This paper offers suggestions, from the perspective of what studentsreally need to know as they begin their professional careers, for technical instructors new to thefield of ethics, focusing on the following: resources, approaches, and case methodology.ContextWhile many colleges and universities offer ethics classes through specialized departments, thispaper advocates an “ethics across the curriculum” (EAC) approach. Similar to the writing acrossthe curriculum movement of years past, EAC proponents integrate the study of ethics intocourses in the major, rather than farming it out to a philosophy department.

Refer to companion paper by Walter et al, 2007 [2]for more details on the overallMSD program at RIT. Like its peer institutions, RIT strives to continuously improve curriculumstructure, integration, and assessment. The MSD course sequence is particularly crucial to thisongoing improvement due to its culminating nature.

At a local scale, complex systems are in a constant state of flux Within complex systems, the local relationships among agents are constantly changing and agents themselves are changing their roles or moving into or out of the system in short periods of time. In other words, there is considerable, varied activity at a local scale. Within engineering education there is much happening at a local scale within a single day or even an hour. There are students in class listening to lectures, working on homework, conducting research on a topic for a project, working in the computer lab, writing papers

Music is also an important element of our humanidentity, as Robert Fulghum noted: "Never forget that music is too important to be left entirelyin the hands of professionals." As it is for music, so it is for technology. To be fully human is toindulge the creative spirit, not only in art such as music, but also in engineering and design.Abraham Maslow, in describing his hierarchy of human needs, notes that human self-actualization requires that one act out one’s identity: "A musician must make music, an artistmust paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

, whereas computing sciences have focused primarily on software design. Withthe introduction of robotic systems, it became possible to provide students with hands-onlaboratory experiences to construct interdisciplinary and more complex systems. As roboticsystems have evolved in research and commercial applications, the number and complexity ofthese systems has also increased. A significant portion of the design process must now focus onthe integration of hardware and software. However, most senior design courses still emphasizejust on the software writing or the hardware construction parts. In order to address both softwareand hardware issues, it becomes essential to apply a team-based approach.Applications of robotic systems usually involve a
