After extensive study anddebate by the curriculum committee and faculty, a new two-credit Professional Issues course wasadded to the curriculum to address these weaknesses.Course Learning GoalsThe Professional Issues course had eight learning goals. Seven of these mapped directly tooutcomes articulated in the ASCE BOK. The goals presented to the students in the coursesyllabus were: 1. Explain the importance of professional licensure2 and the path to become a licensed PE a. Describe the knowledge, skills, and attributes required to become a PE, based on the ASCE BOK b. Prepare to pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam (review topics, develop test taking strategy) 2

Each observer was assigned primary responsibility for onlya single dimension of the EPSA Rubric.Based upon student comments compared to previous year’s course evaluations, the instructorshave found that the interdisciplinary EPSA scenarios generated more enthusiastic and higherlevel discussion than case studies that focused solely on ethics. An example of theinterdisciplinary nature of the EPSA scenarios is demonstrated in the EPSA “Clean Energy”scenario, shown in Appendix B, which was selected because

. Our focus throughout the case is on two core issues of (a) 3allocation of risk and (b) stakeholder impact. This is exemplified through the videos we havedeveloped, selected readings, discussion prompts, quick checks, and the group case reportprompt. Naturally, many case-specific facts and issues that we do not explicitly prompt arisethrough in-class discussion, the group case reports, and the asynchronous on-line posting whichis driven by student interest.One of the strengths of the pedagogical strategy we utilized is that students must work togetherto justify their responses based off each student’s knowledge and interests, collectively
