The goals of the activities areto a) raise student awareness and stimulate interest in the topics and b) inspire studentsto pursue a degree in a new manufacturing-related college major at a Midwesternuniversity. The authors collected information on the existing activities from differentsources, such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) website, different professionaleducation websites of the top engineering universities in the United States, and others.The authors worked with the leadership from the Midwestern university’s academia-industry collaboration center and select manufacturing industry stakeholders to retrieveadditional activities.The content

previously noted, morals are most often related to a sense of “right” and “wrong”. That sensedoes not generally change but may over time. For example, years ago it was considered immoralfor a lady’s dress to show her ankles. Consider styles today, throwing in shorts, jeans, and themini-skirt, that level of immorality has certainly changed! In a more contentious example,consider same sex marriage. Many people consider such an arrangement to be immoral andshould not be allowed. That question has been resolved from an ethical perspective by theUnited States Supreme Court, and the societal mores are found to be acceptable – by law.
