Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZAbstractWith the primary tenant of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) articulatingthat engineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public,” and otherprofessional engineering societies using the same or similar language, engineers need broaderand deeper understanding of moral and ethical theories that can help them understand and makeethically informed decisions about their designs. Ethical understanding is necessary for engineersto determine the appropriateness of pursuing projects and to think through how these are likely tobe used in current systems. From common devices to complex systems, the technology engineersdesign profoundly shape society and change our

Experienced engineers working with new productsmay be working with unfamiliar users, while early career engineers are learning that end usersare important to anticipate during the design, testing and implementation process.Studies of engineering work, workplace learning and science and technology studies havehistorically observed these design and work practices in order to better understand therelationships between technologies and users. This focus has generated a diverse number ofconcepts that describe users and the “user-technology nexus” (Oudshoorn & Pinch 2003:2). Onemajor contribution of these approaches is to conceptualize users and

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact therelationships and interactions with faculty, graduate student mentors, and otherundergraduate researchers in a summer program at Oklahoma State University careerpaths. Results indicated that students knowledge and skills on material science and futurecareers, increased from the pre to post test.IntroductionUndergraduate research has been identified as an educational practice that directlyaddresses challenges facing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)education1, 7, 8. Specifically, engaging undergraduates in research is
regarding operations of engineering corporations andtheir paths to entrepreneurial success. Students were required to present in teams on a newbusiness idea related to the assigned engineering project of the course. Student learning was alsoassessed through surveys on the impact and effectiveness of integrating the entrepreneurshipcomponent into the first-year engineering class.IntroductionToday, numerous technology companies established by engineers are leading innovation andeconomic growth of the nation, which simultaneously strengthens the global economicleadership of the U.S. in science and engineering. However, many developing nations arerapidly developing their work forces in high tech fields and gaining comparative advantage inscience and
continually draw the largest student enrollment numbers. In 2015, the Engineering Department transitioned from its 30 year history as an engineering dual degree program to a four year onsite program. The former program was affiliated with seven well-known universities including Columbia University, the University of Florida, and the Georgia Institute of Technology. JU opted to establish the onsite engineering program based on students’ needs and interests as identified through feedback from the previous dual degree program. This four-year program can confer a BS degree in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. The new engineering department has added two more faculty positions, put $200,000 towards upgrading
