”). Professional codes of ethics and ABET requirements are sometimes applied, withsustainability introduced as a design constraint.3 In our experience, these professionalrequirements are often treated only in senior design projects, and then only as items on achecklist. Optional minor and certificate programs may exist for those engineering students whoare interested, but even here crucial tensions often go unexplored between definitions ofsustainability (between weak and strong sustainability4, 5, between “technological sustainability”and “ecological sustainability”6, between “eco-efficiency” and “eco-effectiveness”7, or betweensustainability and sustainable development8, 9, 10, 11) and even between areas of the triple bottomline.3 Missing, too, are

, the availabilityof Internet resources has contributed to the growth of plagiarism among learners. Learners mayplagiarize because it is the norm, or because they do not know they are plagiarizing, or they donot have the time to read and cite sources. Some researchers have stated that the main form ofcheating [among college students] is plagiarism and that as faculty our role is to educate them onthe ethics of cheating”. Campbell (2001) stated “Teachers’ own philosophical orientations,conscious or not, to moral and ethical issues will ultimately determine how they interpret theirprofessional obligations and their role as moral agents”.

contrast with undergraduate courses, research methodscourses for graduate students are becoming more common.[9-11] Compared to the socialsciences courses, the graduate engineering courses include such content as deliveringpresentations, scientific methods, research ethics, proposal writing, literature searchers, andreading the literature. Since these topics match up well with the research requirements ofundergraduate students, many similar topics would also complement an undergraduate researchcourse in engineering and hard sciences. In the current apprenticeship model of undergraduateresearch, the student simply goes to work in the laboratory. The strength of this model is thetraditional reliance on one-on-one mentoring between the faculty and
