Thus, one of the main objectives of this project was todelivery a high quality Statics class to community college students over the Internet. Ifsuccessful, then other courses could also be developed and delivered to those students that do nothave an opportunity to take the class at their local school for whatever reason. While communitycolleges are the main target, online engineering classes can also help students in larger 4-yearengineering programs by providing an alternative for on-campus students with scheduling issues,interns and coop students, or students in the military to start or continue their engineeringeducation..For comparison purposes, two

BOK Outcome 12 is logically addressed in the advanced level criteria, because it requires advanced, specialized knowledge. BOK Outcomes 13 through 15, however, might reasonably be addressed at either the basic or advanced level. These professional practice topics— project management, construction management, asset management, business, public policy and administration, and leadership—could logically be integrated into the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum or offered as part of a professional practice- oriented master’s program.

During the remainder of the semester, the students workin teams on a specific technology assessment project in which they research an important publicpolicy problem with significant technical components, and develop policy options for solving

Vail and Robert Lane, who encouraged Tesla to patent his arc lighting system so theycould commercialize it. Tesla unwisely assigned the patents to this shifty pair, trustingthat they would manufacture equipment and compete with Edison. Vail and Lane,however, decided that the real financial opportunity lay in running a lighting company,not manufacturing equipment.21 Once Tesla had his arc lighting system running inRahway, his backers fired him and reorganized the firm. Abandoned by his patrons,Tesla fell on hard times and was forced to dig ditches.22

Alternatively,the relationship may be strictly correlational such that there are a set of common personal andsituational variables found in both the academic and professional settings that influence aparticular individual’s decision to engage in unethical behavior.To understand what motivates a student’s decision to engage in unethical behavior in college andthe connection between this behavior and future unethical behavior in professional practice, theauthors undertook the Work Experience Study (WES) as part of a larger research project.
