In order to help studentsto prevent these two common problems, we propose and summarize the new concept of a virtualfactory-based approach, and introduced & implemented it in our capstone design course. Page 22.890.3Through the virtual factory-based approach, each student and design team can design; constructvirtual components, virtual assemblies and the virtual product, and numerically test virtualcomponents and virtual assemblies of capstone design projects

. To ensure that students completing design projects takeprofessional responsibility seriously, below are four basic checklists that will help them throughan ethical analysis of their project. The checklists ask them:  to identify stakeholders and their interests;  to identify the standards or norms they are using to make decisions about a) technological development, b) economic impact, c) safety, d) public health, e) impact on society f) culture impact, i) equity, and j) environmental impacts;  to assess whether they are adhering to the professional guidelines in the NSPE Code of Ethics;  to review their project from at least three different ethical perspectivesOther pedagogical activities in this course

. The mostobvious “direct” assessment instrument available is student grades. Assigning grades is aroutine task. Tracking the fraction of students who earn A, B, and C in a course, orcalculating the average score on a particular assignment, are data collection tasks that Page 22.337.4require essentially no “extra” effort on the part of faculty. However, ABET cautionsagainst using grades as an assessment metric9 because a grade is a holistic evaluation ofwhether a student has met all of the instructor’s expectations. A class of students that hasone very specific and widespread shortcoming may still earn good grades. There areseveral recent examples of

Proactive Strategy The consistent and periodic review of the status quo, including safety practices and standards, is essential for ensuring workplace safety. It’s important for supervisors to properly supervise their employees to ensure they are working safely. Old habits are sometimes difficult to eliminate, especially when those habits seem to make the employee’s job easier or if an employee has been injury- free during his/her employment. Therefore, employees need to be constantly reminded of the importance of workplace safety and
