Theprinciple which informs this position is: if it is in our power to prevent something bad fromhappening without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral significance, then we aughtto do it. Did the Ford engineers know that something “bad” was likely to happen? … They wereinvolved in producing a harmful product; i.e., they were involved in allowing others to beharmed.” [5] (Birsch, D: A study in ethics, technology and society, SUNY press, 1992)AcknowledgmentThe author wants to acknowledge the effect of positive reviews made by the reviewers.

It should be noted that CSD is the name given by Tinker AFB personnel to ademonstration part used in this system. However, the name of this part used in the officialTechnical Order is Constant Speed Mechanical Drive Mechanism. The fundamental objective ofthis environment is to help engineers, technicians, and professionals at Tinker AFB betterunderstand the required operations through an Internet-based learning environment.

Equally significant, the coursemaintains student participation in the technical curriculum and will therefore be likely toimprove student retention. Other students seeking Matlab instruction, additional problem-solvingdevelopment, or an introduction to elementary game programming are also invited to enroll. Thecourse has also been accepted as a technical elective for non-engineering majors but is notapplicable toward the college’s Engineering Technology or Engineering Science degrees.The structure, curriculum, and class project used in the initial offering of the course are presentedin this paper.

Therewas an urgent need to upgrade the equipment for all of the courses, due to significant changesand technical advances, which have taken place in the fluid power industry in recent years. Thisproposal was limited to the hydraulic motion control area. However, the proposed equipment,and procedures developed based on it, was to be used in all other fluid power courses.

Prusak 5 provides compilation of resultsof some studies on persistent underachievements of engineering and technology education in theprocess of teaching how to find core of a problem and solve it in a methodical way that enhanceschances of creating best solutions. The best solutions are again understood as solutions that arenot a result of optimization of the existing state of matter, but solutions stemming from thephysical or chemical core of the problem as described by basic principles of physics andchemistry.Historically, engineer has not been a synonym for inventor, but rather for creator 8.
