To work in line with this mission, the College ofEngineering set a goal to expand experiential learning opportunities for its students. As part ofthis, the engineering dean discussed collaborations with all the other academic deans, fromwhich they were able to identify several key opportunities to explore and

This model for capstone design presented additionalchallenges in that it required collaboration between faculty at Howard University that traditionallywould not collaborate. In addition to the challenges on the academic side, considerations had tobe made for ownership of rights to the final design projects, which ultimately resided with theindustry partner 10 .

Accordingly, society expects thatengineers will execute their responsibilities in an ethical manner.

For example, IEEE (formerly the Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers), the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and the NationalSociety of Professional Engineers (NSPE) each endorse codes with language that emphasizes theimportance of ethics in the execution of an engineer’s professional duties 1, 2

engineers deal with a wide variety of information at various steps of a project. Time constraints imposed on the design team as well the need for diverse information challenges design engineers. Diverse information ranges from abstract ideas in the conceptual design step to the smallest details in the detailed design, from checking patents for new ideas to avoid any infringing of existing patents and trade names. Because of this need, the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has articulated the importance of student outcomes to include “(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”, and “(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” [5]  Design
