ETD 335 Managing Ethics Cases in Technical Courses Marilyn A. Dyrud Oregon Institute of TechnologyIntroductionCase studies have been used in teaching since antiquity. Modern usage began in the 1870s andhas since been a staple in such fields as law, business, medicine, psychology, and ethics.Cases offer several distinct advantages over other pedagogical methods. First, they are engaging,since they are narratives, and humans have a natural affinity for stories. Second, they offer realsituations, which makes it easier for students to relate to the information
. Page 11.1289.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006 The Evolution of a Technical CurriculumCurriculum development is one of the most exciting, rewarding and challenging aspects ofhigher education. Quickly changing technologies and economic factors require education that isagile and creative. Establishing a new curriculum is often difficult due to procedural steps,limited resources and internal politics. Once in place, it needs to maintain technical currency aswell as attractiveness to the student and employer.This paper presents a history documenting the birth of a unique degree program and itssubsequent evolution to remain effective in a very dynamic and technical world. This storyreveals on-going challenges

. Page 25.15.3IntroductionOne of the areas in which many engineering students are deficient is their writing andcommunication skills. Although engineering students are required to take several laboratorytype classes, which include laboratory reports, and technical writing type English classes, therestill exists the need for more writing opportunities. This paper deals with one method to give thestudents more opportunities to write research papers without significantly increasing their workload. This method also does not significantly increase the grading load of the instructor. Beingable to adequately research a topic is also an important tool in an engineer’s arsenal. Thisteaching method promotes active learning as the primary learning

Our goal hasbeen to provide an introduction to such perspectives in typical interdisciplinary first-semesterclasses of engineering design and/or communications.For several years, we have been using a modification to classroom use of commercial simulationsof manufacturing. The activity is usually done in the evening accompanied by pizza and softdrinks. The materials used are paper templates that require student teams to perform many stepsof cutting, folding, adorning, inspecting for quality, and launching for accuracy on a target. Theformat is a competition allowing redesign and improvement from the first (usually quiteineffective) and second (somewhat better) member assignments and team

Algorithm Bias:A Survey of Computer Science Student PerceptionsAbstractIn the United States, Google performs over 3.9 million searches per minute. Monthly desktopsearches can exceed over 10.7 billion and mobile searches are predicted to grow steadily.Concurrently, recent discourse has raised questions about bias in search engines and big dataalgorithms. As the information universe becomes increasingly dominated by algorithms,computer scientists and engineers have ethical obligations to create systems that do no harm. Inthis paper, the authors discuss a survey that was conducted of computer science and computerengineering students' perceptions of algorithm bias. The aim of the survey was to gatherpreliminary data on how
