to similar conclusions [6].Course DiscussionThe instructor for this course had taught Engineering Economy in the more traditional sense toboth undergraduate and graduate engineering students. In each of those cases the majority of thestudents had not taken finance nor accounting; thus, the time value of money calculations andprinciples were the focal point of the courses. In the undergraduate course the FE (EIT) Examprovided a good repository for questions. However, for an MBA class with students who havetaken a core of classes which included accounting and finance, and all students having at leastthree years of work experience (and some with 20+ years), the course needed to take on adifferent structure.The lectures and problem sets covered

The skills and attributes ascribed to the World-Class Engineer very closely alignwith those ascribed to the engineer of 2020, as illustrated by these examples: - The World-Class Engineer is solidly grounded, or able to use his or her knowledge of the discipline to solve problems2. Similarly, the engineer of 2020 has “strong analytical skills” and “practical ingenuity” (p.54), which allows him or her to identify and solve problems1. - The World-Class Engineer is innovative; for the engineer of 2020, creativity (also referred

An interviewee at a public doctoral university with highest research activity [27] whoteaches ethics and entrepreneurship courses to engineering and computing students commentedon this approach. Although she has a non-engineering background, she commented that it isimportant for engineering faculty to include these topics in their classes. I think certainly if engineering faculty are able to talk about ethical dilemmas they faced, that would be the ideal because then it says that, ‘ok this is something that you’re going to face in your career and you need to be prepared to face these kinds of things.’Another interviewee expressed a similar opinion in

The motivation for the program is twofold: First of all, the dramatic drop in the costof sensors, computers and actuators is making possible entirely new classes of products, capableof both automating nontrivial tasks as well as performing functions not possible before.Secondly, robotics has proven to be an excellent means to excite pre-college students aboutscience, technology, and engineering. While much of the technical foundation for the newprogram is drawn from Computer Science, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, we believethat Robotics Engineering is on the path to emerging as an independent discipline with its ownintellectual goals and body of knowledge.

approach isrepresented by brief discussions on ethics and professional responsibility in specific courses. Athird method implies the development of modules or talks on engineering ethics and professionalresponsibility, which typically consist of two or three class sessions9. Finally, ethics teachingcould be adopted as a transversal approach across the engineering curriculum11. Recent research has documented a number of difficulties in integrating ethical traininginto engineering curriculum. Nowadays, one of the limitations is related to time constraints.There is no time available in engineering curriculums to include ethics and other activities fordeveloping a broader set of skills, such as entrepreneurship, and research based learning16
