engineering ethics education in Korea is to bepresented in the paper. Various courses handling ethical issues in many universities areto be discussed. And international cooperation between JSEE and KSEE on engineeringethics education will be discussed. It is only a beginning in Korea, however, due toABEEK accreditation, i.e., ethics outcome and due to societal needs to educateengineering students with responsible, critical and reflective ethical thinking capability,engineering ethics education will be emphasized greatly in Korea and further variousaction including government financial support will be developed to improve currenteducation system.

Three priorities andstrengths of Year (YR)1 and YR2 professional development and curriculum were to 1) exciteand empower teachers and students through high quality, design- and project-based STEMeducation 2) attract diverse student populations to the STEM fields and expand the STEMpipeline, and 3) provide

of Electronic Science and Technology in China in Chengdu. Before each of thesevisits, a student team studied the cultural, engineering, and other important aspects of the site orcompany and reported to the entire group to give an overview of what would be visited. Duringthe visit, students attended presentations made by the company or the university, many of whichincluded a question-and-answer session, or listened to stories about a cultural attraction by a tourguide. After the visit, students debriefed the visit in group meetings and each wrote thoughts andreflections in their course journals. At the end of the course, each student was required to write asummary paper to discuss what they learned and to reflect on what they experienced

Three-dimensional display also can identify critical regions and help focusproblem-solving strategies. Figure 2. Example of 3-D Display 3. ContouringContouring technique illustrates how a particular quantity varies with location. Since one-linediagrams usually reflect the geographic arrangement of system equipment, contour plots providea valuable picture of how quantities such as voltage or transmission loadings vary across thesystem. This technique enables students to pinpoint specific regions of concern when inspectingthe system as a whole. Figure 3 shows a contour plot of bus voltage

% Deviation from target 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% TME1023 MCS2023 TIE2063 TIE2093 MCS2323 The general conclusion from the table and the data is that the target score for the objectives were generally met and exceeded in all the courses. A question could be raised when the actual score exceed the target score significantly, Such as in TIE20263 where the actual achievement exceeded the target by 22.5%. The argument could be that either the target score does not reflect the level of mastery required or the test tools do not explore the missing skills of the students. It is recommended that when there is this kind of significant deviation from the target, whether the

paper presents an “in-their-own-words” student evaluation of the value ofinternational service to engineering education with the purpose of reconciling facultyperspectives and student perspectives. Engineering educators speak in an institutionalizedlanguage of objectives and outcomes which relate the intent of educational activities with theirimpact on student knowledge and preparation for the profession. Most often, this specializedvernacular is not shared by students; and their perception of the importance of various activitiesmay depart from the perception held by the educator. Also, the international landscapeexperienced by outward bound millennial (and post-millennial) students reflects a much differentset of world affairs than their

This crucially reflective type of review is usual inHigher Education, providing an arguable conclusion to the learning project activity. Thefollowing section provides engineering educators with a palate of tools for how to structure aproject engineering curriculum.Process of developing a global curriculumProgramme aim Produce global engineering professionals who are able to provide a more holistic perspective of global project processes; and Provide students with an innovative and forward-looking view of managing global engineering projects.Learning outcomes A higher level of generic and transferable management skills; A better understanding of the

Ideas or phenomena wereinitially identified and flagged to generate a listing of internally consistent, discrete categories(i.e., open coding), followed by fractured and reassembled (axial coding) categories by makingconnections between categories and subcategories to reflect emerging themes and patterns.Categories were then integrated to form grounded theory using selective categorization to clarifyconcepts and to allow for response interpretations, conclusions and event potentially taxonomydevelopment associated with critical features of a “global engineer”. Frequency distribution ofthe coded and categorized data was obtained. The intent of this

In comparison, USAFA currently provides their juniors ahands-on experience during a two-day lab with a pre-fabricated satellite kit. This paperevaluates curriculum changes that would allow undergraduate students the opportunity to create,test, and learn from their own satellite designs and evaluates the groundwork for thedevelopment of this labor intensive and challenging curriculum at the undergraduate level.Key words: Satellite Design, Hands-on Curriculum, Hardware Build and Test* The views expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not reflect the official policy

A proposed learning journey for professional engineering programConclusionsThis paper argues the case for the establishment of a global accord for the postgraduatelearning journey of engineers. The establishment of agreements covering educationalqualifications in engineering and competence standards for practicing engineers have resultedin increased engineering mobility and improved global standards. However, the papersuggests that the capability to perform provided by these competencies agreements do not Page 21.3.8ensure the professional development of engineers are complementary and adequate for them

leaders had been told that thecompetition was a “must win” project for their business, and the pressure that created appearedto inhibit them from reframing the problem when the design teams got into trouble. Instead, theyresponded to each successive difficulty by making the best of a bad situation. In the end, theleaders realized that they had missed numerous opportunities to press reset, redefine the problem,and move off in a new direction. We called this the “Leadership Box.” Page 21.9.6Finally, the Customer Simulation revealed the problem had one more dimension, one that wasidentified by the acquisition professionals themselves.

We wanted them to be aware of and appreciate the wider context and the policyimplications of their science and engineering activities. It was also to nudge them towardsviewing themselves as active participants in addressing Africa's science and technologychallenges.In tackling this assignment one of the major obstacles encountered by the students was the greatpressure related to the
