program was not sufficient [19]. This reflects differences in the extent that the formalcurriculum integrates ethical and societal issues (e.g., some programs require a full course onengineering ethics, others have an ethics-across-the curriculum approach, others only include asingle small ethics integration in capstone design) [20, 21]. In addition, some educators believethat ethics education should be grounded in theory versus others taking a more ‘practical’approach [20]. There are also important differences among engineering disciplines. For example,the extent that macroethical issues such as sustainability are taught varies by discipline andvaries within the professional codes across different disciplines [22].Given the interdisciplinary

It requires and reflects a long-termcommitment to the program and its constituencies, viz., the students, alumni and industrypartners. Like most engineering programs, we have had a long history of self-assessment and 2improvement. However, we have had little documentation of processes already in place.Although we are in the middle of an ABET accredited cycle, there has been significant pressurefrom the campus administration to document

This may result in multiple solutions which dovetail together to moreeffectively meet the range of cooling needs at the mobile food bank. For instance, one team maydesign a system which works well up to 100 degrees, and another team may have generated asolution which is only appropriate for 100 degrees or higher. These two systems would likelyintegrate nicely.It would be interesting to integrate this design project into the capstone curriculum in some way.For example, one of the teams could be eligible to continue their design the following year astheir capstone project.

. The problem is that design projects by definition are generally things that integrate knowledge. How much knowledge does a student have in the first year? So obviously the level and the sophistication of the design project will improve, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be doing projects from day 1. DL [With design project] the other thing I used to do with them, is allow them to go up blind alleys. Not too often, or they’d never get there. Going up a few blind alleys, they learn an awful lot, recognise early signs about what’s going on. If they only ever do it right, they don’t know what the warning signs
