Consistent with much K-12 engineering education outreach literatureis the call for outreach programs that: 1) Utilize a team approach of faulty, college mentors and professional engineers to deliver engineering educational information to students. 2) Assist K-12 educators in building their proficiency in STEM subjects. 3) Develop curriculum materials and instructional strategies. 4) Build partnerships between schools of engineering, facilities of education and science, teacher populations and other stakeholders (including parents). 5) Engage family support with assisting students on determining their future education and career. 6) Evaluate efforts of both the implementation and

Various approaches were tried with some success; however,engineering ethics overall has limited exposure in programs and is pushed to the periphery ofengineering education. In 2016, The National Academy of Engineering conducted a call forsubmissions to support an effort to select exemplars of engineering ethics education. This effortyielded 44 submissions from universities throughout the US. Review of the content revealed thatthe submissions ranged from short activities used in engineering courses to multiyear courses ofstudy with the preponderance of work structured in a case study type activity [6].

Methods ofapplying LMS vary among institutions. According to students, what content makes a successful learningenvironment in an LMS? What can universities do to better impact students in these systems? And whattypes of tools do students really desire? Using these questions to direct student focus group sessions atthe School of Engineering and Technology (E & T) at Indiana University-Purdue UniversityIndianapolis (IUPUI), researchers examined critical elements students identified as necessary to embracea learning management system

Mutual recognition agreements to move toward acceptance of educational equivalency are a must to allow appropriate mobility for practicing engineers. Problems with the funding of higher education, the rise of private educational institutions, and the increasing mobility of students are trends that threaten the dominance of traditional higher education institutions. Those traditional universities must adapt and change if they are to be competitive in the future. Attraction of appropriate quality and quantity of engineering students remains a problem.
