This paper proposes an ethical leadership development module that isembedded in a civil engineering graduate seminar course.Section one of this paper reviews two bodies of literature: ethical leadership (EL) and leadershipdevelopment in engineering (LDE). Our module design is guided by a theoretical model thatbridges these two bodies of literature. Section two presents the ethical leadership module in threeinterrelated aspects. First, we report the formulation of learning objectives based on literature onEL, LDE, as well as graduate engineering students’ educational and professional needs. Second,we discuss plans for directly

For a long time, economic growth and external charitable aid have been regarded as“panaceas” for poverty alleviation. Although there have been literature studies arguing thatthere is a clear positive correlation between economic growth and poverty alleviation, theempirical results show that there is a high heterogeneity between economic growth andpoverty reduction. Countries such as Georgia, Bangladesh, Peru, and Turkey have maintainedsustained economic growth throughout the year. However, there were little success in povertyalleviation. Simply relying on

Brad had faith that his approachin conveying his concern to his advisor would result in a satisfactory solution. Theunpleasant fact that Brad discovered later was that his designs were not reviewed orchecked, and that they were passed straight to contractors after being stamped by aprofessional engineer. Although, legally speaking, the engineer that stamped and signedthe plans assumed the responsibility related to the accuracy and compliance of the designwith applicable codes, Brad could not bear the thought that these were his designs and,due to lack of experience and sophistication, such designs

Next, we further clarifythe grounding in liberation as a complement to ethical, political, economic, and more familiarmodes of social thought. With that context set we then focus on the emergence of imaginalcapacity in struggles against oppression. Finally, the pilot curriculum is described and datacollection and analysis are discussed.2.
