presented with the engineering code of ethics and discussed various ethics casestudies. Each team performed an ethics case study and presented their analysis of the case to theclass. In addition, students performed a lab activity in which they were introduced to a series ofethical situations. Discussion of the ethical situations highlights the assumptions that are used inmaking judgment.ConclusionsThe first year of the college-wide, multidisciplinary senior design project course was a success.By using teams of students from different disciplines, students were able to take amultidisciplinary look at the problems that needed to be solved and create successful solutions tosponsored projects.

For the rest of us,learning to be a good teacher can be an awkward, sometimes frustrating, process of trial and error that isoftentimes unsatisfactory to both the fledgling instructor and to the students. To overcome these limitations,individuals who are preparing for careers as elementary or secondary education instructors are required tocomplete a program of study that includes a core of professional education and methodology courses, as wellas a supervised teaching practicum

found on a museum panel for instance, could actually inform the reader ofa fairly complicated idea (the continuum of 3D form) in a very succinct manner.Thus the strategy of the survey was to first have the respondent identify his or her field ofstudy. Then the survey showed five somewhat similar images. We decided to use onlynon-habitable tall slender towers as our forms. The reasoning was that we needed tocontrol variability as much as possible and not introduce a wide range of structures.After viewing the five forms, the respondent was asked to categorize them as sculptural,architectural or structural form, but to do so without any guidance or prompting from thesurvey. Then, a brief educational panel of material presented the previously

The transition from graduate student to new faculty is truly a challenging one.Finding students (like you used to be) is an essential step, and then mentoring them towardsfulfillment for both you and them is a learning process. New faculty accustomed to doing it allthemselves often have a hard time handing project ownership over to students.During this talk, we will encourage an open discussion to provide feedback on specific issuesthat new faculty may have run into.
