls for improved ethics in engineeringand computer science education.However, one can make the argument that simply offering new or more content related to ethicsin engineering education is not enough. With an eye on engineering a response to these issues,we propose that systemic changes are warranted including who presents and guides ethicscontent, how students are brought face-to-face with ethics and how ethics content is threadedinto a curriculum, and how the real and existential outcomes of engineering decisions areassessed both in design stages and in professional applications.This case study report describes efforts to introduce ethics

The TAs hold office hours, grade assignments, “functioning at the level of efficiencyand expertise of the instructor, especially as it relates to providing thoughtful written feedback”[24]. This interaction is especially important in mathematics or programming courses, whereworking problems is an important part of the curriculum.

reasoningoutcomes, we turn to ways in which instructors can incorporate ethics into individual courses.Teaching students to analyze situations by applying normative ethical frameworks has long been avaluable strategy in ethics instruction and one which allows students to analyze a variety ofsituations they may find themselves in over the course of their professional careers. In response tothe need to integrate ethics education into a packed technical curriculum as well as facultytrepidation when teaching ethics, we present a series of readings designed to provide studentswith an engaging fictional scenario to serve as a basis for discussing ethical dilemmas in a contentdriven course.Science fiction has long served as a venue for writers to experiment with

The HET is used for many modern space applications, fromstation-keeping on small satellites to long-term travel to faraway asteroids.Electric propulsion, and specifically the HET, integrates many concepts that are fundamental in anundergraduate education such as electricity and magnetism (E&M), material properties, thermalanalysis, and laboratory experimentation. However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this

Admission to the co-design year was competitive, with an acceptance rate of 14%.Students ultimately received a half-year of elective credit for their participation in the year.The co-design approach was inspired by the partner year at Olin College, which was an earlycollaborator in the establishment of the institution.

The unique topics examined in thispaper are the methods used to teach FEA to develop skills for accurate analysis andreporting of results in a format required by industry professionals.Common modeling errors are discussed in this paper, such as element selection whichcan greatly affect the outcome of the analysis. Too often, a new analyst will apply meshesto the model without understanding why proper element selection is important.
