Session ETD 465ConceptsIn addition to the items explained above, some overall concepts are helpful to orient instructorsnew to ethics.Do No Harm. As the prime directive of ethics, all professionals should refrain from actions thatresult in harm of any type: physical, psychological, financial, legal. Initially associated withmedicine and erroneously ascribed to the Hippocratic Oath, primum non nocere came intowidespread usage in the early 20th century18 and has served as a guide for professional practicein any area related to the public good. Engineering codes capture this concept in FundamentalCanon #1, and public safety is at the forefront of a designer’s mind, especially those workingwith structures and consumer products.It is important to note

theirprofessional responsibility and understand the role of engineering in a systems perspective.The focus group analysis also indicated that the impact of an intervention is partially dependenton the context in which it is embedded. Engineering educators should be mindful of the coursecharacteristics (elective or compulsory and placement in the broader degree program) andstudent characteristics (major and year of study) when considering the transferability of ESIinterventions. These factors also come into play when considering the objective or intendedimpact of the instruction. Ethics instruction can serve different learning goals such as awareness(sensitivity to ethical issues students may encounter), decision-making (ability to take ethicalactions), or

All programs in order to become accredited had to address those ABET standards.Programs have gone through a number of 6-year evaluations and there are still issues that need tobe addressed. With this is mind, the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MSU began toinvestigate what needs a student might have in the real world and how the department couldprovide a certain amount of preparation for those needs, including ABET requirements but alsofocusing on additional student needs.A Department’s ViewOver the past years, the department focused on one critical issue in a

Thus, three ideas came to the instructor’s mind when designing thetechnique learning objectives of the MANE 450: 1) Instead of focusing on the prototype product,train the student about design thinking and process, 2) Instead of helping the students to brainstormdesign by trial and error, teach students scientific design theories to support the design conceptgeneration, followed by the application of engineering approaches to embody the concepts and toanalyze the design, and 3) Design the class and prototyping process as Maker activities.Other than the technical objectives, the course also aims to train the students on ‘non-technical’aspects such as professional

view the abovecomments as somewhat discouraging as they indicate the mind-sets of present-day faculty.SummaryIn this paper the authors have shown how the concept of JIT education can be used fordeveloping instructional material. The materials being written and evaluated use an innovativeapproach. It combines the learning of theory, the applications of that theory to practice, and thecommunication of that knowledge to others. Just-in-Time learning is more effective and shouldlead to better retention of that material.

The e-leaning modules were integrated within regular engineering and computer science courses in ahybrid format (on-ground and online), providing a supplement to topics generally included inthose courses. The e-learning modules are open source, developed with funding from the KernFamily Foundation. Over the past four years, the e-learning modules were deployed outside theUniversity of New Haven at 55 other institutions by 77 faculty. In this paper we present theperceptions of over 1500

They will not be successful in university andthey will not understand why.
