These courses have developed a reputation for success, for breaking downsome of the barriers between the humanists and the engineers, and—most important—preparingengineering students for the demanding levels of literacy required both for university courseworkand the workplace.During the summer 2009

A technical report that described the robot and provided an analysis on its capabilities,was required upon completion. Unlike many undergraduate engineering courses, this course was designed for students to bothgain knowledge in engineering theory, as well as to acquire design experience in a hands-on teamsetting. When classes were transitioned to operating in a fully remote setting, the instructional teamdecided to develop a hardware kit to enable an at-home version of the design course.

A more effective method is to provide students with ethical situationsand then require them to think about their feelings on the issue.5 A meta-analysis of 26 ethicsprograms in the sciences found that the most successful ethics training programs were case-basedand interactive.
