ConferenceAbstractThe study aimed at investigating: the group dynamics underlying ethical decision-making inSenior Design Project (SDP) teams and research labs, and the role of ethics experts in the ethicaldecision-making. Using cognitive ethnography, we analyzed research activities in engineeringresearch laboratories, and SDP teams’ discussions about ethics issues, with or without thepresence of ethics experts. We found that student teams demonstrated multi-layeredunderstanding of engineering ethics: explicit and implicit. Those two types of understandingmanifested themselves differently across SDP teams. At the explicit level, SDP teams understoodtheir technical responsibility and practical work ethics, but at the same time rarely showedappreciation for

Usually twolaboratory periods are sufficient time to allot to any of these projects, though some additionalwork by the students outside of class is almost always necessary. The laboratory periods maynot be in consecutive weeks to allow sufficient time between batching and testing of theconcrete.

allows the professor ample time to present the wide range of topics that typicallyform the foundation of control theory and mechatronics. Additionally it is the best option for alimited funding situation, as students require few external resources.Alternatively, a course laboratory section can be developed, requiring students to spend aspecific amount of time external to the lecture hall applying theory to real-world, physical,problems. This provides the best opportunity for the students to prepare for applicationsencountered in industry. However, it may also require that the professor spend a significantamount of lecture time providing supplementary education for the laboratory experiments.

This figure shows that there is a slight benefit in running two instances of thejob on a single machine if the machine supports hyperthreading. Then, we asked three ormore groups of students share the same client node, with hyperthreading capacity. In thiscase, the students observe that sharing the client node, with hyperthreading, betweenmore than two clusters is no longer beneficial and the performance, in fact degrades.
