The CEO is concerned about organizational success,financial issues, operational processes, and business risk. The CEO position must view theorganization from a bird’s eye view to determine why the organization exists and what theultimate goals are. When it comes to information security, however, the CEO is typically only apart of a team that makes final business and information security decisions and asks questionssuch as, “Should the information security project be funded? Is this information security strategya good fit for this organization? Are the costs (i.e. time, money, resources) for the

Electronic communications have been increased between the sponsor’sCEO and the student interns to mitigate the distance problem because many students havea propensity to be non-proactive on their own volition (possibly a maturity issue).

As formalized in ABET 2000, many engineering educatorsare committed to cultivating among our students a sense of professional responsibility andsensitivity to the complex social and ethical dimensions of engineering practice. We are thuslooking for opportunities to more explicitly connect our students’ learning with the importantcommunity issues that engineers help to address and with the people whose lives are affected byour profession. As with any discipline, service-learning presents unique challenges and opportunities toengineering students and faculty. Many of

The proposal also requiresthe students to use moral imagination both to critique their own mental models and to appreciatethe perspectives of a variety of stakeholders who may view the project quite differently than theexperimenters and to anticipate potential risks and negative impacts.7All undergraduate theses are written for a combined readership of expert and non-expertaudiences

Instead of just being comfortable with a goodpaycheck, students have some very tangible reasons to make intelligent judgements on the value ofthe experience.An additional issue that is discussed with the students before they begin work is the level of theirtechnical experience. Many faculty express concern regarding the extent of the technicalexperience. Since the students coming from the College of Engineering at Michigan StateUniversity will ultimately graduate as engineers, it is important that the experiences that theyencounter reflect work in the engineering world.

the most controversial one to address. If technology orengineering-related topics are to be included in the general education curriculum, one will findmany objecting voices to the replacement of traditional fields of study with the new materials. Acompromise on this issue is hard to achieve. An unconventional way to solve this problem is tostructure a technical section of freshman preceptorial that can be taken by those who desire it. Asthese technology and engineering-related topics gain acceptability and popularity, it can become apermanent fixture in the general education curriculum.The third concern is somewhat problematic because it may involve “turf battles”. Theconventional fields of general education are traditionally taught by
