It isthen we conduct an “Unanticipated Moral Query.” There are several questions to beasked of students when they feel they have to make a major decision in their engineeringcareers. Questions such as: If this was my business, would I make the same decision? Ifmy action faced public scrutiny, would I be ashamed? Would it be acceptable forsomeone else to treat you in the same manner? How would you handle this situation ifyou knew the other person would find out? Would you treat this person this way if he/shewere a family member or friend? If you were going to purchase and

In an effort to introduce diversity in design andto troubleshoot the concept of the universal user, we adapted the display compatibilityquestionnaire from Smith’s study of display-control stereotype designs, and presented the samedesign questions to 21st century first-year engineering students, non-engineering students, andnon-engineering professionals. This work explores current societal impacts such as gender, age,and occupation on the user expectation of a control’s display and user-interface design.Additionally, the

Example applications of negotiation in project management include: definition of project scope; development of budget and schedule; management of conflict between team members; analysis of requests for changes to scope, schedule, cost, and specifications; handling results of project audits; and
