Session 1664 TS Integrating Professional Ethics into Technical Courses in Materials Science Eldon D. Case Michigan State UniversityDuring the Fall semester, 1997, I incorporated ethics into three classes, MSM 454 (a senior-levelMaterials Science class), EGR 291 (an “introduction to engineering and university life” course,open to all first-semester engineering freshmen), and MSM 885 (a graduate-level MaterialsScience seminar). Including ethics in MSM 454 was the focus of a follow-up to an NSF-sponsored “Ethics Across the Curriculum” Workshop I
manufacturing landscape.As the demand for automation in assembly lines and manufacturing processes continues to rise,we recognize the importance of providing our students with relevant certifications [1, 2]. Our goalis to train and certify our faculty in the latest technologies, enabling them to guide students indeveloping integrated smart manufacturing systems that utilize industrial robots and PLCs fortasks like material handling, painting, assembly, and CNC machining. According to studies byDeloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, the skills gap in manufacturing may leave an estimated2.4 million positions unfilled over the next decade [3]. As the US manufacturing industry embracesIndustry 4.0 [4] and digital transformation, there is a growing

Current instructors are seeing a massive difference in the atmosphere between onlineand in-person modes of instruction. Many students find the online class settings daunting due toa lack of social interactions and difficulties concentrating [23]. They face additional challengesas many instructors are not properly trained to adapt their curriculum to an online setting [16].To combat inefficient classroom settings many researchers have studied the

Finally, elements of the curriculum that are essentially 100% engineering or 100% businesswere designed by one professor from the appropriate discipline and are taught by that oneprofessor, since an integrated learning experience was unnecessary.The program accepted its first group of students in the summer of 2001, and offered only onetrack entitled Technology Entrepreneurship.

examining the use of the design-related practices in the curriculum, there is a distinctionbetween the practices that were used more or less frequently (and generally, weaker ratings interms of importance in the engineering curriculum). The practices used more frequently reflect amore traditional approach, such as design to reflect knowledge of a concept; the engagement ofmultiple criteria; and the general environmental and social impact. Practices used less frequentlyinclude design for an individual challenge, design to address a sociotechnical need, and conceptsof ethics and sustainability integrated within engineering design. These practices engage moresubjectivity; a socio-political bend that instructors in engineering may not be as

count toward this total, the civil engineering program issignificantly constrained. USAFA is also required by statute to be a four-year program, andtaking an additional semester is only approved in very rare cases. This often means that theprogram is not able to offer courses dedicated to a single topic and must weave these topicsthrough other courses. As an example, Christ et al.

applying knowledge as students use the iterative,engineering design process when creating a product or prototype [7].Because engineering prototyping and problem solving require advanced cognition during rapidanalysis, synthesis, and evaluation of an evolving design, undergraduate BME curriculagenerally include laboratory and project components aimed at preparing students for seniorcapstone. However, students may begin capstone without the knowledge, skills, and confidencerequired for engineering design success. With these shortcomings in mind, we integrated designexperiences across our undergraduate BME curriculum and evaluated student designperformance and self-reported confidence toward design throughout. The design experiencesdeveloped

This was not an easy endeavor, asexisting activities tended to emphasize one subject over the other, or require a team of teachers(i.e., technology, science, and math) to coordinate over a fairly lengthy period of time. Afterseveral iterations of implementing activities in pilot classrooms, activities that successfullyintegrated algebra and engineering had these qualities: (1) the activities

The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection
