Also he is Head of Innovation Center for Engineering Education, Yeungnam University, Korea. At Ye- ungnam University, he holds a position as Professor of School of Mechanical Engineering. He has been a member of board of directors of Korea Society of Engineering Education since 2000. He is a chair of engineering ethics education committee in KSEE. He had served as Chairman of Engineering Education Committee of Korea Society of Mechanical Engineers
students need to be taught foundations of multidisciplinaryscience and technology, ethics and finer auspects of differentcultures, in addition to improved curricula and innovativeexperimentation. Teachers and ecosystems of learning shall form thecore resource to realise these objectives.

anything, 3) collaborates, and 4) innovates. Theentrepreneurial/enterprising engineer needs a global perspective and the globalization of roboticsbrings several implications for robotics engineers, including manufacturing, food production,defense, and telepresence.Thus, the globalization of robotics carries many potentially disruptive societal impacts.Destruction of existing jobs / creation of new jobs. Enhanced security / reduced individualliberty. Longer lifespan / quality of life. Telepresence / never quite being present. Because of thedisruptive potential of their craft, Robotics Engineers bear a special responsibility to humankind,embodied in a Code of Ethics for Robotics Engineers. We conclude that in addition to a broadand rigorous
Electronics (in Libya & Malta). Dr. Rashid is actively involved in teaching, researching, and lecturing in electronics, power electronics, and professional ethics. He has published 17 books listed in the US Library of Congress and more than 160 technical papers. His books are adopted as textbooks all over the world. His book, Power electronics has translations in Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Korean, Italian, Chinese, Persian, and Indian edition. His book, Microelectronics has translations in Spanish in Mexico and in Spain, Italian, and Chinese. He has received many invitations from foreign governments and agencies to give keynote lectures and consult, by foreign universities to serve as an external examiner for
Confucian cultural roots, also noted for Koreans’ general respectfor education as evidenced by the yearly statistics that over 70% of highschool graduates enroll in colleges. Although it may seem apparent–withthe coupling yearly statistics that about 23% outright majority of the college population major inengineering—that Republic of Korea is on smooth sail with respect to its engineering evolution,there are—due to threats pertaining to changes in industrial structure, culture, economy, politics,education, environment and social structures (and, ultimately, people’s psyche, work-ethics andliving styles)—some alarming early signals pertaining to the numbers, quality and sustainabilitypertaining to its engineering workforce.

Each of the lectures wasoffered by faculty from departments which encompass the topical area. Following the lectureseries, the students traveled to Lima, Peru, where the second phase of the class convened.During this phase, the group met at the campus of the Catholic University of Peru and lectureswere provided in English by faculty of this school. Because the faculty of the Catholica arespecialized in rural development, lectures during this phase focused on appropriate technology,technology transfer and project deployment. Finally
research focuses on improving the engineering education experience with an emphasis on assessment of design and problem solving, and the study of the ethical behavior of engineers and engineering managers. A former Senior Editor of the Journal of Engineering Education, Shuman is the Founding Editor of Advances in Engineering Education. He has published widely in engineering education literature, and is co-author of Engineering Ethics: Balancing Cost, Schedule and Risk - Lessons Learned from the Space Shuttle (Cambridge University Press). He received his Ph.D. from the Johns Hopkins University in Operations Research and a B.S.E.E. from the University of Cincinnati. Dr. Shuman is an ASEE Fellow.Ms. Lucia Howard

education focusbetween the pre and post-World War II; specifically following the 1955 Grinter3 3 year study.The current ABET criteria reaffirm a set of core engineering skills coupled with a second set of Page 21.65.2professional skills. The professional skills focus on communication skills, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism; in addition to “awareness skills” as coined by Shuman4 et al, which translatesinto engineering within the global and the societal contexts coupled with life-long learning andthe knowledge of contemporary issues. Moreover, there is a recent trend of what can be called“Add-on” skills that come to complement the core engineering
concluding thoughts inSection 6. 2. Course objectives and expected student outcomes of ENGR 290ENGR 290 in part addresses several ABET defined student outcomes related to global, societal,and contemporary issues. The related ABET student outcomes include the following: (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (j) a knowledge of contemporary issuesTo achieve these outcomes, ENGR 290 China set out specific course objectives that focused onChina specific content such as how engineering is practiced in China, what are some of thedifferences between engineering
. Evaluated decisions or actions based on a discussed code of ethics; 4. Critically discussed the role of engineering and science in advancing and supporting global and social solutions in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner; 5. Described the jobs and activities typically performed by mechanical, electrical, petroleum, and/or chemical engineers and geoscientist in the petroleum industry.Additional specific course learning objectives focus on measurable means of assessing thinkingskills and life-long learning. The level of student attainment of the above outcomes is measuredthrough a series of formative assessments during classroom activities, written assignments andpresentations
