exposure and emphasis on ethical dimensions. Consequently,students may possess limited awareness and comprehension of ethical matters.Few approaches exist for integrating engineering ethics into the curriculum. These range fromstandalone courses specifically dedicated to ethics, integration within philosophy coursework, toopen discussions within capstone design classes, and modules infused into technical courses.Each approach carries its unique set of benefits and drawbacks. Regarding content, researchinginto engineering ethics entails an examination of ethical case studies. However, grasping thetheoretical foundations of ethics is crucial for comprehending diverse ethical perspectives.In the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at

of what itmeans to be an engineer. Engineering curricula at many U.S. universities place a heavyemphasis on the introduction of a “fundamental body of knowledge” during the firstyears of study. This has not changed in decades. Unfortunately, by the time students areready to graduate, many are not yet ready to actually practice engineering. In the past,the assumption was that the analytical skills practiced in solving well-defined physics andmath problems would provide a basis for application at their place of employment wherethey are charged with solving open-ended and often ill-defined problems.Organizations today that employ engineers are faced with complex business issues thatrequire quick response from technical professionals who

The advice providesfocus and helps to fine-tune the curriculum. Oftentimes, industry asks academia for more than ithas the resources to deliver. Contrary to this apparent increased “demand” for more education isthe trend by university administrators to downsize the 4-yr degree to about 128 semester credithours, thereby decreasing the available time to “supply” the education desired.Four major issues arise in the development of the design stem.

andthe time limitations of the semester, selected areas of the plans were bid and scheduled. Biddingrequired each team to create a bid book that documented all assumptions and presented the costsas per required in the contract. The bid was awarded and the teams then prepared a resourceloaded construction schedule. Scenarios were created for litigation and the teams outlined howthey would defend against the litigation. Guest speakers came to class sessions to discussbusiness plans, business research, construction project management, and QC/QA control.Students were graded as teams and were judged on the separate four phases.IntroductionThe Construction Management Technology (CMT) Program at the University of Maine offersstudents a combination of
pairs, as one element of the paircontracts the other extends to create the appropriate smooth control of motion around a joint.The tendons are the whitish tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone and the muscle willusually wrap itself over the joint. As the muscle contracts, force is exerted on the joint forcing itto move or rotate. These same principles of biomechanics were applied in this design project.An anchoring point, joint design, and biasing spring were some of the necessary elements tocreate a potentially useful robotic part (Figure 3). The final project idea was a three-fingered robotic hand. Many researchers are intriguedby the far-ranging potential of robotic applications. What makes this example so interesting isthat no

into the schoolenvironment more effectively so that future engineering and science students can acquire interestand skills necessary for their future academic and professional pursuits. Studies have pointed outthe inadequacy of typical methods utilized in delivering instruction related to science andtechnology. The use of hands-on practices has been shown to be an effective tool in deliveringinstructional materials. These types of activities can aid the students in remembering verbalinformation and concrete concepts.[1]We have acquired a mobile mini-CIM cell to be used in our outreach efforts.

page and a table of contentsslide (for organizational purposes), with the remaining slides relatively content heavy. Whileprioritizing accessibility through readable formatting (able to be read by software for those whoare visually impaired), minimal emphasis was placed on a particular presentation style. Thisstraightforward format intentionally allows instructors flexibility to tailor the material to theirpreferences. Instructors are afforded the latitude to infuse their distinctive approach,incorporating personal touches, stylistic elements, anecdotes, pertinent visuals, or discipline-specific case studies as deemed appropriate. The intent was to empower instructors with amalleable framework that accommodates diverse teaching styles and
collect and evaluate directevidence of student learning via assignments such as the team final reports and individual ethicsassignments. This will provide more details on the extent to which different implementationstrategies were effective. This research could also continue as individual instructors customizethe sustainability materials to their own teaching styles.AcknowledgementThe authors gratefully acknowledge our EOP Mini grant from the Lemelson Foundation andASEE.
