Thus obtainedjob descriptions were classified into knowledge, skills and working ethics as shown inTable 1. The data collected from these websites served as the base for externalcustomers’ voice which helped to initiate the HOQ for external customers. Table1.

groups.ConclusionsEngineering’s past history for invention of both products and processes has served this countrywell for over two hundred years but the recent confluence of events is suggesting that theengineering profession can, and should, do more. Hallmarks of these changes will hopefully benot only increased invention but also the implementation of that invention, or innovation.Successful innovation requires leadership, and, in perhaps a biased view, that leadership shouldcome from engineers whom have the technical insight and ethical courage to solve the grandchallenges facing this planet for the benefit of all her inhabitants. We can no longer leave ourfate entirely in the hands of those that are often non-technically educated. Engineers must takeleadership roles

The catalog, during these years, has amounted to over 200 different courses.Due to its own market research, the Department itself has created courses which range fromcommunications, to applied computer software; from reengineering to the Japanese language;from ethics to computer-aided education; from GPS to energy savings. And soon it becameevident that professors, participating as “students”, had many deficiencies in their professionalstraining, such as:1. a lack of appropriate oral and writing skills;2. a very poor orthography, unacceptable in professionals;3. a very poor vocabulary, specially in the humanities area; and4. a very poor and insufficient preparation, for historical, philosophical

crucialmechanism by which U.S. engineering education settings have grappled with unwanted politicalsensibilities is through silencing. There is an enduring sense that rigorous, respectableengineering training, as well as engineering in action, from the technical classroom, at the labbench, or on the factory floor must exclude the subjectivities we know as “politics.” This isdespite the concession by some that value systems known as “ethics” or “rigor” may (must) bebolstered [26], [27]. Across many technical subdisciplines, so-named ethics and other liabilitysystems are today seen to represent the universe of Engineers’ moral responsibilities in itsentirety.

By uploading nameless lab reports to a LLM through an APIinterface, the system efficiently identifies and highlights segments that align closely with specificrubric items. This process is designed to isolate the most relevant sections of each report,providing a preliminary guide for human graders. The aim is to enhance grading efficiency andconsistency

These canbe defined as an individual’s action or reaction to either an external or internal stimuli. In theengineering context, behavior is seen as the manifestation (i.e., application) of what the studenthas learned through an educational intervention. In essence, behavioral aspects are those skillsengineering students possess.
