skills in the development of engineers, so that they are prepared to enter theworkplace. One critical component of this thread is exposing students to ethical considerationsthat they may encounter in their professional careers and preparing the students to deal withthem.This paper discusses the process by which we have identified how to deconstruct the componentsof a traditional delivery of ethics education and integrate them throughout the instruction oftechnical content. A well-established method to raise the perceived relevance of ethics educationin engineering is to provide discipline-specific case studies and industrial scenarios [1], [2]. Bycrafting case studies to the technical material that the students are currently studying, we aim

research institution, a regional university was created thatspans multiple campuses located over an area of hundred miles across the Rio Grande Valley bymerging at least three current institutions. The merge allowed the university to pool its humanand technical resources. Students can now pursue new degrees that were not available before atone campus or another, take newly available technical or specialty courses, and even select theirown preferred professor when a course is offered by many faculty.In order to serve students at multiple campuses that are geographically far apart, the universityinstituted policies to facilitate accessibility of courses to all students while meeting prerequisitesand minimum enrollment requirements.

inscience and technology (S&T), innovation, and productivity enhancements. In fields as diverseas education, infrastructure, and information technology, development funds are flowing toengineering expertise that can work with players in developing countries not only to supportconcrete projects, but ultimately to build the local capacity of policy-makers, educators, and theprivate sector, without which the sustainability of any progress is compromised. It is this lattereffort – the process of capacity building and the role of the engineering education sector – that isparticularly exciting for the American engineering education community.This paper will outline the confluence of economic drivers and development challenges thattoday foster
