A cadre ofinterdisciplinary ATE faculty from across the state conducted research and participated inextensive faculty development to prepare to better meet the needs of students and solve thechronic problem of poor retention and low graduation rates. Research efforts conducted by theSC ATE Center included commissioning a research report on enrollment and retention in thestate’s engineering technology programs, presenting results of a second research study, andhosting focus group and panel discussions at a 1998 Retention Forum.

Many formal courses and programs have in turn been created to promote professionalresponsibility and ethical integrity among engineering graduates. Other interventions (e.g.,service learning programs) have also been developed to more broadly challenge engineeringstudents to develop as engaged citizens and community members. Yet there has been a notablelack of research on measures and understandings of social and ethical responsibility amongundergraduate engineering students.
