are now introducedto both the technical aspects of design and the associated project management concepts in theintroductory ECE course.5 Students have become more confident in their design abilities, whichhas led to more complex and sophisticated work in subsequent project-based courses. Upper-level electives, the majority of which had little project-based work previously, now furtheremphasize design and require physical space and specialized tools. Not surprisingly, seniorcapstone design courses, required of all graduates, place the greatest demand on our projectfacilities. In conjunction with the reforms, project complexity has increased and we haveobserved an increase in the need for more state-of-the-art tools and resources such as theSMT

the workforce. The great clockworkmodel reduces human beings to cogs in a machine, resources to be deployed by trainedspecialists – a model in other words with implications for ethics. As engineers turn toward socialsystems as a way of understanding and leading human organizations, they must consider theethical implications of their new perspective.This paper asks whether the shift toward systems thinking alters the landscape. It might be thatsystems thinking is, from the standpoint of ethics, nothing more than a more sophisticatedversion of the previous perspective. If this is the case, then systems thinking inherits the sameethical concerns. At most, perhaps it obscures or exaggerates them. Optimistically, it might bethat systems thinking

Integrating Sustainability Within Ethics Discourse: A Freshmen Perspective Seetha V. Veeraghanta, Janice W. Frost University of Utah, Undergraduate Studies ProgramAbstractRecently, engineering academia has recognized the importance of including ethics and the conceptof sustainability into the curriculum. This development is evidenced in the ABET guidelines, viz.,“…engineering standards and realistic constraints - economic, environmental, sustainability,ethical, health and safety, social and economic” [1].In this paper, we present the argument that incorporating theories and concepts of global resourcesustainability into a discussion of ethics enables a first-year student to comprehend

A systems approach challenges engineers to incorporate environmental, social, andeconomic considerations, as well as technical aspects within engineering solutions. Likewise,definitions of sustainability often suggest a more holistic approach to problem solving thatincludes the triple bottom line (i.e., economic viability, and social and ecological justice

promise for solving many of the problems facing the modernworld and for improving the lives of every person in that world. However, it also holds great perilfor creating new problems and for destroying the world as we know it. Engineers are in a uniqueposition to understand the technical issues surrounding the emerging technology they are helping tocreate, and it is imperative that we, as engineering educators, help them to develop the knowledge,skills, and attitudes to help society make wise choices concerning the development and applicationof emerging technologies. We must help them to recognize the larger societal context of their workin order to ensure that they will use their engineering skills to improve the world, rather than todestroy it
