Students mayinvent alone or in groups, their choice of what to invent may be constrained or wide open, theymay share their inventions with classmates and teachers only, or with industry professionals anda wider audience outside their schools. Their inventions may be a physical product, an onlinetool or website, or something else entirely. A formal invention-focused curriculum may or maynot be used.

This ideal is widely regarded as being the ethical, moral, or simply the right thing todo. It resonates with most members of society including practicing and soon-to-be-practicingengineers of all disciplines.Although the above is recognized and accepted, today’s engineering students are given littleinstruction and guidance in their formal engineering educations about designing andmanufacturing safe products or about practicing engineering ethically. Most engineeringstudents are told
