Inaddition, some of the significant changes in the tax law have been implemented as temporarywith scheduled phase-outs beginning in 5 years.With all of this in mind, the decisions of what we should and will cover are complicated by boththe near and long-term law changes. Laws can change faster than textbooks can keep up with, yetstudents need to leave our classrooms with accurate data and current understanding.Literature ReviewThe Engineering Economy Division of ASEE has a history of publishing conference works thatexplore how we teach engineering economics

After observations of brain-damaged patients, they concluded knowledge and reasoning detached from emotionalimplications are of little use in the real world. Therefore, we believe engineering ethics educationshould also appreciate importance of emotion.A few studies have acknowledged the importance of incorporating emotional aspects in ethicseducation. For example, Kretz advocated student empowerment for morally activated minds andhearts [19] and

the interviewtranscripts, conducting focused coding with our assigned themes in mind and with the codebookas a guide.Once all interviews were coded for all four themes, we discussed our findings as a group. Wehighlighted unexpected findings and the absence of things we had expected to hear from ourinterviewees. We noted points of overlap among themes as well as points that were commonlymentioned among our interviewees. Based on these discussions and our focused coding, wedeveloped the following report of our findings.3. FindingsThe results of this qualitative research show four major themes regarding research practices andservices needs from Civil and Environmental Engineering researchers during their research lifecycle. The four themes are
