PUC has been using one (Figure 4) for over a year nowand it is excellent for single point threading. This presents an interesting ethical dilemma that canbe discussed with students. Hardinge originally designed the machine and Sharp (and severalothers) reverse-engineered it and produced nearly an exact copy. Which one should a personpurchase? The author has philosophical problems with an unlicensed, exact copy of theHardinge, but the Hardinge was just too expensive for PUC’s budget, so a Sharp was purchased.The Sharp excels at threading, but it is too small for general lab use in PUC’s courses

The only practice questions on the FE exam deal with ethics.

The topic provides a level playing field for participants in thecourse: both faculty and students are unfamiliar, in terms of expertise, with the topic. Theremoteness and perceived strangeness of the Moon and the ‘blank slate’ that the Moonoffers for current as well as futuristic technological applications also contribute to thisequality. This equal access issue is important to our target audiences: women andunderrepresented groups such as the Deaf and minorities suffer from the real or perceivedimpression that they are less knowledgeable or able in a particular technical discipline(Leveson 1991, Howell, 1993).
