Are therealternative theoretical bases that better account for the ethical considerations faced by engineersduring
casual observer is that although the aforementioneddevices are prominent in our everyday activities, they are only the tip of the iceberg, so-to-speak,in the installed base of electronic systems. Although there are billions of wireless cell phones inuse1 and billions of PCs have been sold, the vast majority of electronics is embedded in products2which one typically does not consider as being electronic devices. This perception is most likelydue to the fact that these products historically did not originally contain electronics to controltheir operation(s) or to make them more functional, efficient, reliable, secure, and safe.Furthermore, the interface between the user and the electronics has typically been designed tofurther remove the user from

scientifically andtechnologically literate society and to increase and improve the STEM education workforce.‟” Inorder to both increase and improve this workforce, we must “expand the STEM pipeline fromour own domestic talent pool”.7In their report, the President‟s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology outline “a two-pronged strategy for transforming K-12 education”, by focusing “on both preparation andinspiration”, and recommend that we must “create opportunities for inspiration throughindividual and group experiences outside the classroom” for all pre-college students.8Specifically, they call for creating “STEM-related experiences that excite and interest students ofall backgrounds.”8 [emphasis added]The model of building academic capital and
thecourse to train students to start with proper software engineering practice of keeping testing inmind while programing. This gives the students advantages in preparation for future softwareengineering courses while still getting solid CS1 knowledge. We understand that adding software engineering to CS1 is not a new idea, which has beenproposed since 90’s [3] [4] [5]. The goal of this paper is to take measurement of impact ofintroducing various software engineering concepts to help faculty decide what should be addedunder the tight schedule of the course. After this case study, we are quite convinced that IDE andbasic testing concept should be included in CS1. The rest of the paper is organized as follows.Section 2 describes how IDE was

The goal of providing this information was toenable the SME to assess if the object was potentially dangerous, not dangerous, or potentially sodangerous that perhaps divers should not be in their vicinity. It is important to note that the toplevel objectives provided to the student team were purposely generalized and not directive innature, in order to encourage non-traditional and out-of-box solutions and to avoid driving thestudent team toward a specific solution.
