Most three year topics remain at approximately the samenumber of credit hours as the average four year program. The CE (Civil Engineer) seminarcourse is designed to cover professional issues in engineering listed in the EAC-ABET civilengineering program criteria including business, public policy, leadership, professional ethics,licensure, and professionalism.

In one paper, George Catalano and Caroline Baillie explored the influence thatengineers have on justice and peace, concluding that engineering ethics should be expanded tothe overall social impact a product of engineering creates [8]. Catalano explores this further byexamining engineering ethics as described within different professional engineeringorganizations. He poses that the main issue with engineering ethics is the demand that anengineer should work to protect the public without a specific definition of who that includes.Rather, the author

students’ understanding. Ethics, for example, is often taught in civilengineering through the use of case studies. Further, case studies offer an opportunity forinterdisciplinary discussions centered on human dignity and justice goals [8] and likewisedevelop empathy for the users impacted by the project. Empathy is increasingly beingrecognized for the central role it may play in connecting crucial inter- and intrapersonal skillswith enhanced abilities to understand and productively work in multidisciplinary environmentswith diverse stakeholder groups [9]. Finally, some professors may not feel comfortable directlydiscussing race and related topics within an otherwise technical classroom environment; casestudies allow the emphasis to be taken off of

The coursewas developed based on input from the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand(IPENZ). Unlike in the U.S., an engineering degree in New Zealand does not require asubstantial general education component. Course topics include engineering history,investigation of failure cases, teamwork, ethics, risk management, and engineering today andtomorrow. This paper details the development of the course to date and its associatedassessments, and discusses lessons learnt in teaching professional engineering skills in thisformat. It also compares

on Undergraduate Research, undergraduate research is defined as “aninquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an originalintellectual or creative contribution to the discipline [1].” As stated in literature, undergraduateswho conduct research show improvements in thinking independently, thinking critically, puttingideas together, solving problems, analyzing data, analyzing literature, interpreting researchfindings, conducting ethical research, writing and communicating [2-9]. Literature also assertsthat it is rare for students to have enough opportunity to gain higher-order thinking skills fromtheir undergraduate research experiences [10].Students involved in undergraduate research also report outcomes that may
