faster way and in a larger community. For engineers, the decisionprocess is even more complex once the implications have serious impact not only to the targetcustomers but also to the society as a whole and to the environment. This is an aspect that showsthe necessity for engineers to search for the acquisition of an ability to respond to socialnecessities having in mind the cultural aspects when developing a project.The effects of this aspect in engineering formation implies a different approach providing thefuture engineers a notion about policy, ethics and social sciences, which are so important toprepare them to the future work market that will require the respect and promotion of society andenvironment as assets1.Most of social groups have

They claim that: a professor should not have any casualrelationships with students, and such relationships “conflict with our fundamentalobligations as faculty members,(4) and the ethics of the relationship require that thefaculty member remains “dispassionate,” avoiding any appearance of partiality. Thefaculty member should “not seek to be their psychiatrist, friend, or lover.” (5) While someof us may agree about the psychiatrist and lover part, many of us do not agree thatfriendship between students and faculty members has ill effects and should not

Schools should blend new educationaldelivery methods with their traditional, hands-on model to make residentialeducation even more effective. Ideally, by adopting the new technologies to helpimprove education, the cost of residential education can be lowered whilesimultaneously improving its quality (Reif, 2012).Universities and colleges should act and
