Integrating research into the classroom can alsoaddress several ABET 4 outcomes. For example, engineering graduates should be able to designand conduct experiments, analyze and interpret data, and have an ability to identify, formulateand solve engineering problems. However, in many engineering undergraduate curriculums,research is typically integrated into education mainly through university seminars and capstoneprojects. This paper presents an example of integrating research results in the classroom in a no-cost manner. By so doing, all students in the course have

Unlike the former approach, the latter,referred to as the Social Impact Approach is particularly beneficial in forcing the students tothink about the ethical problems related to products that exist but are not yet available. Thisremoves the hind sight perspective present when examining past cases.From a practical viewpoint, a basic knowledge of professional ethics is required in order to passthe examinations required for licensure.
