ethics and engineering ethics. Yet,professional ethical issues in biomedical engineering are often different from the onestraditionally discussed in these fields. Biomedical engineers differ from medical practitioners,and are similar to other engineers, in that they are involved in research for and development ofnew technology, and do not engage in the study, diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biomedicalengineers differ from other engineers, and are similar to medical practitioners, in that they aim tocontribute to good patient care and healthcare. The ethical responsibilities of biomedicalengineers thus combine those of engineers and medical professionals, including a responsibilityto adhere to general ethical standards in research and
has been the pattern in U. S. education. The developers of theStandards propose that fewer topics be taught to a deeper conceptual level, so that studentsdevelop an understanding of the big ideas, which can then be applied to other areas. Oneemphasis of the science Standards is on teaching science as a process of inquiry, honoringstudents’ prior understanding of the natural world around them and building upon that byallowing students to investigate questions they themselves frame. When teachers and schooldistricts develop their science and math core curriculum around the Standards, a more coherentprogram of instruction emerges; equity for all students and excellence of instruction areachievable

This evolving reality transforms the learning process from atraditional model of novices learning from experts to one that embraces concepts such as thecollective exploration versus exploitation tradeoff. It also shifts the paradigm of facultydevelopment from the expert presenter to the informed facilitator. The literature has already noteda transition from working on faculty to working with faculty. This article explores a furthershift—from working with them to actively supporting collective faculty learning. To illustratethis point, consider the role of the facilitator as guiding the collective learning process by pointingto key facts, such as faculty evaluation guidelines, or empirically

In this paper, we show how the culminatingdesign experience can be framed so as to expand the scope of its contribution in the education ofengineering students.
