Engineering Ethics

Code of Ethics and discussion ofcase studies [3]. However, ethics in the engineering curriculum has been reported to have mixedeffectiveness, especially when delivered as an isolated topic within courses such as a capstone orpurely through case studies. Instead, an effective supplemental framework for integrating ethicsthrough the curriculum is needed in order for practicing engineers to make decisions with theintegrity appropriate to the profession. Toward this goal, an initial implementation was made in asenior level design class where ethics questions were interspersed throughout the semester onday to day ethical issues that related directly to the course material. Twelve students took thiscourse alone, while twenty-two were concurrently

suitable approach to address these difficulties is to restart ABET EC2000process by course level activities in order to involve each staff member and each student in theprocess as early as possible. Once the staff members found themselves involved through courselevel activities, they became willing to participate in the required program level tasks. Theprocess succeeded in anticipating the expected resistance by starting from what the instructorsare actually doing to create a continuous improvement cycle and initiate the paradigm shift.In the present work, the process is outlined and the results of its implementation in addressing Page

In effect, a goodgrasp of the concepts of science inherent to a particular engineering discipline provides a reliableand firm scaffold to engineering students for the practice of their profession. Quite often,however, the teaching of undergraduate physics in engineering programs emphasizes manipulationof formulas and numerical computation instead of deep understanding of inherent concepts. This“cookbook” approach seriously affects the strength of the scientific foundation that physicscourses need to provide to engineering students. The use of computer software in the classroomhelps to minimize this problem substantially. In effect, much of the tedious manipulative

The workshops were precipitated by a general feelingamong educators that students lacked interest in power and that the material covered in thecurriculum needed to be broadened in order to address more recent issues. NSF and the ElectricPower Research Institute (EPRI) have created a special initiative in the area of powerengineering education. The initiative seeks to produce a more favorable curriculum in powerengineering with emphasis on multimedia courseware development, use of visualization softwareand the interweaving of power and energy topics throughout the curriculum.

Also, this display would be required to run 12 hours a day for amonth, so the selected servo had to be tough enough to handle the intense usage.
