Should this design/product be continued? Discontinued? Explain your answer. f. Which guiding ethical principle(s) applies here? Justify your answer.To be most effective, students should be required to choose a design/product/concept (DPC)whose impact (positive and negative) has yet to fully play out. In this form, students are given a Page 25.584.4fair amount of latitude regarding the topic of their analysis

pilot course complements the College’s first-year engineering projects course thatemphasizes a hands-on design-build-test cycle, so the students start with design requirements andend with a product. For the pilot course, students were required to scope an Engineering GrandChallenge(s), to reduce it to a manageable project, then to develop design requirements.Several of the module instructors created teams using the Comprehensive Assessment for Team-Member Effectiveness (CATME) TeamMaker tool.7 As stated, teams were guided in a four-week exercise to scope a project that applies the engineering discipline to a specific GrandChallenge, including some basic calculations for feasibility, cost estimates, and preliminarydesign requirements. The team

People who take initiative and gain energy frominteractions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer more of arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how a personprocesses information. A person who process data with their senses is referred to as a Sensors(S) and a person who sees where data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensorversus iNtuitor category is an interesting area of study when it comes to engineering education,because professors are historically intuitors while most engineering

After some discussion, we arrived at some possible reasons why thisoccurred.Design presentations have been in place in ECE since 1978, when it was first implemented insenior design. In the mid 1990’s the practice was integrated into sophomore and senior design.Because the practice has been in place in all three courses for almost 20 years, it has becomeinstitutionalized as a disciplinary genre in oral communication. Student familiarity with theexpectations of the presentation—the team approach and the prescribed time limit of 20minutes—may explain the minimal difference between project and control students’performances. In addition, when we examine all of the
