Engineering Ethics: Teaching Moral Theories to Engineers Kristen L. Sanford Bernhardt, Mary J.S. Roth, David Brandes, Arthur D. Kney Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Lafayette CollegeIntroductionThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has long required thatengineering programs address professional issues, including ethics, in their curricula. Whileengineering programs have approached this mandate from a variety of perspectives, adding code-based “ethics components” to existing courses in the curriculum seems to be the most commonstrategy.1The Engineering Division at Lafayette College, a small, undergraduate institution, has chosen toaddress this requirement with a course

evolved as the center of economic activity or what isknown as a "Boom." As the border areas with Mexico grows and more monies andresources are poured into these regions, the demand for a more professional laborpopulation, technicians, engineers, and manager’s increases. Most professionals areusually required to have technical or engineering experience and degree. A graduateprogram for educating the engineers employed at Rio Grand Valley (South Texas BorderRegion) manufacturing companies, so called Maquiladora twin plants was designed andhas served the Rio Grande Valley companies for over a decade. The program was to beas flexible to the needs of the Maquiladora companies as possible, keeping abreast ofnew and developing technologies demanded by

Bartolomei-Suárez Sandra Cruz Pol College of Engineering University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez CampusAbstractThe University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) hosts a summer camp called EXITE!(Exploring Interest in Technology and Engineering). This camp is designed to introducegirls from middle schools from the western area of Puerto Rico to the engineering andtechnological fields. The main objective of the camp is to
questionnaireconcerning their current academic situation. The questions inquired about the student’s currentacademic situation and influences of the camp on the selection of major and/or institution ifapplicable. Additional questions addressed what students remembered about the camp, i.e.,specific activities.The subjective feedback indicates that exposing middle school students to engineering, science,and math increases the number of students enrolling in such areas. Also presented is informationregarding current technologies employed in the camp activities, A discussion of the effect ofincreasing use of current undergraduate engineering activities is also presented. These changesand perceived benefits are discussed in the paper.IntroductionBetween the years
