Having little influenceover these issues, university education must take advantages brought by the other side of some ofthese problems. Lack of interest in group work and lack of respect for authority do have somepositive notion in them. They are typically associated with principles of western culture, such asindependence, individualism and self-reliance. The overlying challenge for engineering educators ishow to harness these positive personal characteristics into skills of team work, efficientcommunication and high work ethic which are among the skills

professionalsocieties generally adopt a code of ethics to guide their membership. A code of ethics shouldeventually be adopted for ecological engineering.The second sticking point then, is if we decide to include a statement of values in the definition,what values should we express? This is a hot topic, but concepts such as human benefit,sustainability, and ecological health and integrity are often mentioned in the literature. For now,the statement of values in the definition of ecological engineering will be most accepted if itappeals to a plurality of value frameworks.7Program ScopeWe have defined ecological engineering broadly and advocate its application to a number ofproblem areas. Potential applications include: 1. The design of ecological systems

the FTX collapse as a case study through which students can deliberate onthese issues.IntroductionWhen I started following the rapid collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange in November2022, I was already considering the possibility of a case study for my engineering students.Students at my institution (and, I suspect, elsewhere) had been enthusiastic about investments incryptocurrency, even forming an official school club. I thought that studying a spectacular failurein crypto might leverage students’ interests in the manner of other case studies in engineeringethics and communication, such as the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle tragedies. I oftendevelop lessons out of such news stories when they lead with an obvious ethical lapse

In other words,the language of RRI assumes a very different kind of relationship between actors than does thelanguage of regulation. An awareness of the power of analogies can heighten our sensibilitiesregarding the linguistic choices we habitually make.Where analogical imagination refers to the context evoked by a particular choice of words,analogical reasoning is a form of critical thinking in which we make an implicit comparisonexplicit and explore how the

Lastly, research suggests that PSTs recognize both the benefits,like improving student engagement and personalized learning, and the challenges posed bytechnical difficulties or the complexity of interspersing these technologies in their STEMclassrooms.

Rather than simply providing students with acompiled list of security tools, it’s important to provide a structured lab environment in whichstudents can safely practice and develop information security techniques.

This illustrates a tactic that webelieve is critical to the success of engineering curricula in general: students know that what wespend time doing is important. If we pay lip service to ethics, writing, computer use, synthesis,and oral communication skills, and focus our classes on analysis, then our students come tobelieve that engineering is

And yet, nursing is NOT recognized as a STEMprofession by many federal agencies. Why not [3] [4]? Nursing is clearly based in science (e.g.chemistry is necessary for understanding pharmacology). Nursing clearly uses math (e.g.appropriate dosage of medicines requires calculations). And like engineering, nursing is aprofession that cares for the public. In fact, the code of ethics of nursing specifically calls for thecare of every patient – whether an individual, family, group, population, or community [5].Nursing is unique among the healthcare professions in that its code of ethics explicitly mentionsBOTH
