Students makeuse of the design process to define and solve real-world engineering problems. Skills developedand used in the class include describing the design process for both product and systemdevelopment, writing design specifications for problems, developing a project plan, applyingconcept generation, applying decision making tools, use of the Quality Function Deploymentprocess, recognizing and discussing ethical issues, and developing an understanding of the roleof professional codes and standards and their impact on product safety, quality, and reliability.The students are required to perform

Maybe that equals a physicist or something like that.’” STEP helped himrealize that his interests did in fact equal engineering.Charles also realized that he needed an improved work ethic - he described himself as “verylazy” and knew it was something that he needed to overcome. During STEP, Charles realizedthat some assignments could take more time than he was willing to commit. He stated, “I coulddo [the work]… I just don’t love wasting that kind of time. Even though it’s not wasting becauseit’s learning and stuff.” While Charles did not perform well academically

), humility (pride), kindness (envy), patience (wrath), and temperance (gluttony).The virtues form a bridge between the individual and the community because they regulate howthe individual should behave toward the others in the community. For example, charity andgreed describe how one should treat resources, either sharing them with others or hoarding themfrom others. Chastity and lust describe intimacy between the individual and others, particularlysexual intimacy, though not limited to this aspect.The virtues thus appear to be a valuable tool to explore the relationship of the entrepreneur asindividual and the entrepreneur at the nexus of a community network.

Very often, topics such as social justice and ethics are thought of astangential to the engineering curriculum, to be covered in other general education classes or notat all. This omission conveys to students the idea that these issues are separate from “realengineering” (or worse, inconsequential), lessening their ability to meet today’s globalchallenges [7].Many engineering educators will argue that it is not our place

Having no policy, at the very least, takes some of the time pressure off and enables me to make sure everything is done well. • Turning labs in late always stresses me out, but during a week full of other exams, it’s nice to know you can turn it in later. • I think policies that reward good work ethic are more effective and fair than policies that punish poor work ethic. Some people aren’t as organized as others or have differing condi- tions, and that should be okay. Of course, if it recurs, it should be addressed nonetheless. For that reason, having no policy is probably the worst, since although no one has
