engineering programs have been required to document assessment ofoutcome items a-k as defined by ABET.1 Some of these outcome items can be classified as‘hard’ skills, such as (c) [an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desiredneeds within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical,health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability]. The evaluation and assessment of‘hard’ skills is generally considered to be significantly easier than that of ‘soft’ skills andabilities, such as (h) [The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineeringsolutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context].

To deny (or even delay) access to suit research faces serious ethical barriers,since it denies students and parents their preferences, and could impose serious damage to theirscholastic progress and even later academic and workplace opportunities. In a somewhat similarmanner, teachers opt to participate in or avoid engineering instruction and manipulating thisselection for research purposes faces serious professional and ethic issues.
