Topics covered include the scientific method, ethics in research,documentation and treatment of research data, publication practices, presentation of results, thestructure of the broader research community, the graduate school application process, effectivepresentations, and abstract writing. The “learning objects” (videos, readings, case studies, anddiscussion activities) we created have been used to introduce undergraduates to the conduct ofscience and engineering research. These resources have been tested in formal classroom andseminar venues, through an “Introduction to Engineering Research” course in our EngineeringPhysics bachelor’s degree program and a

Society of Professional Engineer ethics creed5 isintroduced: “…I dedicate my professional knowledge and skill to the advancement andbetterment of human welfare.” Like many other professional society ethics statements, engineersidentify service to humankind as their greater purpose. If engineering students are trained to be“problem solvers,” why not present the world’s problems as challenges for our engineers totackle?One of the most effective ways used to raise the awareness of global issues for students is toassign reading articles from mainstream publications, such as Time magazine and TechnologyReview. Some special issues of Time address the environment (“How to Save the Earth”)6 andpoverty (“How to End Poverty”).7 Students welcome the

English, history, social sciences and the fine arts. At UAB,these state-mandated core curriculum classes take up more than a quarter (36/128) of the creditsthat are required for an engineering degree, but most are entirely unrelated to the students’chosen area of study. Meanwhile, engineering departments across the country wrestle with howto address necessary issues like communication, ethics and sustainability in their curriculumwithout sacrificing existing technical content. One possible solution is to partner with thehumanities faculty who are teaching required core classes to create new courses that betterengage students and help them understand the relevance of the other disciplines to their work andidentity as engineers.The history of

It might be a field I study in grad school  I thought it was very interesting, it taught us more about the ethical side of engineering decisions. Especially the green design section.  I think it is a good idea because as engineers we need to consider how our actions might affect Earth and the generations that come after us.Some examples of more neutral response are shown below:  Unopposed, but it didn’t help the

Additionally, challenges brought on by the overuse of natural resources put a specialresponsibility on materials science and engineering (MSE) faculty, whose role it is to assist inshaping the MSE profession. How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered. In particular, we have emphasized mastery at the lower levels toincrease retention, and implemented a number of learning “best

musical instrument design focus is the popular debateabout the “secrets” of Stradivarius violins, although the answer to that debate is much less clearfrom a materials science point of view. Another significant difference between the two focusareas is that ethics and recalls are easily connected to biomedical devices in accessible andpersonally meaningful ways. When the musical instrument approach was used, other unrelatedcase studies, such as the loss of Alaska Air Flight 261 (a deeply meaningful one in our region),were used, for these course dimensions. So, no comparisons are possible in the ethics SLOs.Figure 9 compares student outcomes in several conceptual areas before and after the use ofbiomedical devices were used as a foundation for

Maslow targeted engineering education in 1971, noting that “wemust teach and train engineers not in the old and standard sense,” but in a manner that enablesthem to confront novelty, to improvise, and to gain comfort with change.4 The NationalAcademies recently echoed these decades-old sentiments and included creativity as a necessaryattribute of the “technically proficient engineers who are broadly educated, see themselves asglobal citizens, can be leaders in business and public service, and who are ethically grounded.”3The
