Biomedicalengineering is however narrower in scope than bioengineering, or biological engineering, withwhich it is sometimes equivocated. Bioengineering focuses on the engineering of biologicalprocesses and systems in general, and includes not only biomedical engineering but alsoagricultural engineering, food engineering and biotechnology.In part because biomedical engineering it itself a new field, there is currently no distinctacademic field of biomedical engineering ethics. Ethical issues in biomedical engineering arecurrently studied in the fields of bioethics, medical

. Furthermore, many instructional obstacles exist to incorporating ethicsinto the engineering curriculum, including instructor hesitancy to teach about issues in whichthey may have little training, difficulty identifying which ethics teaching practices are effective,and already-packed syllabi that allow little room for introduction of new topics. Thus, in thispaper, we describe a module in ethical problem-solving and an accompanying assessmentmechanism developed by the authors. This ethical problem-solving module addresses theaforementioned obstacles and may be readily adapted to other courses and engineeringdisciplines to achieve ethics education across the engineering curriculum. Implementation ofthis ethics module in biomedical engineering courses

These exercises are a powerful and effective way to help engineering andarchitecture educators teach spatial visualization.Most of the 3-D visualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphicsclasses present the objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multipleviews, fold patterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Exercises present the objects inincomplete multi-view projections, and ask the students to add missing lines.

significant developments were occurring. In1993, the Western Australian Universities were approached on behalf of two city councils toestablish a new regional campus. This coincided with a decision by the Federal governmentto redirect capital away from the established metropolitan campuses to other, more ruralareas, designated as high growth regions. The submission by Murdoch University, whichincluded establishing a new engineering program, was selected. This was followed in 1994by the WA state government decision that Murdoch University should develop newcampuses in the designated areas.

solution to theproblem. In the early 1990’s the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)began emphasizing the importance of design in the curriculum. What ABET sought to influencewere programs wherein students had some experience with design before they attempted theircapstone design project. Although design was usually added to other than circuits courses, a fewbrave circuits instructors began to add some design content to their courses. Some circuits textsbegan to include some design problems. Today including design content in the first and/orsecond circuits course is still far from being universally adopted. Many students, especiallythose in non-electrical/computer engineering programs, view linear circuits as uninteresting

The second option might be harder toimplement, since adding a new course to the curriculum is not an easy task, as often timeseliminating another course would be necessary. Offering it as an elective course is not a goodoption either, since every student is not going to get this experience.

curricula at the Air Force Academy providehigh quality, ABET-accredited programs, as do many other engineering schools. Oneunique aspect at the Air Force Academy is that the construction discipline serves as theintroduction and conclusion to the curriculum. In fact, the construction context is aconstant thread woven through much of the curriculum. This approach not only workswell academically, but it serves the students well in preparing them for the roles they willhave as civil engineering officers managing projects for the Air Force, and for theirengineering futures beyond military service.Bibliography1.
