, there is a concerted effort to ensure the student only experiences the same case study(when applicable) only once during their four-year program in the department. This approachensures students experience the full spectrum of formal ethics instruction. This paper reveals thisUniversity’s creative approach teaching ethics, using the aforementioned techniques.IntroductionAt this university, both Electrical (EE) and Computer (COE) engineering programs areaccredited through ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc).

Stewart Slater, Rowan University Page 13.685.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Illustrating bioseparations using colorful proteinsAbstractThe field of chemical engineering is undergoing a rapid change. Advances in biology areprompting new discoveries in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical technology, andchemical industries. Developing commercial-scale processes based on these advances requiresthat new chemical engineers clearly understand the biochemical principles behind thetechnology, in addition to
factors and forces have contributed to this shift in mechanical engineeringundergraduate program direction. This paper is responsive to those forces tending to reassertintegrated design and formation for the new millenium.There are a few engineering programs which contain a solid basis in plastic product design. Mostnotable of the research-level universities is the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Theirengineering college has an entire department devoted to plastics engineering1. Though theircurriculum shows a predominance of rheology-oriented coursework, there are at least two classesdevoted to plastic product design at the undergraduate level.There are several engineering technology-oriented programs with a healthy emphasis on

Recently the Collegeembraced an interdisciplinary program “Converging Technologies” that integrates crosscurricula material into existing core engineering and liberal arts programs. We have developed an undergraduate course “Frontiers of Nanotechnology andNanomaterials” aimed at
those majoring in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics. There are also many programs that support the participation ofcollege professors.

analysis points to concrete actions that companies can take to address aspects of theirinternship experiences related to enhancing recognition. Managers of interns should criticallyconsider the type of work interns are performing and ensure that it is technical, challenging, andimpactful. Training and carefully assigning mentors and/or supervisors that will support internsin performing and achieving success in the technical aspects of their work is also important. For both companies and institutions, asking and listening to FGLI students about theirinternship experiences in explicit conversations will aid in centering the importance of theinternship experience in the engineering and technology field and guide directions for policymaking
