However, the author could find noactual data reporting how engineering students felt about the potential requirement foradditional formal education beyond

Though students define thesegroups, during our analysis we are particularly interested in those engineering communities thatare communities of practice (e.g., they have mutual engagement, shared repertoire, and jointenterprise [6]). Engineering communities are important for engineering identity development(e.g., [7], [8], [9]).

Nevertheless,the inclusion of research advances into the undergraduate curriculum is widely accepted asresulting in undergraduates being more persistent, gaining intellectually and being more likely tochoose a research related field as a career [3].

Alternatively, an ethics lesson maybe constructed to be very specific in order to present a detailed analysis. One pitfall of thismethodology is that many students may not see a future connection to their career and becomeuninterested.Broad topics provide an environment that will include the majority of the students and facilitateopen discussion. While this approach may not apply to specific issues encountered in practice, itdoes provide an awareness and basic thought process to evaluate ethical questions in the future.The

Students who studyengineering at a community college represent only a very small fraction of the total communitycollege enrollment, and like the general public, a large part of this student population seems to beunaware of the opportunities a career in engineering offers.
