Finally, the FAA has weighted in on privacy concerns by mandating thatFAA supported UAS test sites must provide a public privacy policy12.3.3 Other IssuesA number of additional ethics issues can be summarized as follows.One concern closely tied to professional ethics is the attribution of responsibility associated witha mishap of an unmanned system. For instance, if a dock worker is injured on the job due to afailure of an unmanned system to detect and avoid that worker, would the liability be assessed toa human supervisor that is overseeing one or multiple

students need multiple forms of support, including explicit teacher guidance, in order tolearn from design activities.20-21 From the perspective of socioconstructivist theories of learning,support or “scaffolding” often comes in the form of social interaction with “more knowledgeableothers.”22-25 In a learning-to-design context, public design critique sessions can play importantscaffolding roles by interjecting important features of scaffolded instruction. For instance, designcritiques can facilitate intersubjectivity about the goals of project activities, support a teacher’songoing assessment about students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills so that she or he canprovide graduated assistance20, maintain direction, highlight critical task

These factors continuously determine the instructorto maintain an industry-oriented course to impart knowledge about the skills that employers arelooking for and implement their requirements directly in the classroom. Further scholarship canbe sought from industry practices applied directly to student education based on findings of theseprojects. In a comparative study, Galloway 2 found that lack of uniformity in the instruction ofCPM scheduling, the knowledge base of those graduating and then applying CPM scheduling toconstruction projects vastly varies, thus serving as a root cause for misunderstandings among theparties relative to what is required by the contract

Relation to this PaperStarting in 2008, the ASME Vision 2030 Task Force investigated the current state of mechanicalengineering education and practice within industry. In addition to an engineering educationliterature review, extensive surveys of three key stakeholder groups (mechanical engineering andmechanical engineering technology department heads, industry supervisors and early careerengineers) were conducted to assess the strengths and weaknesses of mechanical engineeringeducation graduates. Responses were received from academic leaders at more than 80institutions, from more than 1,400 engineering managers, and more than 600 early careerengineers (those with less than ten years of practice). These survey responses were shown to

The MBI is a widely accepted questionnaire for numerous burnout studies thathave been proven both reliable and valid in these studies. It generally measures 3 constructs;depersonalization, personal achievement, and emotional exhaustion, which relate burnout to therespondents’ physical well-being.
