Maxwell [5] stated "one of our problems is thatethics is never a business issue or a social issue or a political issue. It is always a personalissue." If ethical decisions are ultimately personal, even when connected to the workplace,exploration of the statements made by Helmer and the subsequent reactions can help studentsunderstand and develop a balance between professional ethics and personal views.A fundamental feature of professional practice is compassion. This perspective is uniquebecause students may report that technical ability would be the cornerstone of an occupationalidentity. How is compassion defined

; BackgroundThere exists a great variety of research communities which aim to improve engineeringeducation through innovative, evidence-based practice. While many of these researchcommunities work to develop new educational strategies with great success, there appears to be amissing link: that between the dissemination of evidence-based educational strategies and theiruse in an actual educational environment. Although new pedagogical methods continue to bedeveloped, tested, and published, instructors can often struggle to fit them into their classrooms[1]-[3]. This gap is influenced by a few factors: resources available to faculty members [4]-[6], afaculty member’s willingness to make changes to their pedagogy [7]-[8], and the social networks(or lack

Barnett etal 5 proposed the use of faculty hiring networks as an indicator in the university program ranking.Lopes et al 6 proposed a social network analysis on university ranking based on the internalcollaborations among universities.We propose a methodology to generate rankings of university programs from what we call a“hiring graph”.

Forthat reason our orientation in this course was different from the orientation found in Bucciarelli’sand Drew’s proposal for integrating the liberal arts with engineering (2015).

To begin with, we view a visiting scholar as a person who is hired by an institutionto come give a talk, lead a workshop, or in some other way communicate particular expertise orskills to a local audience. This visitor is typically chosen because of expertise in a specific area,and that area has already been defined by someone at the institution as of value and/orcomplementary to the direction the organization wishes to move. In sum, someone hasdetermined that what that visitor has to offer is a valuable contribution to the local community.In the context of this paper, the person making this decision might be running a facultydevelopment center, an administrator, or a faculty member who has a personal
