On average, 60% ofstudents entering this university are first generation college students. The school is an entrancepoint for those who have not previously considered higher education. In a high technology area,there are both job opportunities and a culture of engineering innovation. Given these realities,the College of Engineering sees itself as the vanguard of attracting underrepresented students forits region.2. Underrepresented Groups in EngineeringThe lack of engineers in the USA is a huge problem, made worse by the retiring of a generationoriginally motivated by the space race.1,2 and a declining interest in engineering.3 Moreengineers

. Recognizing this disconnect,some in the discipline have begun reaching out beyond the ivory tower, to talk about thepractical applications of their discussions for concrete environmental policies6,7.The clear motivation to increase exposure of civil engineering students to content beyondtraditional technical civil engineering skills has created a number of approaches to accomplishthis objective. Three common approaches are (1) requiring humanities courses to be taken asgeneral education requirements as part of the Bachelor of Science degree, (2) exposing civilengineering students to the humanities in civil engineering courses taught by broadly read civilengineering professors8, and (3) introducing modules or blocks of learning in the civilengineering

This skill need is reflected in ABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs:Programs must demonstrate that their students have “an ability to function on multidisciplinaryteams.” [5] To enable the success of their graduates and employers of their graduates,engineering programs must prepare and document that their graduates can effectively developand consistently contribute value to multidisciplinary teams.Teaching engineering students teamwork, although vital to success of the student and theprogram, is attempted in many different ways, with varied success

The class isorganized in two parts: a “design boot camp” in which students are involved in designchallenges from the first day of class for the first half of the semester, and an in-depth challengeduring the second half.

IntroductionAs I teach and advise engineering students, I am constantly amazed at their motivation, theircapacity for hard work, their intelligence. But I am also often amazed at their lack of self-awareness, at their “can’t see the forest for the trees” approach to getting through each hour, eachday, each semester, a college education.

morality as the determination of right and wrong behavior while ethics is the processby which morals are synthesized into a coherent system. Furthermore, we adopt three primarypropositions: 1. Morality is intimately involved with everyday experiences; 2. Morality and Ethics can, and should be taught; 3. Moral reflection is an important daily occurrence – Socrates The first proposition is in responses to students (and faculty, administrators, staff, etc.)who consider their daily activities to be outside the range of activities to which moral judgmentsshould be applied. This is what allows students to excuse plagiarism – it is a common activity towhich such esoteric philosophical musings as considerations of
