Engineering Ethics

technical content can better prepare engineers for the challenges oftheir careers.Because students will enter a profession where they will need to recognize ethical dilemmas andthen make decisions about personal and professional responsibility within that situation, it isvaluable to use active learning approaches that let them model the process. Active learning hasbeen shown to be valuable in many engineering contexts.4 Some possible pedagogicalapproaches faculty can use when working with ethical discussions are small group discussionswith reporting, role playing,5 academic controversy (a form of debate where participants switchsides about 2/3 through the session),6 other social instruction strategies like collaborativelearning,7 and legitimization

By combining these skills with the technical challenge of the InnovationProject and Robot design, participants in FLL have a significant advantage in Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics education. The competition aspect of FLL associatesSTEM fields with excitement in the minds of the students involved. From observation, there is alarge increase of interest in STEM fields between beginning and end of the FLL program.Students gain skills that are widely applicable to the global workplace and shape them into morequality international citizens.

Questions of interest are:1. Where and how do the students find the required technical knowledge?2. How do we ensure correctness of use of the knowledge?3. How do students communicate within and across task teams?4. How are project timelines met, with a diverse team of students? Page 23.1037.3

majors and these include: 1. “cramsorption learning”, where students listen to professors lecturing and then regurgitate the formulas to solve problems in a test, 2. concepts that are not learned through experience but by sitting in a lecture hall, 3. lower grades because of hard courses and hence not qualifying to enter the engineering major, 4. entry level salaries in engineering being lower than other majors such as business, and 5. coursework has a higher difficultly level compared to other majors.So, coupled with the above reasons for dropping out or switching majors and having a small poolof potential students to begin with, it is imperative that state universities increase their retentionrate for greater use

Following goals are laid out at the beginning of the project. All students thatstart the project are made familiar with these high level goals and objectives of the project. Thereare a number of features that the team wishes the APSS to have.First, the system must be capable of fully autonomous flight. The goal is develop a system wherean SPSU police officer is able to point to a location on a digital SPSU-campus map on a portableelectronic device e.g. laptop or Ipad, and have the rotorcraft based vehicle travel to that physicallocation
