He also has assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up

Studies have shown that going about teachingethics in this manner likely results in teaching “microethics”8 which lacks the broader context ofhow ethics impacts society as a whole.It is also noted that senior engineering students that are taking their capstone course are verybusy. The engineering capstone in our program is typical of other institutions in that it requires alarge time commitment from the students. They have projects to complete, numerous reports towrite, and presentations to prepare. It is likely that taking this ethics examination is not a highpriority in their list of things to complete so it may not be given the serious attempt that wewould hope from these

A Byrne Seminar is a one-credit course designed to introduce first-yearstudents at Rutgers-New Brunswick to academic life. Byrne Seminars are open to all first-yearstudents and are closed to all other students. Most Byrne Seminars tend to focus on a professor’sresearch interests where the students consider many of the same questions and issues the facultymember deals with in their research work. Each seminar is unique; some include work in alaboratory on campus, and others might require the completion of a creative group project.
