Typically, ethics education issummarized into four main goals: 1) to make students aware of professional expectations, 2) tosensitize students to potential ethical issues that may arise, 3) to improve the students’ ethicaldecision making, and 4) to motivate them to behave ethically [2].The recent unscrupulous activity at high profile companies like Volkswagen [3] and Boeing [4]underscores the need to better prepare students for their professional practice. Unfortunately,effectively forming ethically-minded students is challenging due to credit hour limitations in theengineering curriculum, low student engagement, and a lack of perceived value in the

These courses present challenges for the instructor; students may arrive with littlemotivation to engage with content outside their chosen major. Previous research has alreadyexamined motivational issues in this and other service courses, such physics-for-life-scientists,mathematics-for-engineers, and chemistry-for-nonscientists. The author taughtcircuits-for-nonmajors following a strictly applied approach. All circuits analyzed in class or onhomework were circuits for disciplinarily authentic devices, such as household wiring,electrostatic precipitators, resistance thermometers, roadway lighting, or hydrogen fuel cells

scarcity of information describing the benefits of home automation applications limits thepossibilities for innovation; however, users are starting to realize the potential benefits ofautomation to achieve sustainability goals. As this awareness grows, the demand for networkingproducts for home automation applications will increase [17].As we are living in the era of information, security issues are important to address, given thepossibility of networking and connectivity compromising user privacy. Furthermore, theinnovative technology used in home automation could introduce new security gaps not facedbefore. Thus, an additional opportunity for improvement is the utilization of sensors andnetworking to address such safety and privacy issues, along

By doing these activities, students cangain knowledge about issues such as what measurements to use, how to develop a feasibility studyprogram, how to conduct computer-based data acquisition and analysis processes, how to validateexperimental data for both deterministic and random processes, how to design experiments, how toapply both statistical and deterministic tools for data analysis, and how to disseminate

However, whatinformation does exist suggests that this lack of research impedes the professional growth ofthose who are involved in engineering technology, including restricting the ability of faculty torecruit students interested in engineering technology programs, decreasing the effectiveness ofguidance available to those students through advisors and outside programs, and preventinginequities currently present in the engineering field as a whole from being addressed.

It is through these events that departments now have an additional year to recruit students. When General Engineering was implemented in 2014, many faculty members in engineering technology were concerned it would have a negative impact on program enrollment. For the first two years (Figure 2), the department did not see any substantial changes in how enrollment changed from year-to-year.

The class is lecture-based, but faculty and practicing engineers from industry are ofteninvited to give presentations on their work.

These types of academic activities alsohave the added benefit of giving the feeling of students being a ‘class’, rather than a name in alist of a video conference.The majority of research, however, shows that there are many concerns, with online education,many of which were the same concerns that held back the implementation of online education inthe past. A key concern that professors and lecturers have is how to properly assess their studentson the knowledge they seek to impart on them [12-14]. In a traditional format, the majority ofcourses will have a mixture of assignments, and a midterm and a final exam. In an online format,teaching teams and faculty have to determine new and effective ways to assess their students.Another issue is how to
