Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2005, American Society for Engineering EducationWhatever the correctness of that debate of how full or empty the glass of opportunities is, globalcareer competition is a fact and will increase in intensity6. In a real sense, global careercompetition is prototypical of the problems created by globalization. The simple facts are thatknowledge favors those who seek it and that knowledge is readily available to virtuallyeveryone. Thus, engineering design will follow the historic path of manufacturing from westernnations to global markets. A process of world-wide employment equalization appears to be underway that includes the migration of highly skilled jobs.Global career

Unfortunately, the currentengineering education has often failed in this aspect and that is why the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) has cooperated with several universities1 to establish pilot programs to deviseplans to implement a wholesale renovation of the engineering education.Among many concepts, NSF has identified “Engineering Curriculum Integration” as one of themost promising innovations2,3. It is proposed that new engineering curricula should teach theconnectivity of relevant engineering subjects and emphasize their relationship to practicalengineering processes. Positive results from

As a result, green engineering could become a centralcomponent of the chemical engineering curriculum.

This is probably the element that isnot much emphasized in their current curriculum, so virtual applications would actually fill a gapin their education. On the other hand, ME students, who seem to be the least interested in thevirtual reality applications, would prefer to see class projects and different job/position role-playing in the virtual world, because perhaps this is currently the missing component from theircurriculum.

Success of this concept willbe measured by the overall ethical behavior of our graduates throughout their professionalcareers. V. SummaryIn summary, engineering ethics is an important and vital part of engineering education. Becauseof that fact, engineering ethics is defined, presented, and emphasized in all required coursesacross the civil, environmental, and architectural curriculum by all CEAE faculty members, mostof whom are Professional Engineers. To not emphasize the importance of engineering ethics isunfair to our students, and unethical as well.References1. Burghardt, M. David, “Introduction to Engineering,” Harper Collins Publishers, ISBN
