The purpose of the CSI course is threefold: (i) toprepare students for the ethical challenges that they will face in their lives and careers, (ii) toexpose students to the different paradigms used by professionals from other fields, and (iii) toengage students with faculty who are at the forefront of their respective disciplines. The CSIcurriculum project was piloted in Fall 2008. Six SJSU faculty members, representing theColleges of Business, Science, Engineering, Applied

This program trains students to pursue practical solutions thatproactively promote peace and reduce the potential for disputes in a world plagued withproblems that require unconventional thinking to overcome. Students are exposed toinnovative approaches toward addressing multidimensional problems in addition togaining skill in economic, social, environmental, political, ethical, legal, cultural, andhistorical aspects associated with the effort of building enduring peace.

With a focus on pro- viding students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive. Teams apply a company’s core competencies to help develop new products and markets. This experien- tial learning emphasizes real-world problem solving, professional communication and ethics, teamwork, and implementation of a formalized design process. Additionally, Rogers has created the Social Innova- tion and Commercialization

These are:1) Safety is more often compromised and system accidents occur much more frequently thanwhat may be conveyed by the media;2) The pattern of occurrence of these accidents suggests an important role of education incontributing to the prevention of such accidents;3) The potential consequences of system accident, high casualty tolls, environmental damage,and economic losses, along with ethical/moral considerations, are strong incentives for a carefulinterest in accident prevention and system safety.

We have done similar activities with study sessions and visiting professors that haveshown an improvement in students asking for help on technical problems. We hope this willproduce similar results with writing.In addition to the discussion, students are required to write two papers during the secondsemester. The first is an individual paper on ethics, and the second is a team technical report ontheir engineering design project. For the ethics paper, students select an event in history wherepossible unethical decisions were made. As a pair, they research the topic, being sure to answer aset of five questions, present the topic in class any way they would like

However, there is no uniform time during students’ study forassessing students for the professional outcomes (MDE outcomes 4, 6 to 10 and 12).
