Evaluate Student Work in a Senior Level Professional Issues CourseAbstractThis paper describes a customization of the Engineering Professional Skills Assessment (EPSA)method within the ‘ethics’ section of a senior level “Professional Issues” course. The courseinstructors have found the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios to generate more enthusiastic andhigher level discussion than case studies that focus solely on ethics. The paper describes use oftwo different EPSA scenarios, the standardized questions which are used to prompt the studentdiscussion, the EPSA rubric, and recommended facilitation plan for adoption by others.IntroductionEngineering programs often contain a senior level “Professional Issues” course to cover
including prevalence[11, 12, 13, and 14]; motivations [15]; personal characteristics and attitudes of perpetrators [12,16, and 17]; detection [14]; deterrence [15, and 18] and the correlation between academicdishonesty and the students’ ethical behaviors going forward into their careers [19]. Many ofthese studies [11, 15, 16 and 17] have used surveys of students and/or faculty as the main sourceof data. Anyanwu [20] provides case studies that indicate that plagiarism may often be a result ofstudents’ failure to understand the rules of proper citation. Others concentrate on academicdishonesty in laboratory setting [13] or in test taking [11, 16, and 17] or consider a wide range offorms of academic dishonesty in the aggregate [15].Some studies [15

evaluations are very similar to the self-evaluation scores made by the students. Also of note are the highest scores provided by employers on both surveys were in the area of integrity, professionalism and ethics.

corporate finance andbusiness ethics. The simulation experience approach creates a scenario that resembles a realworld entrepreneurial experience. They are designed to address some of the process-orientedskills that are required. The entrepreneur personality is based on the assertion that entrepreneurshave distinctive personality traits that others can learn. Wilfing etal [6] identifies the big fivepersonal traits of successful entrepreneurs.Having thus seen the views and approaches to entrepreneurship the question is which approachwould be more suitable for engineering students as part of a Design and Manufacturing Labcourse. Cassel [7] states that the courses should be approached from the perspective of thestudent whose primary interest is in
PI inthe construction industry, by answering whether several scenarios represent a violation of PI ornot. The third survey in the series attempted to investigate whether the students could link theviolations of AI to their equivalent violations of PI. The time between the surveys was between 1to 2 weeks and students from all undergraduate levels were surveyed.Key Words: Academic Integrity, Professional Integrity, Ethics, Construction Page 24.822.2IntroductionIt is evident that academic integrity violations are commonplace in almost all universities in theUS and other countries1. Several studies have been published that show student’s views on
