affected by such an academic phenomena. It is intuitive that a student’sacademic success prior to leaving engineering (such as grade-point average) has some impact onwhether they leave engineering as well as that student’s post-engineering academic success. Infact, many research studies have explored these relationships. In a landmark study, Astin showedthat majoring in engineering had a negative effect on both grade-point average and chance ofgraduation.1 Seymour and Hewitt documented a three-year study in which they interviewedstudents about their decision to leave the sciences.2 While there were no major differencesamong different types of institutions in regard to the problems described by their students,students at all types of institutions

To address this need, we are creatingan undergraduate biomedical engineering (BME) ethics course, which will raise awareness instudents and better prepare them for future careers in bioengineering, clinical medicine, andbiomedical research. Since many BME students will enter careers in fields other than biomedical engineering, itis important to develop a clear and distinct definition of bioethics for biomedical engineering.Upon graduation, about a third of students typically enter careers in biomedical engineering orother engineering related fields, another third will enter advanced studies in BME or otherdisciplines, and another third will enter medical school or other clinical medicine fields

Conclusions and Recommendations for Further Study.Define MissionWithin the BOK framework, the final formal education of professional engineers takesplace during their graduate study. The baccalaureate provides a broad base of learningthat prepares the civil engineering student to move into specialization, but the BOKintends the majority of specialization to occur in graduate study. Each civil engineeringspecialization within a department should define their mission in filling this need. Theymay choose to emphasize preparation of the best possible engineering designer, manager,researcher, or educator. They may make it their mission to provide several tracks studentscould follow to one of those goals. However, it is important the mission of the
