Engineering Ethics

longitudinal, qualitative interviewdata from two distinct team members of a student design team at a large public Midwesternuniversity. These cases were selected as a subset of a larger qualitative data pool to develop aninitial understanding of the emergent nature of ethics and design. Case study research typicallyinvolves a deep inductive exploration of an emergent phenomenon and the underlying logics thatconnect relationships among and between related constructs5. Case and Light3 state case studyresearch also reveals the context dependent nature of knowledge. For the current study, we areinterested in the contextual influences of ethical reasoning and HCD understanding. Eisenhardtand Graebner5 liken case studies to laboratory experiments typically

class does not have a complementary laboratory component. This paperattempts to bridge this gap by presenting a basic yet comprehensive project that can be used todemonstrate amplitude modulation and demodulation theory. It is specifically designed to stir theinterest of junior or senior level electronics minded electrical engineering students. In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and

The misconducts were definedas respondent options according to the qualitative information collected in group interviews withstudents. There are student issues such as the free-rider problem that are highly prevalent in thestudent body, besides the act of signing the attendance list on someone’s behalf and cheating inactivities within a laboratory module. Furthermore, more
