A sociology course“Ethics and the Professions”, has been offered for several years and is quite popular withengineering students who choose it as part of their humanities/social science elective package. Itwas decided to formally link the design course with the sociology course through the use of anintegrated learning block (ILB), making the “Ethics in the Professions” course a required courseinstead of elective. An ILB is constructed as a

However, the authors have observed the contrary appears to be the case. Thispaper suggests that there exist two basic differences between the electrical engineering and non-electrical engineering curricula that are responsible for present difficulties in teaching controls tonon-electrical engineering majors.

For example, the overwhelming majority offormal student-faculty contact hours in engineering education remains based on the in-classlecture. The weaknesses of the traditional lecture as the prime source of academic learning, havehowever become clear.1-3 Specifically, many feel that the exclusive use of lectures can create apassive learning environment that reinforces any pre-existing “teach me” attitudes in students.4Ongoing research in educational methods at WPI5 has also

Instructors express resistancetowards using quality language and tools because it would allow students to have an activeinvolvement in classroom management. Tracking course effectiveness, as a way to improveteaching and learning, is not emphasized in the traditional higher education culture. This culturegives greater importance to research when evaluating a professor’s performance. Theexistence of tenure has been singled out as one of the major reasons why teaching is not givenits right value. However, the discussion about tenure is nothing else but a good excuse to makeno change and maintain the status quo. Despite of this
