educators integrating ethicalreasoning content into their freshman engineering courses.Summary of ECE 121 (Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering)At the University of Alabama (UA), one-credit courses in the College of Engineering introducefirst-year students to their specific disciplines (e.g., mechanical, aerospace, chemical,electrical/computer, computer science). These courses focus on basic discipline-specificconcepts, along with assignments that raise student awareness of other key skills important forABET course requirements including design, ethics, computer simulations, and life-longlearning. Each department has developed its own version of this course, numbered 121, toexpose students earlier to their major discipline. This

The more that leadership and culture change is championed by top managementthe better, but it doesn‟t need to wait for the „boss‟. One case from our interviews gives a goodexample. Dan Jansen (1994) recalls his first significant leadership role in industry. He was a manufacturing engineer in an aerospace engineering company. A major aircraft project on which he was working was experiencing cost and schedule overruns. With that project completed, he was assigned to another project on the next generation product.
