to the situation causing the ethical problems.(3) Identification of possible courses of action: Usually there are several possible courses ofaction. Some result in misconduct while others effectively and ethically solve the problem(s).(4) Distinguishing “moral questions”, “moral disagreements”, and “moral conflicts.” Amoral question is a situation in which moral duties are clear to the subject, although they may bein conflict with other issues of interest to the agent such as financial and political interests. Thesesituations do not require moral deliberation so much as moral courage. Moral disagreementsarise when the agent feels subjectively certain, but holds a point of view in conflict with otherpersons’ moral judgments. These situations

students were assigned into groups of approximately 3-4 individualsand given the problem to develop a simulation (game, etc.) that examines at least one of theaspects of social dynamics that has been covered in this course. Specifically, each project had tocontain the following items:- Background research on the topic(s) that you are investigating.- Experimental design of the proposed simulation including expected outcomes, identification ofconfounding factors, and appropriate analytical procedures. A computational simulation ofexpected outcomes may be helpful although not necessary.- Conducting the simulation, data collection and computation of analytical results.- Discussion and interpretation of the results.Students gave a 10 minute

These methods were used in an attempt to reduce total energy consumptionto lower the building’s monthly utility costs and carbon footprint. The audit was lead by a seniorCivil & Environmental Engineering student and conducted by a team of engineering studentsfrom Civil & Environmental, Mechanical, and Electrical & Computer.

The survey alsoindicated that the workbook/textbook isn’t as useful as it could be.Question 7’s apparent low satisfaction by the students regarding future use of the BentleyLEARN Server may stem from two sources. First, during the initial registration for the onlinecourses there were a few problems with students signing up for the wrong course, something notdiscovered until the regular weekly reports was developed. Second, because the BentleyLEARN Server must track all student activities within an online course, there was not factility toallow the student to print out the course

This lack of clarity applies to many students, and in some case to afaculty. King et al. discussed similar issues in their experience4.Since this is a project-based course, we accompany asynchronous interaction with synchronousactivities. This is achieved through face to face meeting and live discussions between thestudent(s) and project’s faculty mentor. It is vital to the students success to keep this stream ofmeetings and interactions flowing since it will clarify many paradigms pointed out earlier.
