AC 2012-3134: ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT WITHIN AN UNDER-GRADUATE BACHELOR’S OF ENGINEERING (HONOURS) PROGRAMMEDr. Maxwell Reid, Auckland University of Technology Maxwell Reid lectures in telecommunications engineering, computer network engineering, engineering management, ethics, and sustainability. He has researched and published on ethics and sustainability in engineering education, technology education, the role of a university as a critic and conscience of society, the need for an engineering code of ethics, and the principles of ethical and values-based decision-making in engineering. He has also published on effective teaching methodologies for engineering education in the post-modern period. Reid is the Deputy

The discussion is presented using the affective domain ofeducational outcomes in Bloom’s taxonomy combined with methods to establish teaching andlearning tasks which will strengthen the student’s belief in the value of the methods about whichthey are learning.Role of Affective DomainThe affective domain concerns the issues of feelings and values. In relation to systemsengineering education the authors have, in discussion with various educators and practitioners,often encountered the view that the affective domain concerns how the individual addresses theinterpersonal issues of conducting their professional work or the area of professional ethics, inwhich there is a clear association with the value system adhered to by the individual

programs respond to questions about the inclusion and coverage of the topics of ethics,corporate social responsibility, and sustainability at their institutions. In terms of sustainabilitythey found that one third of these schools require all three topics as part of the MBA program,and there is a trend toward the inclusion of sustainability-related courses. Also, that several ofthese schools are teaching these topics using experiential learning and immersion techniques.The World Resources Institute and the Aspen Institute annually publishes a list of the top 100full-time MBA programs that integrate environmental and social content into the curriculum (seewebsite at http://beyondgreypinstripes.org/rankings/index.cfm).

To achieve the objective, theSSE program should provide students with a fundamental knowledge of civil, electrical,mechanical, environmental engineering and social science, such as economics and politicalscience. The leadership of engineers requires students to establish the competence ofresponsibility, integrity, ethics, proactivity and communication skills.Systems engineering is a shifted paradigm from traditional engineering approaches. This methodfocuses on engineering solutions from a broader perspective that includes optimizationparameters, long term lifecycle analysis and advanced methods to characterize and solvecomplex problems

Students learned key topics related to spacecraft and mission design, includingrequirements development, trade studies, the project life cycle, system hierarchy, risk analysis, andcost analysis. The concepts presented in this course were demonstrated with examples from recentspace missions. The students were exposed to concepts regarding team organization, designfundamentals, and work ethics. These topics are in preparation for the capstone design courseexperience. They learn that systems engineering is iterative and develop judgment that will allowthem to compare and evaluate engineering alternatives. They learn to discuss systems engineeringmethods and processes as well as engage in systems thinking

The nature of aircraft design project;complexity, multidisciplinary, and various constraints; suggests that the systems engineeringapproach to be the best candidate. However, the systems engineering implementation is morechallenging than understanding the system engineering process.

Only oneof the students explicitly discusses collaboration between subjects at length, and that isMadeline, one of the teachers with a background in the social sciences. Madeline andGwladys, the two social-science teachers, are also those who have included the most elaborateexercises regarding ethics and politics. This is taught in the form of debates and discussions,where normative assertions are measured against each other. For the teachers withoutschooling in the social sciences, it may be difficult to see how social and political aspects canbe made relevant in the technology subject, even though this had repeatedly been discussedduring seminars and described in the course’s literature

Research advocates integrating courses fromnot only the technical curriculum but also general education curriculum as well.6 Withinengineering programs, this coupling of technical and professional topics is apparent.
