CE400A was developed three years ago, in response to the programdirector’s judgment that the civil engineering program lacked emphasis on professional practiceissues. The course objectives, formulated to address this deficiency, are as follows: • Explain the characteristics of a profession. • Explain the roles and responsibilities of the members of the CE project team—Owner, Design Professional, Constructor, and Project Manager. • Apply the ASCE Code of Ethics to the solution of an ethical problem in civil engineering. • Demonstrate an understanding of the multi-faceted challenges facing

Bycreating an environment that values and addresses their beliefs, educators contribute significantlyto students' holistic success and fulfillment in their educational journey [25-27].Ethical Considerations: Certain beliefs, especially those entrenched in ethics, morality, andreligion, can be deeply ingrained and highly sensitive for students [28, 29]. Faculty memberswith a nuanced understanding of these beliefs are better equipped to navigate discussions andteachings related to these delicate topics. Recognizing these matters' sensitivity enableseducators to approach them with the utmost care, ensuring a respectful and inclusive

The approach involvesoffering a multidisciplinary class in sustainability engineering which was offered to junior orsenior engineering students as a technical elective class with no prerequisites. The class wasdivided in four main modules which are Life Cycle Assessment, Energy Management, Designfor Sustainability, and Ethical Consumerism.A team teaching approach was used to teach the class with faculty members from thedepartments of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial, Manufacturing and Systems EngineeringDepartment.

They challenge students todevelop innovative and ethical approaches to complex, wide-ranging problems.By deliberately keeping the challenges broad, and asking students to consider each problem frommany perspectives, these projects encourage students to develop a better understanding ofengineering in context and the need for knowledge of other disciplines.

Liaw4 believes thatstrong industry ties add breadth, depth, and continuity to the undergraduate education.Along with the benefits, these partnerships can create ethical concerns. Such concernsinclude the rights of both parties, approaches that are fair to all, and the need to avoidconflict of interest5. To address these concerns, guidelines that direct the actions ofpartners have been promulgated by such bodies as the U.S. Office of Science andTechnology 6.In this paper, we present a partnership and collaboration that has recently been createdbetween University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Lab-Volt
