What was important in securing approval of the new doctoral programwas faculty strength and program support, and the phase I plan was initiated prior to externalreview of the proposed program. With this donation, the corporation requested the universityprovide a phase II project proposal, after the program was approved, that would facilitate itsrapid implementation.An objective and independent external evaluation committee was sanctioned by the SBOE. Thiscommittee evaluated a number of factors critical to the success of the proposed program andunanimously agreed that the college was well positioned to move to the doctoral level.

They had writtenabout this topic in their sophomore year as part of a capstone research project in the STSprogram. Besides the thematic congruence, another thing that caught our attention was that bothstudents regarded drone warfare to have negative consequences but, to different degrees, wantedto absolve the designing engineers of bearing responsibility.One of us
