The facultylectures covered three main areas: structural analysis techniques, project management and designfor manufacturability.Another aspect of the course involved bringing in outside speakers to give seminars. Several ofthe speakers were practicing engineers from industry. Topics covered by the guests includedProject Management, design for manufacturability, and a Intellectual property.” The challengein presenting some of the research talks was keeping them at a level that undergraduate studentscan comprehend. One seminar was a joint effort with the local ASME section and hosted by adistinguished ASME speaker. If possible

written, distributable articulation of suchpriorities is also felt to be required. But if we are interested in the social relations associatedwith engineering codes of ethics, we must ask: Why precisely is such an articulation felt to benecessary? After all, many features of many professional operations never find such formalexpression; although Codes of Ethics for History professors exist, they are rarely invoked inpractice or passed along for graduate students, for example. Moreover, although developing acode of ethics is commonly viewed as having been an essential part of engineering’sprofessionalization in the United States,1 the question of how codes of ethics actually shape dailyengineering practice is a, huge realm for study.
