Engineering Ethics

Education, 2016 Perception of Academic Integrity among Students and Faculty: A Comparison of the Ethical Gray AreaAbstractAs long as there is schooling, there will be cheating. At times, it may be a front page scandal suchas recent willful fraud by administrators and teachers on high stakes testing in primary schools.At other times, a cheating incident may provide a teachable moment with regards to the ethicsand integrity that are so critical to the engineering profession. As with many complex issues,cheating exists on a continuum of sorts: what is acceptable to one may be highly unacceptable toanother, with a wide range of perceptions given a particular scenario. This work addresses relatedaspects of academic

Intentional contact with students with the goal of developing a caring and beneficial relationship typically leads to increased academic motivation and persistence. 2. When Engineering and Engineering Technology students faces academic challenges, sometimes they are hesitant to visit the faculty as they see it as a failure on them. What is intuitive to faculty is new to students. They may not see the relevance or meaning in the content or courses they have to take. Explaining it to them in a way that relates understanding is key to

Depending on thecomplexity of each institution’s governing document (which states the stipulations for eachcommittee’s required representation), making certain nominations and elections are carried out ina fair and equitable manner can prove to be a fairly daunting task.To streamline this yearly task and ensure continuity between former and current electioncommittees, the authors of this paper developed a technology-based system which automates thenomination/election process.

As his former advisee, Johnson posed no threatto the quality of work that the advisor is accustomed to producing. He was a tenured,associate professor; therefore, his primary goal was to have an opportunity to work with thewriter as a colleague, rather than a student. Since the former advisor was already establishedin the field, it was to the writers’ advantage to sign on as a co-author.Too often as new faculty members, we immediately set our sights on publishing a book.

Inresponse to these issues, we asked all departments to submit their mentoring plans for candidatesfrom this search to the Dean.

to advanced STEM courses during K-12 education, insufficient mentorshipopportunities, and a lack of representation in STEM faculty and leadership roles can createbarriers for these students are all barriers for these students (Dias, 2017). In addition to the lack of diversity concerning race and ethnicity, engineering educationhas continued to conserve a gender gap. Although women are enrolling in college at higher ratesthan men, engineering education is still largely homogeneous and heavily dominated by men(Camacho & Lord, 2013). Expanding upon the pre-existing gender disparity, it is noteworthy toacknowledge that women encounter implicit bias within the engineering pathway and may alsocontend with stereotype threat, creating an
