of professional registration.Another level of accountability in engineering are codes and standards which provide accountabilityfor a given task, especially for engineers not professionally registered. If engineers do not followthese guidelines or topics and the result is a failure that causes loss of property and/or life, the legalsystem is always ready to hold engineers accountable. In addition to the external accountability thatexists for engineers, there is also an internal, personal accountability that exists. Internalizing theprofessional code of ethics is a start. Many people have other systems by which they live as well.Religion plays a big part in this role, whether it be Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism,Christianity, Taoism

One of the main goals of enforcing a P.E. license is to ensureengineering graduates follow ethical responsibility to protect public health, safety, and welfare.Currently, every state regulates the practice of engineering to ensure public safety by grantingonly Professional Engineers (PEs) the authority to sign and seal engineering plans and offer theirservices to the public [10].Historical data to regulate engineering practices in the United States dates back to the early1900s when the state of Wyoming established licensing requirements in 1907 [10].

Using these concepts in the classroomcan pull students into deep conversations about ethics and responsibility and emphasize the needfor more far-reaching visions of technical communication and community engagement, likethose explored in recent work on Socially Responsible Engineering [5].In this paper, we focus particularly on what we call systems theories and material vibrancy andenchantment theories. For each of these, we offer a synopsis of several key insights, texts, andimplications.

This provides a uniquechallenge and requires an approach which successfully integrates nanotechnology into currentacademic programs. Such an approach has the added benefit of enhancing student engagementand motivation. The result will be a better educated population of engineers, with anappreciation for the critical importance of nanoscale approaches to solving societal problems. b.

In general terms, studentsare more likely to cheat on a homework assignment than on an exam. Passow et al. have alsosuggested that students who cheat on homework in their first years of college withoutconsequence may develop skills to allow them to continue to cheat, and on higher-riskassessments such as tests, as they progress through school.Certainly the issue of academic misconduct extends beyond a single course, but due to itsprevalence on homework, impact on learning, and ethical implications it deserves attention inoverall course design.

If no consistencies could be found between theaffinity diagrams and the survey coding, a new category was formed. Three such categories wereformed: discipline specific knowledge, creative thinking and engineering ethics.

They also wanted a course that more closelyaligned with the ABET guidelines for a capstone design course.For the Fall 2012 and Spring 2013 semesters, Kim Fowler taught ECE 590, Senior DesignExperience, as a one-credit course.
