The topic ofnuclear weaponry repeatedly goes unaddressed, and students repeatedly seek to bring it up. Thisdimension of HC includes those topics notably absent from the formal curriculum, notableespecially when their inclusion would seem to be reasonable or even likely.

work (average 8.4, Table 2), but perhaps this wasdue to other courses that they had taken rather than the senior-level engineering professionalismand ethics course. I2 required multiple ethics courses outside engineering that were taken earlierin their undergraduate careers, and perhaps those courses were viewed as being more helpful. Inaddition, the I2 course was new (in first to third iterations) and the alumni who responded to thesurvey had only worked for about 1 year after graduating. The short time in-practice was notatypical compared to alumni respondents from institutions I3, I6, and I7. The exemplarinstructors from I1, I3, I6, I7 did appear to have more established courses.

-MadisonIntroductionThe discipline of project management, as traditionally taught, seeks to precisely plan, budget,and schedule projects, then execute according to those predetermined plans, budgets, andschedules. Engineers seek to fully understand and avoid possible risks to project success. In thisview, success depends on accurately predicting the future, developing a path to success, andensuring all elements of the project remain fixed on that path.The true success of any project depends on whether the project delivers its intended value tostakeholders. Whether the project follows the planned path to success is immaterial. The scope,schedule, and/or budget may evolve to the benefit of all, provided the target value is delivered.To achieve project and career

well.Michael Gregg, Associate ProfessorAn alternate and increasingly less traveled road toward tenure in engineering is via industry.This is particularly true in a research university, such as Virginia Tech. Twenty years ofindustrial experience included self employment, government consulting (honorably referred to asa ‘beltway bandit’ in the Washington D.C. environs), machine design and automation, qualitycontrol, marketing and manufacturing. Reaching a ‘technical ceiling’ in industry – a positionabove which administrative duties abound but active engineering is relegated to others – requireda reassessment of career path.
