First, in anindependent study, the student usually initiates the creation of the project to explore a topic ofmutual interest with a faculty member. At smaller teaching-focused institutions, many advancedtechnical topics in a student’s major are not covered in-depth and some students would like moreexperience in a particular area out of pure interest or to prepare themselves for a future career inthat field.

Few studies have systematicallyexamined levels of ethical knowledge, decision-making capabilities, and commitments to socialresponsibility among large numbers of engineering students, much less examined how suchindicators change over time and are impacted (or not) by specific kinds of learning experiences.As a result, faculty, administrators, and
