Inresponse to this need, materials engineering courses related to sustainable energy technology,life-cycle analysis and mineral resources have been developed. The courses have been designedto be accessible to non-materials engineering students, and even non-engineering students, topromote interdisciplinary discussions. This paper will include discussion of the content of andexperience with these courses, as well as the relationship of the

By using worms, viruses, Trojan horses, andvarious malicious tools, hackers have managed to make safe computing a more difficult task. This has resulted inintroducing the concepts of cybersecurity in the education of computer science, information technology, and relatedfields. Cyber defense concepts are being introduced in traditional engineering and technology programs. To this end,we have developed a course module on “Secure Programming” to effectively teach the best practices of securecoding in Fairleigh Dickinson University’s undergraduate engineering programming course.

This solution should pose fewer difficulties in the future in terms ofcredentialing since ABET is now heavily involved in accrediting engineering programs atforeign universities, and NCEES is dutifully following along after ABET to provideroutes to professional licensure in the U.S. for graduates from accredited foreignuniversity programs.Further, limited resources for engineering education at U.S. colleges and universitiescould pose fewer problems because of the

Onestudent talked about wanting to positively affect society by working on building codecommittees, and two other students highlighted an engineer’s ability to educate the public aboutissues like hydraulic fracturing. None of the students, however, talked directly about the needfor engineers to influence legislation or guide public policy. With only six of the 535 membersof congress being engineers, and only 11 from Science, Technology, Engineering orMathematics (STEM) backgrounds17, it is not surprising that ideas of civic responsibility arelacking in the discourse surrounding the role of engineers in society.(c
