However, they don’t allow the child to explore indepth or make connections between math and science concepts which are an integral part of anengineer’s view of the world.A third approach, the “Drive into Engineering” model, puts the teachers and the students in themiddle of the engineering activity. The teachers have created the moment and then both groupsare immersed in it. For Douglas L.

cognitive building. Today, the graduates from manywell-known undergraduate engineering and technology programs are trained to concentrate onmachines rather than the human user’s well-being. Thus, one critical component in our teachingof ergonomics is to always bring students to the user, as other courses they have had in the pastmainly emphasize the issues of product functionality and product manufacturability. Theconsequences of missing the human element in engineering and technology education could bethe creation of mad scientists or evil engineers instead of a human-being with a balanced worldview and the ability to respect life.With the human-first idea in mind, the subjects covered in this module included both physical andcognitive ergonomics

The unique Engineering Clinic series leadsthe way of hands-on minds-on education, while many traditionally theoretical courses alsointroduced various projects to bring more hands-on flavor. Following this tradition, manynew courses were also proposed and introduced with heavy emphasis on projects and hands-on experience. In the spring 2004, the department of Mechanical Engineering of RowanUniversity developed a new breed of senior course, which is currently named “EmergingTopic – Designing and Building a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV)”.

ConclusionCase studies are a valuable resource for teaching ethics to engineering students. Expertssay that when using case studies to teach, it is most effective to use studies that create aconflict within the students' minds. As a result of this, they will be prodded to resolve theconflict. Learning to handle ethical dilemmas and making ethical decisions are veryimportant elements of being a professional engineer. The dilemma of reconcilingenvironmental justice issues and engineering ethics not only provides conflict but alsoprepares students for dealing with a major societal issue. Another positive aspect of thisapproach to teaching ethics to environmental engineers is the level of interest andenthusiasm students have shown for the subject

The topsix student choices of what engineers do are all rooted in activities that focus on construction,building, machinery, and vehicles, which suggests that students are
