experience is not credible? This is often witnessed in computerprogramming. What is the best approach to teaching programming? There have been groups thatadvocate that you use a language that is designed to teach programming. Others advocate that youteach a language used by a relevant community to help the students adapt to that community. Whilethis might seem minor – consider the idea that there are computing programs in existence in theUnited States that taught COBOL and only COBOL for more than twenty-five years. Also considerthe idea that there is a body of discussion about how COBOL is the worst language to use forteaching programming. Who was right is not a matter for this paper, however, the question “WouldCOBOL have been an introduction to

With the knowledge gainedfrom this research, first-year engineering programs can better explore how incoming students viewdecision-making and design more effective instructional practices. BackgroundIntroductionEthics is the “standards of conduct that apply to everyone” [1]. It is the difference between rightand wrong. People use ethics to determine how to act when confronted with any situation; askingquestions such as “who will this benefit?”, “who will this harm?”, and “what are theconsequences?”. However, engineering ethics is different from everyday ethics. Engineeringethics are a set of professional ethics, or “those special morally permissible standards of conductthat

Townley and Parsell note that “the Internet presents mixed messagesthat may confuse people as to what is and what is not acceptable appropriation practice.”7 The Internet also facilitates the ultimate form of plagiarism, turning in someone else’spaper as one’s own.

Finally, it has always been a priority of professors at Georgia Tech to introducesome applications to develop the "practical" skills of the students. The ABET 2000 Criterion 31recognizes the importance of this as a goal2.One weakness in many engineering syllabi is that most of the "practical" applications are left tothe senior Capstone Design courses. Thus, the student gains the false impression that design iswhere all of the "exciting" and "practical" work is performed. This false impression can havetwo major impacts. First, the student may not interview well in areas other than design. Inaddition, this can lead to a large pool of students designating their

In many cases, design aids are available for students to performthis task. This may include tables, charts or computer programs.A common practice among instructors is to assign a project at the end of these courses.The essential function of such a project is to integrate what the students learn in bits andpieces throughout the term into one big task at its end.

Such project longevity is a key factor intruly engaging students in real-world STEM applications and it carries the inherent benefit ofproviding the time needed for students to fact find and to establish a deep research approach tothe project, two aspects of problem solving that have been described as “vital stages in thecreative process.”6 Long-term efforts on a continuing project also offer the opportunity forstudents to fail, often, in their design attempts to solve STEM problems and to try anew, again,learning with each attempt. Frequent failure has been strongly linked to creativity andinnovativeness in the workplace and, ultimately, to very successful people.7

Time, talent, and tender certainly top the list. Even if talent andtender were eliminated, for example, by momentarily considering the best student body at a well-endowed engineering college taught by the best faculty possible, time would still be a formidableissue in itself.
