specifically civil engineersTwelve of the 17 students were engineering majors and nearly all students expressed a strongintent to pursue an engineering career after graduation (4.29 and 4.12 scores on pre- and post-surveys). Furthermore, a majority (9 of 17) students were Civil Engineering majors. This mayindicate that the course was perceived as a civil engineering course (perhaps based on the courseidentifier code: CEE 409, and the published syllabus). One non-civil engineering majorexpressed frustration with engineering content, “I understand it's an engineering class, but thelength of time spent at San Clemente and Baths of Caracalla talking about cracks in wall. I'm notan engineer so I'll need to get over it.” However, comments from the non

Knowledge does. Most curriculum leave untouched what ethical situations an engineer might face in the future, and the BOK is a great resource to learn about these circumstances before there are consequences. Not only do I think this is important for civil engineering students in general, but this is a topic that I personally feel I lack a thorough understanding of. The only class that has impressed upon me the important of making strong, personal, moral decisions in the future is my philosophy ethics class, which was not a part of my engineering curriculum.”As this assignment preceded the full case study, I hoped that this student might revise thisopinion that no engineering course asked him to consider ethical issues.By the end

This ‘capital’ is generated through investment by individual members of the social network,such as participants and facilitators of a teacher PD, in building trust and creating channels formutual recognition and acknowledgement. The returns can be seen as resource exchange, creationof intellectual capital, and cross-functional team effectiveness [32].

Second, given thatAmerican societies encourage their members to apply their codes of ethics universally, theirforeign colleagues might know very little (if anything) about these codes.
