While it may be true that some engineers could use some refinement in the area ofpeople skills, much of what is represented in the media about engineers’ ability to relate topeople is extremely exaggerated and can be detrimental to potential engineers entering the field.Importance of this Work The media articles selected for this study build a picture of engineers that lacks diversityin regards to race and sex/gender, as will be discussed in a later portion of this paper.

Theinstrument presented in this paper, like the FE exam, attempts to measure “parts” rather than thewhole. However, we believe its value is in simply answering the question of whether the “parts”exist, with the assumption that their existence is a necessary if insufficient condition; we alsobelieve it provides the educator with an opportunity for a deeper reflection on the engineeringcurriculum as a whole.

Alimited number of studies have been published that compare two methods of curriculumintegration, yet no rigorous studies that compare multiple methods of curriculum incorporationare known to exist. Without clear evidence of best methods, the debate will continue, and therewill be no assurance that the methods currently in use are the most effective.Within this paper, a recently completed research program is described that evaluated the methodsof assimilating ethics into the engineering curriculum to determine if a relationship existsbetween the curriculum models and the
