Each of these courses and the entireprogram were documented and then presented to the School and Institute’s Graduate CurriculumCommittees for review and approval.The first pilot of the program is seen as a “beta” release in which feedback from the students onstrengths and areas of improvement was solicited in class discussion at the end of each day ofinstruction. In addition, there were formal written evaluations at the end of each course.Instructors were encouraged to sit through all of the course classes in the pilot courses, but wererequired to attend the prior course reviews to ensure continuity between the courses andinstruction.The program and its course will be updated and improved based on this pilot feedback for a full-program

and in addition to normal teaching and research loads. For students, the time cost has alsobeen an issue. Many of the students have found it difficult to give up an entire day and a half toan extra curricular activity such as the boot camp. They have had to reschedule classes, make upmissed classes, miss work, and so forth. Although both faculty and students have been willing tomake this time sacrifice, it has been a definite cost, and we are currently investigating optionswhere the cost might be reduced (i.e., develop a block or semester course focused oninnovation).The cost related to changing culture has to do mostly with developing college-wide buy-inamong faculty. The plausibility of a college-wide buy in and adoption is difficult, due

Each courseprovides students 6 hrs. of in-class meeting time per week with the expectation of approximately 6 hoursper week out-of-class work time resulting in the university recommended 180 hr. minimum (45 hours percredit) of learning.

There were 17 other students who described being coerced intoparticipating in unethical acts by colleagues and/or supervisors. Finally, 17 students described adilemma they self-identified and in which they exercised personal agency “related to intellectualproperty, company time and resource wastage, and tensions between the personal andprofessional.” These ethical dilemmas are perhaps typical for entry-level engineers, and thereforeare worthy of in-class discussion.There is little data in the literature that provides evidence of the fit between engineering practiceand the educational training that students received on engineering ethics, although some
