In turn, jointcollaboration can provide the College with additional revenue and access to industrial equipmentand setups not available on campus. Successful ventures also help overcome the complaintsabout engineering education: lack of hands-on experience, not enough teamwork, and textbookproblems rather than real-world applications. Students’ involvement in such collaborative effortscan boost their self-confidence and help in improving their communication skills.

The connections required to use the virtual function generator and oscilloscope were not clear. These issues added an extra level of complexity to the tool use and did not help students who had extremely limited experience in circuit prototyping.

Interactive demonstrations in thesoftware introduce concepts and GIS tools, then scripted tutorials require students to use GIS towork through a guided project that is framed within the context of a real civil engineeringproblem and based on real data sets. As skills are developed, tasks become less guided,promoting students to think independently about how to utilize the software to accomplishspecified outcomes without being told the exact process.

in engineering courses in curriculum. Theprocess knowledge component is where engineering ethics matters in design courses because itfocuses on how students apply their material knowledge in their practices and how they makedecisions during the design process. Moreover, process knowledge can be more subjective andimplicate moral judgments while material knowledge may not be related to ethics directly. Thus,engineering ethics and design can be linked to process knowledge and considered together.Bringing ethics into the design process helps students identify ethical issues, and holisticallysolve problems with a consideration of societal impact [6]. Thus, the design process should beconceptualized, and ethical questions should be addressed
