Because of the importance ofdeveloping ethical engineers, it is critical to identify these obstacles so they can be addressed byengineering programs. This study investigates these obstacles and suggests ways to overcomethem.Literature ReviewThe importance of developing ethical engineers highlights the need to integrate ethics intoengineering education.

of Engineering (CoE) at VillanovaUniversity in this effort. • Currently, the ethics requirement in our college is perceived as one of a series of checklist requirements that need to be satisfied. Ethics is perceived, as well, as the expertise of non-engineers, and not necessarily integral to the technical engineering profession. An ethics across the curriculum approach will send the message, both performatively as well as rhetorically, that ethics is not simply an academic discipline, limited to college campuses, but that ethics is a part and parcel of the professional life of an engineer. By having engineering faculty engaging in discussions of ethics in their engineering classes, they will

As you can tell, students taking adata mining course need to have background in quite a few areas to be successful. Not everystudent taking this course may have the background required in all these areas. The question ishow can an instructor remedy the challenge of teaching a group of students with widely-rangingbackgrounds, and at what level should this course be taught. Furthermore, the issue of groupwork arises, specifically as to whether data mining course projects should be accomplishedindividually or as teams.Studies show that many universities are teaching data mining course(s) within their computersscience curriculum.

In response, the newly-revised engineering curricula have begun torecognize the need for the diversity of scope, expertise, and even resources in the engineeringeducation. A multifaceted curriculum aims at training engineers who can work at multinationalcorporations in teams composed of a wide range of expertise and technical and culturalbackground. Therefore, the formation of inter-discipline, inter
