the United States Air Force Academy is discussed, and a plan forimproving ethics across the curriculum is outlined.II. Engineering EducationPrior to 1950 the emphasis in engineering education was on design according to codes and otherstandardized methods outlined in handbooks. It was seen as a very practical subject, with littleapplication of mathematics beyond elementary calculus. During the 1950s and 1960s engineeringeducation experienced a true paradigm shift from this applied, practice-oriented focus to amathematical, academic, ‘engineering science’ focus. 2 Although this model has undergonevarious revisions during the past 40 years, it is still the predominant pedagogy used in engineeringeducation.Since the late 1980s there have been a

However, a close reading of the report also reveals twovoices. On the one hand, there was the voice of educators and administrators eager to celebratethe fact that engineering can serve as rigorous preparation for a variety of future occupations. Onthe other hand, there was a smaller number of educators, including NAE staff members who,through their engagement with the literature on women and minorities in engineering educationsought to make the point that many students enter engineering with diverse backgrounds andpreparation in

Worldeducation rankings show the US lagging behind other nations in developing STEM skills [1]. Inorder to help overcome this widening gap, the US began a push for STEM opportunities for K-12students outside of schools, especially for reach underrepresented minority (URM) students whomay not have equal access to STEM opportunities. In 2007, the University of Arkansas Collegeof Engineering (UACOE) began offering summer programs to increase STEM exposure. In thesecamps, students are free to develop

The course is based on research and materials created with the support of NSF fundingthat were successfully used in face-to-face instruction in four-year universities.SKIITS focuses on three research questions:1. Can effective materials developed through earlier NSF funding to improve spatial skills be transformed into an effective set of online resources?2. Does providing spatial skills training improve the retention of low-spatial-ability students, including women in technician programs?3

virtue is a higher standard than ethics. While something may beethical in terms of codes, standards, and industry norms, it may not be virtuous. Events in theauthor’s experience will illustrate this point. These are presented as case studies where one isargued to be an example of non-virtuous engineering and one is presented as an example ofvirtuous engineering. In addition to two case studies, this paper will briefly consider the virtuesrelevant to engineering and discuss some factors related to ethics that impact equipment designand operations. The thesis of this paper is there may be a moral component in process andequipment design that goes beyond traditional engineering ethics training.IntroductionEthics, virtues, and morals are

Research has shown that CS majors are seen asmostly nerdy, lazy, introverted white and Asian men with a strong interest in mathematics [3, 4, 5].These stereotypes are common among both CS students and the larger world, and undermine ef-forts to diversify student populations because they discourage some students from entering thefield who might otherwise be interested in CS. In addition, these stereotypes feed into identity con-cerns such as stereotype threat and imposter phenomenon [6], which can interfere with a student’sresilience.These stereotypes are problematic, but we face an additional challenge: the statistics affirm thedemographic stereotypes.

Beyond the passive effects, one of the first major engineering questions was howthe house would be actively heated and cooled to meet the strict temperature and humidityrange imposed by the contest rules. A typical new house today (including most of theother schools’ Decathlon houses) is built with a forced-air system, which moves air from acentralized heat pump out to the house through ductwork. The team determined that thiswas neither the most efficient nor most comfortable way to control temperature orhumidity and opted instead for a hydronic radiant floor system that ran warm water (solar-heated when that is available) through tubing embedded in the floor. This easily won overthe architecture students, as it promised
