academic achievements as males.Studies of why students migrate out of engineering have identified several factors at work. Theyinclude both “push” factors out of engineering (including poor academic performance,inadequate preparation, unwillingness to work) and “pull” factors attracting students into anothermajor (summarized in Seymour & Hewitt21). However, of more relevance to the present project,some of the reasons for switching out of engineering pertain to the very pedagogy with whichengineering is traditionally taught: hard “weeding out” classes rather than a nurturingenvironment; a lack of social and ethical context surrounding the academic work; a strongemphasis on individual competition; lack of warm and close interpersonal

few has long been a concern in most academic and professionaldisciplines. Copyright laws, patent laws, academic honor codes, and professional ethics codes allgive evidence of the historic need to protect intellectual property (IP). In the public orcommercial arena, the victim of IP theft usually has the burden of detecting, proving, and suingor pressing charges against the violator. In the classroom or instructional laboratory, the victimsof IP theft (students) are not generally in a position to detect, prove, or prosecute the perpetrator.Academic honesty codes or honesty contracts encourage most students to fulfill their ethicalobligations, but the codes do not guarantee complete compliance, nor do they provide a means ofdetection or proof

The Handy et al.respondents listed “professional ethics” and “urban design” as full-course needs; since thesesubjects are not specific to transportation, the author chose not to include them in the list.SettingThis study considered transportation engineering and planning education at four-year collegesand universities in the mountain states, including all states and portions thereof lying within theMountain Time zone. The study did not cover a larger area to retain a manageable scope ofwork. As of 2003, a total of 123 public and independent four-year institutions in the mountainstates offered

We would certainly encourage all engineering educators, and not just those affiliatedwith our division, to consider the broader social and ethical foundations for engineeringeducation that go beyond the most immediate political and industrial (and even professional)interests.Finally, based on a very helpful suggestion made by one of the reviewers, I leave the reader with“some challenges for personal reflection and action” that also emerge out of this story about PSI.Being less connected one to another, they are presented in bullet form.

Therefore, high school students‟attitudes to engineering may be an important predictor of not only being adequately preparedto engineering but its pursuit. If more high school students acquire positive attitudes towardsengineering, more of them will be motivated to choose engineering as a career.An attitude is a

It was desired that the graduates of thiscurriculum be technically competent, critical and creative thinkers, life-long learners, effectivecommunicators, team players, and globally aware. They should understand process and systemsdesign and integration, display high ethical standards, and appreciate the social context ofengineering and industry business practices.
