, not falsifyingwork, acting with integrity, not misleading coworkers or supervisors, etc. A couple of studentsemphasized the “if you get caught” aspect of violating ethical behavior. The most commonresponse was “Do not copy someone else’s work” and a couple of honest individuals stated thatthey had “no clue” what constituted an official definition of professional ethics. One otherstudent took a stance that professional ethics wasn’t really part of the academic program neededfor preparing for the workplace. It’s also interesting to note that most students focused on thenegative aspect, as in listing the things not to do, as opposed to having an overall philosophy ofwhat is entailed in behaving ethically. They all seemed to understand that a

Incorporating professional ethics into an already crowdedengineering curriculum can be difficult. The engineering faculty at the United StatesCoast Guard Academy (USCGA) have implemented a multi-disciplinary approach toteaching ethics outside of the classroom environment. Our “Engineering Ethics Lunches”bring students and faculty from all four engineering disciplines: Electrical, Civil,Mechanical and Naval Architecture/Marine Engineering together in small groups todiscuss ethics

Subsequent Page 13.1299.2to the EC 2000 implementation, the engineering education literature has generated a largevolume of material that discusses a variety of pedagogical methods and curriculum integrationmethods 1, 2, 6, 8, 9. However, the literature appears to be lacking in long-term studies of trends inethical judgment among engineering students.Much of the instructional material

We seek to examine how best to insert these criteria ofsustainability into our

commercial implementations need new training in ethicsbefore developing the applications for global and distributed geographies. For the pastfew decades most computer users in the test measurement and analysis fields have beentrying and relying on the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over Transmission ControlProtocol (TCP), but TCP though reliable requires an acknowledgement and produceslong round trip time as well as possibility of infiltration when in wireless mode or cyberspace. This should be as much a topic of ethics in computer communication andengineering field but also in computer science education in cyber security. Research shows that the supply of materials and research workers in U.SMechanical Engineering is slipping since 1999, a
