While both programs have been able toaccommodate this growth by adding course sections and increasing class sizes, swelling classsizes has sparked concern amongst faculty regarding the impact of larger classes on student-instructor interaction and student learning. In lieu of this concern, CEC instructors are lookingfor alternatives to

In both higheducation institutions, UTRGV and TecNM/ITM, students who complete their coursework mustcomplete an industry-related, research-based capstone project, which in specific cases involvethe design and development of a functional prototype.As part of the new projects definition, faculty advisors identified the need of including short-term research projects embedded in regular coursework, to enhance the students’ experience notonly at the Senior Project I and II, but also as part of the following courses: Solar EnergyTechnology, and Green Building Design II.

, EAC is “a holistic and interdisciplinary approachto integrating ethical concerns throughout the university academic program.”1The underlying assumption is that students will more readily understand, and perhaps evenappreciate, ethics material presented in a technical context. For example, learning about thedesign flaw that caused the Challenger disaster in a mechanical engineering/technologyclassroom differs from information imparted in a philosophy course, where the professor maynot be intimately familiar with joint rotation and the effects of cold weather on O-rings.An EAC approach not only contextualizes ethical content but also allows for vibrant classdiscussions in an already overcrowded technical curriculum, whereas adding a required

morals aretaught to an individual from a young age, mostly being the differentiation between “right” and“wrong” of some event or happening. In this fashion, morals then can be viewed as being one’spersonal belief in what is right or wrong and will seldom change over time. Ethics, on the otherhand, are rules more often set by societal mores, or, in the case of businesses, a code of conductthat benefits the business itself. One quick example is how, over the years, certain words werenot permitted in radio and television – they were unethical. In today’s programs, there are fewerand fewer instances of a speaker being “bleeped” for uttering a word that once not allowed. Theethics of the time have modified that permitted language use.DiscussionAs

Even though both ABET, an accrediting body of engineering andengineering technology programs [1], [2], and employers have indicated the need for students toknow more about standards before entering the workforce [3], the topic is not alwaysincorporated into curricula [4]. One reason is that many faculty believe that “adding anything toalready jam-packed curriculum is dismissed as virtually impossible” [5]. At Purdue Universityhowever, faculty have risen to the
