should be responsible for teaching this code of ethics to new engineers?  How does this code of ethics apply to those engineers who cannot or choose not to become licensed as a Professional Engineer (PE)? (note: PE licensure is not available for all disciplines)  What happens when engineers fail to follow these guidelines?After discussing the applicable Code(s) of Ethics, participants shift back to case studydiscussions. “Tweaking the Data” asks participants to consider how the power differentialbetween a supervisor/employee or mentor/mentee can impact the gathering and reporting of data.In this scenario, an inexperienced engineer is tasked with collecting data that ends up surprisingand puzzling the project manager

at the University.Many students measured this lack of course opportunities based on Advanced Placement (AP)options at their home high school. Of the seven participants, students reported between one andseven AP courses at their high schools, which they felt was less than the other students in theircourse of study. Even at the high end of this range, Student A mentioned: “So I guess, also partof that is the classes that we can take, like, the opportunities, because, you know, we only hadmaybe six or seven AP classes.... But then I talk to people that took, you know, 10, 12, you know,even more.” Student D noted that his school only had one teacher qualified to teach AP courses:“We don't have a lot of AP courses and [Teacher]’s, the only one

When asked what courses helped and didn’t helped, students werealmost as likely to indicate their first-year composition course. Many frequently mentioned theECET courses that have comprehensive lab reports as helping them improve their writing. Thisseems to be borne out by the response to questions 3 through 5. Question 3 asks whether theEnglish and Comm classes helped and the responses are in the low 3's. Questions 4 and 5, withscores typically above 4, indicate the students believe the curriculum provides sufficientopportunities for them to improve and the ECET professors provide them with feedback Ingeneral, these results seemed to indicate
