Additionally, there is a concern that engineering should better reflect the nationalpopulation. Increasing diversity amongst engineering practitioners is important both from anequity perspective as well as a workforce development perspective (a more diverse populationmeans more diverse perspectives are represented, leading to innovation; also, to attract asufficient workforce we will need to attract women and underrepresented minorities). Researchsuggests that a majority of engineering undergraduates have a parent or another close familymember who is an engineer, and that this is

In particular, the paper presents a case study of a senior level course inethics and leadership development for an Industrial Distribution program at a major university inthe Southwestern US. The course focuses on learning about personal leadership skills within thecontext of an organization. It examines the role and purpose of ethics in business and presentsmethods of moral reasoning in order to resolve ethical dilemmas. The paper describes howteaching based on “case study” approach has improved students understanding of the conceptsand generated interest in the topic.
