creativity, there is also an increasingneed for faculty to educate students on the ethical implications and environmental consequencesof the tasks they perform as future engineers. The faculty has to balance this with other dutiessuch as scholarly development, accreditation, committee assignments, and other servicerequirements. In short, to be successful it is imperative that the engineering faculty acquire andpossess strong management expertise along with varied technical skills.Typically, all faculty members in universities have certain common responsibilities such ashaving to commit themselves to their teaching obligations; participate in the development of theprograms of their departments and schools and of the university as a whole, engage in

"newCarnegie report...reinforces those warnings." The report indicates "that a widespread emphasison theory over practice...discourages many potential students while leaving graduates with toolittle exposure to real-world problems and ethical dilemmas." While "millions of dollars" havebeen offered "through a coalition of universities to try to break up old styles of teaching," manyschools "still couldn't overcome the 'cultural issue of change' among faculty members." Therehave been some successes, however. Georgia Tech's biomedical engineering program uses a"problem-based approach" that "helps attract and teach many types of engineering students,especially women, who have been traditionally reluctant to consider engineering."Students too are voicing

This course iscomparable to any other “Introduction to Engineering” course taught in virtually everyengineering program and covers such topics as career opportunities, survival skills, team work,communications, ethical practices.
