In addition, undergraduate students often have erroneous perceptions about the ethical use ofinformation found on the web and the need to include citations [12].Literature ReviewLibrarians and engineering professors have tried many approaches to solve the problemspreviously noted in student assignments.

In relation to systemsengineering education the authors have, in discussion with various educators and practitioners,often encountered the view that the affective domain concerns how the individual addresses theinterpersonal issues of conducting their professional work or the area of professional ethics, inwhich there is a clear association with the value system adhered to by the individual

The Grand Challenges provides a useful “anchor” to help studentsapproach engineering through awareness of ecosystems, sustainable development, resourcemanagement and appropriateness of technology for more holistic solutions. Such anunderstanding can help students become better decision-makers as they gain appreciation for thenon-technical issues that affect engineering. Communication skills are also furthered throughfocusing on impact and consequences of technology (or the lack thereof).
