Case studies provide insight into the ethical responsibilities of engineers. Projectsprovide opportunities to experience design and to consider reliability, economics, and judicioususe of resources. A semester long design and build project reinforces the design processinstruction and culminates in a student competition.e. ME402, Mechanical Design, is a three credit hour course.

It is obvious that academia and industry share the responsibility, the challengeand the opportunity of producing top quality graduates in order to become and staycompetitive. And that is the key issue, competitiveness. The challenge comes at a time in which globalization trends demand innovativeapproaches to new and traditional technological needs as discussed by Jones [3]. Onesuch challenge is producing graduates that can perform effectively and comfortably ininternational engineering scenarios; being able to communicate, to understand, and mostimportant, to

Introduction: Challenges of the Freshman YearThe self-examination urged on us by the expectations of Engineering Criteria 2000 made it clearthat the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, like many of our counterparts elsewhere,faces challenges in the engineering freshman year. Our objectives for the freshman year -- (1) toillustrate the practice of engineering as an iterative process of synthesis and analysis, (2) to helpthe student make career choices, (3) to provide tools prerequisite to further study, (4) to developlearning skills, (5) to illustrate the role of ethics in the professional practice of engineering, (6) todevelop teamwork skills

As a classactivity, the students discussed ethics and how it may potentially affect the way we utilize theInternet. Current articles addressing the misuse of the Internet were also addressed anddiscussed. The students were then required to communicate with their instructors and each othervia E-mail. This has a great potential use as a means of academic advisement in the future.VIII.
