These stages provide students with hands-on experience including, but notlimited to, data collection/analysis, service life estimation, observation/critical thinking, andtechnical presentations.The first stage is focused upon receiving the “intel” (scenario prompt) of the staged scenario.Depending upon the customization, this includes, but is not limited to, an equipment overview,assembly and component geometries, product information, loading and usage, production scale,etc. Students perform an initial analysis upon the equipment assembly and determine if thereported design information adheres

[1]Understanding one’s own biases and prejudices can help one develop skills to enhanceinteractions and engagement with individuals from another culture. Biases begin from ourpersonal backgrounds, e.g. experience and information that we gather early in life and are mademore complex because they intersect with our culture and identity.

The archivalresearch conducted for these two articles demonstrates that the inclusion of ethical principles inat least two professional codes was a fairly recent addition driven by the need to protectengineers and their professional societies from damaging public relations events.
