Session T3D4 Ethics in Engineering Education Sarah J. Smith Engineering Technology Department Purdue University North Central AbstractHow are core ethical values within students developed so graduates are prepared to makeethically sound decisions? Some ethicists believe humanity is entering an era referred toas the Morally Deficient Society. Yet almost a century ago, Teddy Roosevelt stated “Wedraw the line against misconduct, not against wealth. The capitalist who, alone or inconjunction with his fellows

Web-basedexperimentation is evolving rapidly and offers students convenient and repeated access to limitedlaboratory resources. The immediacy and accessibility of web-based experiments can also assistnew student outreach and faculty teaching effectiveness.Many web-based experiments can be

Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Educating Civil Engineering TechnologistsIntroduction Civil engineering work has evolved to encompass the distinctive roles and competencies of professional engineers, technologists and technicians. A civil engineering technologist is a specialist trained to work in one or more technical areas within the civil engineering field. Engineering technologists often work under professional engineers, yet they are expected to demonstrate competency for completion of independent activities within their particular area(s) of specialty. In many cases, civil engineering technologists acquire unique skills and knowledge that complement those of a professional engineer. In contrast, civil

Once the relatively high level of funding ended, the courses emphasized finiteelement modeling software tools for predicting MEMS device performance. In 2004, the coursestransitioned to design for fabrication using a commercial process with hands-on testing ofexemplar devices. Eventually, an array of functional devices was possible that became known asthe MEMS Education Chip.
