By2009, the only element of my courses that was not online was the exams. An accreditationvisit was coming up, and I knew that online exams would make it easier to tie specificquestions to specific learning objectives and show how well the objectives were being met.Inspired by a favorable report [1] from a moderately large study, I decided to experimentwith online exams.I had used the online testing system WebAssign for quizzing in my online Ethics inComputing course for

of materials on the Internet, there isalso the ever-present danger of plagiarism. Consequently, the instructor should clearlyexplain the ethical and judicial repercussions of plagiarism. This will hopefully guide thestudents to police their own practices.10 Because OEPs require the students to doindependent study on the subject and to define a unique idea using limited knowledge,another good resource is the US patent database. Because each patent must have at leastone cookbook-type recipe concerning how to implement the idea, this makes patents avaluable source for students working on OEPs. However, in the case of patents theinstructor needs to very carefully guide the students in their selection of good qualitypatents. Even though most high

contribute to understanding. It isappropriate to set aeronautical education in the context of aerospace product development forseveral reasons. First, it is what our graduates will do when they graduate. It culturally preparesthem for the activities of engineering, and excites them by satisfying their desire to perform theroles of an engineer. Secondly, it aids in teaching the skills that they will need in the workplace.If we are to teach students to communicate and work in teams, and especially to act ethically andcreatively, it is far easier to impart this understanding while working on authentic engineeringactivities. Finally, and most subtly, learning in context better supports the learning of the criticalaeronautics core competencies

For example, in a textbook intended to guideengineering students in the design of community-based service-learning projects instructsstudents that “.. people should be involved in the engineering process. You should always knowyour community partner, your stakeholders …. and their needs and desires. Frame yourengineering project within these parameters, and work with these groups throughout the project.”The text goes on to talk about understanding the project from historical, cultural, ethical, societal,educational

For example, Barrington and Duffy found that girls are more likely to pursuecareers in engineering and science if engineering is presented in a more socially relevant contextsuch as engineering service-learning projects3.Engineers indeed perform an incredibly wide variety of functions applying science andmathematics to solve problems of interest to society. Therefore, in addition to science andmathematics skills, engineers must have effective communication skills, be highly team-oriented,have high ethical principles, be familiar with and understand major societal problems,demonstrate leadership qualities and understand the impact of their work on society.

has to be viewed as an ethical human endeavor that addresses the needs of aglobal society. Engineers are inventors and designers; they apply science and mathematics; anduse their imagination and creativity to make ideas a reality. They create technical solutions tomeet societal needs. This forms the core of engineering activities2,3. Yet, there is a decline inhigh school students’ interest in careers in science and engineering resulting in a decline inengineering enrollment, both undergraduate and graduate. Engineering doctorates have declinedin recent years and are still below the levels of the 1980s3.Adolescents seldom lack curiosity, but as they go into the teenage years their enthusiasm forlearning Science, Technology, Engineering, and

. Should theuniversity instead not engage in the debate and attempt to influence and moderate the wayuniversities are compared and consequently ranked?The authors argue strongly that universities must attempt to ensure that they are measured andcompared against a set of meaningful measures that captures the full extent of what theycontribute. This is particularly true for engineering and technology education because of thegrowing awareness of importance of the social and ethical dimensions to engineering andtechnology education.Typical Critiques of University Rankings and ComparisonsClearly there have been many well-intentioned attempts at ranking and comparisons. But, it isalso true that other approaches exist that seem to be weak in their
