. While studies have shown that consistent mentoring is the most effective approach, it isnot always practical in the context of large classes or programs with a large number of students.Finally, there is also a growing need for engineers to have stronger communication skills andprofessional development skills. Mentoring programs can address this need, as mentoringprovides opportunities for mentors and mentees to develop non-technical abilities such astechnical writing and personal communication skills. However, few higher-education coursesintegrate mentoring, of any form, into the class curriculum. As such, students who do not make aconcerted effort to seek out mentoring may never receive its benefits.Project ObjectivesIn the following paper

Because of this, ethics remains, in many cases, confined to external coursesor to senior design.What constitutes an ethical issue in engineering is typically defined loosely, by looking atprofessional codes of ethics and concomitant case studies. This paper presents an alternativeapproach based on an ethical framework developed at James Madison University as a part of anethics across the curriculum effort. The framework was used as a basis for work at an NSF-sponsored workshop on the future of STEM education by a small group of researchers. Duringthe workshop, the group focused on application of the framework to biology. After theworkshop, they re-visioned the outcome to apply to engineering and computer

Furthermore, practical implementationcan be achieved because many mechanical engineering programs are separate departments withsome level of autonomy.Currently, the top two drivers in industry for improving the development processes are shorterproduct-development cycles and increased customer demand for higher performance.
