and creativity. The moretechnologically advanced a particular project is, the more help the students require to complete itand the less creativity they are able to use during the design process. One of the hardest parts ofdesigning the Techtronics curriculum has been to come up with ways to encourage creativity indesign while still ensuring that the students complete projects that they are proud of. Two of thetwo-year pairs of units in Techtronics will be examined below to illustrate this point and examinethe effectiveness of motivating students with technology versus creative design.Motivating students through educational material is ideal, but it is not generally enough for theentire class as described previously.

Exposing students to the importance of ethics via, for example, a lecture on theNSPE Code of Ethics or a reading assignment on plagiarism may accomplish something on itsown, but such relatively low-stakes activities do little to put students in the position ofcontemplating and then making ethics-related decisions – they do little, in other words, to bringthe subject to life for students.One simple way to engage students more fully in the experience of professional ethics is the useof case studies
