motivate too many individuals. We need something more specific such as a parent telling their son or daughter to set their sights on getting “A”s because graduate school may depend on it. Edwin Loche wrote in 1960 that a person’s intention to work toward a goal that was specific, achievable and had feedback was a great motivator for most people.8 He felt that goals not only tell the person what has to be done but they give a good approximation of the amount of effort required. Also, as well as goal setting works, it works better when the goal is higher rather than lower so long as the goal was accepted by the student. Higher, not lower expectations from the teacher are motivating. Students require feedback to be motivated so

Engineering Ethics

; Exposition Copyright 2009, American Society for Engineering Education”and keep asking until you get an answer. The second is suggested by the NSPE and is known asthe “P-L-U-S” Framework. The individual should consider whether the action is consistent with:Policy/Regulations, Laws/Regulations, Universal societal/organizational values, andself/personal values.AssessmentTo demonstrate that students have a basic understanding of the importance of ethics, I usedseveral methods.
