The draft manuscripts were due two months prior to a workshop gathering. Eachauthor wrote reviews of eight to nine other manuscripts prior to the workshop, and the organizerssubmitted separate commentaries. The key feature of the workshop was that authors could not participate in the discussions oftheir manuscripts.

Traditionally, the development of attributessuch as these have not been the primary goals of the undergraduate engineering curriculum,although recent changes in accreditation standards strongly encourage engineering programs tohelp students develop teamwork and lifelong learning skills.While support for what have been understood historically as liberal (or general) education goalsfuels many discussions in engineering education community, the level to which these goalscurrently permeate

Projects for 35 different undergraduate requiredcourses are summarized to help faculty, staff, and students develop S-L projects for their owncourses.

Exposing students to the importance of ethics via, for example, a lecture on theNSPE Code of Ethics or a reading assignment on plagiarism may accomplish something on itsown, but such relatively low-stakes activities do little to put students in the position ofcontemplating and then making ethics-related decisions – they do little, in other words, to bringthe subject to life for students.One simple way to engage students more fully in the experience of professional ethics is the useof case studies
