in response to the call for expanded professional skill sets. LED(now LEES) produced, for instance, a number of “spin-off” constituent committees anddivisions, most notably the Ethics Division. Not limited to those in the humanities and socialsciences, and indicative of the import that ASEE members now place on the associated learningoutcome, the Ethics Division is now one of the largest divisions in our society. The traditionaldisciplinary divisions have also responded to this shift. The call to integrate professional skillsinto the core technical courses within engineering has brought innumerable changes in curriculaas well as associated educational research, which are reflected in the papers presented at ourannual conference.Once the EAC

The teacher usually also tries to instill a good work ethic as thestudent learns. For the mathematics and sciences courses this often involves assigning problemsets for the student to apply and practice the tools, techniques, and concepts presented in classand in the reading assignments. At regular intervals the student is tested on her or his ability toidentify and categorize problems, select the appropriate tools to solve the problem, and apply theappropriate problem solving steps to actually solve the problem.

Introduction Demand for undergraduate Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) education continues to grow,driven by persistent need for professionals with technical skills. In addition to core technical knowledge,students embarking on a career in CSE must be ready to combine theory and practice in a context wherethe underlying technology continually changes, projects are large-scale and collaborative, and professionalresponsibility and ethics-based decision-making are critical when products are adopted widely. Manystudents seek hands-on industry internship experiences to complement their in-class instruction andprepare for these

A variety of logistical issues made this unworkable, in most circumstances.The program has recently been revised to require students to take a sequence of three courses atNDSU along with a fourth elective course of their choice. The three required courses are: • CSCI 603 – Defensive Network Security • CSCI 604 – Ethical Hacking • CSCI 610 – Computer Crime and ForensicsFor electives, students can select from: • CSCI 609 – Cybersecurity Law and Policy • CSCI 669 – Network Security • CSCI 773 – Foundations of the Digital Enterprise • CSCI 774 – Topics of the Digital Enterprise • CSCI 783 – Topics in Software Systems (with a cybersecurity focus)Students can
performance of an engineered artefact. Morerecently virtual laboratories based on computer simulation and remote labs where physical orvirtual equipment is accessed at a distance using the internet have become accepted under theumbrella of “laboratory”. The proposed new ABET Criteria 3 (Student Outcomes) has broadenedsomewhat in respect of experimentation, thereby presenting an opportunity for discussion aroundlaboratory contexts.This paper argues we should adopt a more expansive understanding of what counts as a“laboratory”; one that recognizes the reality that practicing engineers must be adept at creatingand conducting investigations that take into account not only technical factors but also the socio-cultural, economic and even ethical aspects
toavoid any potential ethical conflicts. Beyond ethical conflicts, this is also important as there arefaculty both within the college of engineering (CoE) and the FYE group itself with groupinterview experience and one with significant experience with engineering education. Facultybeing interviewed may not have been as forthright knowing data gathering was being performedby their peers. Furthermore, members of the FYE program abstained from surveys responses andfocus groups. A series of four questions was asked in survey form of all faculty: 1. What is your understanding of the rational motivating this curriculum change? 2. From your perspective, what are the potential benefits of the FYE program? 3. What concerns do you have
students have been involved in theproject. Data Collection, Sources, and ManagementInitial and Ethical Considerations The process for collecting and using data in P-12 school settings is significantly differentthan other fields, such as social networks or e-commerce (Carmel, 2016). Those who have accessto the data need to have clear boundaries and parameters on what to access and whichinformation can be made available in which levels of the data (Carmel, 2016). Therefore, ethicalconsideration is vital when conducting research. In this context, ethics are the norms of conductthat must be followed when conducting research as they aid in distinguishing between acceptableand unacceptable behaviors (Resnik, 2011). The
of their classroom will be conducted and filmed on aday where epistemic issues will be discussed. This researcher will prepare clips of moments inthe lesson pertinent to epistemic belief, such as discussions of assumptions or ethical dilemmas(often associated with safety and process decisions). A second interview will then be conductedwith this faculty member to discuss what thoughts and motivations were associated with thesemoments. Interviews will also be conducted with three students from each classroom in order tosee how these lessons were interpreted by the students.For the first interview, the protocol will largely follow the process described by Montfort et al.(2014), featuring semi-structured questions centered around Hofer’s (1997
about the value of the ECE profession, theirinterest in the class, and their intensions to persist. The surveys also measured personalendorsements including the importance of ethical considerations in engineering decisions,the value of professional skills compared to technical training, and empathy. Data analysisrevealed that among novice students, the more they believed that the ECE professionafforded opportunities to benefit society and work with others (i.e., had prosocial value), themore interested they were in the class and in turn, the more they intended to persist in theirECE degree program. This persistence intentions relationship was not true for studentbeliefs about the ECE profession affording opportunities to gain wealth, power, and

Sciences in the groundbreaking 2004 report entitled The Engineer of 2020: Visions of Engineering in the New Century, successful engineers in the 21st century should exhibit key attributes to ensure their success and the success of the engineering profession. The list of key attributes are: strong analytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, business and management, leadership, high ethical standards, professionalism; dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility, and the ability to become lifelong learners [1]. The project described in this paper is motivated by the results and findings of these reports. Our project exposes a pool of STEM undergraduate students to research

Multiplestudies attest to the benefits of cooperative education.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7] In the engineering programs atGrand Valley State University, before beginning the capstone sequence of courses, students havecompleted three full semesters of cooperative education experience. During the semesters thestudents are on co-op, in addition to formal work activities, students are required to completeseveral learning modules. These modules cover topics including: professionalism in theworkplace; engineering ethics; engineering economics; and project management andcommunications - including corporate documents (reports and memos

project on the environment, the economy,society and human well-being in both the short term and long term. To achieve the objective, theSSE program should provide students with a fundamental knowledge of civil, electrical,mechanical, environmental engineering and social science, such as economics and politicalscience. The leadership of engineers requires students to establish the competence ofresponsibility, integrity, ethics, proactivity and communication skills.Systems engineering is a shifted paradigm from traditional engineering approaches.
