However, the stairs can only be cleaned by a union worker but none are immediately available to help. Salaried workers have been cited and penalized for assisting with union work in the past, so you are apprehensive to do the job yourself. What should you do? If the penalty came in the form of a fine, would your decision change if the fine as $50, $500, $5,000? Are you liable if you do nothing?The topics that faculty brought to the team were scenarios that the student may encounter in theearly years of their engineering career or typical ethical issues commonly encountered by young

The pilot course was taught by HHSteacher Jim Clark, whose credentials include BS EE, MS EE, a M Edu. and five yearsprofessional engineering experience at Motorola. Twenty HHS students completed the pilotcourse in a full academic year and each received three units of college credit. Of these twentystudents, five joined the UA COE in fall 2009 and to date, all five have graduated with anaverage GPA of 3.34. Of the 2009-10 cohort, 17 students remain in the COE today and most areon target for graduation within the next academic year. Details

For instance, in one of our research interviews, aformer graduate student and current faculty member stated that his undergraduate educationand early industry experience taught him that, in design contexts, he needed to “listen to thespec.” By that, he meant that he needed to listen to the specifications that were implicit orexplicit in the client’s explanation of the problem and desired solution.
