environmental education of schoolchildren as well as in planning environmental science courses for engineering degree students.IntroductionAlthough one may argue that industrial production and technological progress have broughtabout the present day environmental crisis, it is the lack of social awareness and moralconsciousness with regard to the environment which hold the clue. The resolution ofenvironmental questions involves not only direct measures of political, social, scientific andtechnological nature but also actions dealing with the ethical and moral attitudes ofindividuals and the society as a whole. Environmental education is considered as an essentialinstrument towards creating a new universal ethic and consciousness in favor of

Engineering students are neither familiar nor prepared for discussion classes. 3. Discussion class is not convenient with big classes more than fifteen students. 4. Students should have a considerable background of the subject to be discussed. 5. The class could be ineffective if the students are youthful mentally or behaviorally. Also, it is advantageous to exploit discussion periods to conduct ethical problems thatengineers need in their professional life. Besides, it helps the instructor to improve the attitudeof the students through the discussion and through the

President ofMitsubishi, Katsuhiko Kawasoe, said that “the problem was the lack of conscienceamong our employees” (8). But isn’t it the management’s responsibility to set theexample and set up measures of accountability?There is little need to explain why a solid ethical foundation is an important strategic toolin the area of quality assurance. To ignore ethics is to run a very high risk, both in humanand in financial terms (4).

However, studies of team function over time show that – as expected – teameffectiveness may vary over the duration of a long project. While capstone design is far lessintense than long duration space missions (although students may claim otherwise), studies of theperformance over time of teams operating in extreme situations has shown that crews’ abilities tothink divergently and make choices as a group decreased over time, while ethical decisionmaking and ability to execute tasks stayed relatively constant and increased, respectively
