Duringthe past several years, a project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) has focusedon the implementation of failure case studies into engineering curricula. Work has focused ondeveloping teaching resources on a wide variety of failure cases for faculty to utilize in a varietyof undergraduate engineering courses1, 2, 3. The project has extended from the lead institution,Cleveland State University, to eleven other university partners, including the university of thelead author, the University of North

Thus, an “Ethics Workshop”, design by the instructor, wasconducted, emphasizing case studies. Ethics component were included within theobjectives and the topics of this course.Course Assessment and Results: Since five of the eight course outcomes measuredachieved a satisfactory level, it is concluded that the course needs adequate equipment(wind turbines) and a higher quality textbook should be adopted to maximize

Thistype of issue is common in academic settings for low-stake assignments because little to noproctoring is available, the students proctor their own learning, and students are encouraged towork in groups. The LMS submission data may provide additional information to determine thedifference between group sharing and individual coping and is left for future work andevaluation. These results may be an indication of the work ethic of different students in theclass. Students with a high work ethic perform better and work harder to learn the material andsubmit their own work.
