more than the amount of time spent on ethical theories and the case study inthe joint venture model. So this allowed students to gain more knowledge overall and to bringthat knowledge to bear in the discussion. Nevertheless, both methods have proven to work inhelping students see the importance of ethics and ethical thinking in their future careers. One limitation of the studies as we have conducted them thus far is that the modules andtheir content remain somewhat isolated interventions into the courses. This is because the contentof the case studies used is not weaved throughout the course itself but rather discussed onlyduring the duration of the module itself. This limitation is somewhat structural insofar as it is thecase that

Census datasuggest a disconnect between graduation rates and numbers of those entering the workplace. Thetwo issues embedded in that question are whether graduates of engineering programs haveadequately learned the knowledge and skills needed for engineering careers, and whether ourgraduates want to use their newly gained knowledge and skills.Issues of students’ learning and motivation may best be detected at the course level, rather thanat the institutional one.

One important link in the validity argument thatincreasing student exposure to engineering will increase and diversify the population pursuingengineering careers, is that students become more interested in engineering and their attitudesmore positive as they engage in engineering out-of-school-time experiences and curricula.

Both of these had strong connections to engineering. The strongpositive rating for the India Inventors appears to be due to the positive impact on people in India.For the in class topics, most students chose the more technical topics on the Cost of Mars andCongolese Wireless Network (which is also a very dramatic story). As a general rule, the favoritetopics seem to be ones that involve the positive impact of technology on human need, that bringtogether the students’ expertise and career goals with their desire to help people and make adifference.Students selected most of the possible
