engineering laboratory course has evolved over several years to focus on serviceand ethics in the engineering profession. In 2016 a new laboratory module was designed for thecourse to encourage students to wrestle with ethical questions in the context of engineeringtechnical work. The module was developed as part of a larger pedagogical effort using backwarddesign across the full curriculum. The ethics implementation is also part of a curriculum-wideeffort to expose students to the broad facets of engineering ethics through courses.The new laboratory module was implemented as a low cost addition to the laboratory course.Students reported the new lung module significantly enhanced understanding of an engineeringcharge for ethical behaviors.

The competition pushed the students toconsider sustainable design, be innovative, professional and use the knowledge that they hadgained throughout their years as an engineering student. Gaining a better understanding ofengineering was important to the students as one of the students said, “I can finally put theknowledge that I’ve learned to use by applying it to the project and I can see how a group of Page 25.1380.8people would work together in the real world.” The competition allowed the

Unfortunately, the traditional model of lecture/tutorial/lab fordiscrete subjects emphasizes reliance on the instructor for the delivery of facts and well-established principles rather than teaching students what engineers really do – design, revise andtest solutions while analyzing and synthesizing the best available data and theories.

During the sophomore and junior years, thecurriculum develops specific skills (such as setting design goals and objectives, using analysisand testing in open-ended problems) as well as helping students understand the design process asa whole. In the final year, students are involved with a year-long culminating design project oftheir choosing. This incorporates all that they have learned about engineering design.This paper discusses the seven focus classes identified in Table 1. We will briefly explain thecontext of each
