Texas A&M University In August of 1995 thirty-five faculty from around the nation, supported by the National ScienceFoundation, joined eight undergraduate fellows, supported by the Harry E. Bovay, Jr. Ethics Endowment, for aone-week workshop on the campus of Texas A&M University to achieve an innovative goal. That goal was todevelop engineering ethics resource material that could be easily introduced at all levels of the engineeringcurriculum and in all engineering disciplines. To accomplish this task, it was decided that the development of anew set of engineering ethics cases which would include numerical problems would be the best course ofaction. The numerical and ethical problems based on these new cases could then find a

To date, no clear methods for measuring and assessing student attainmentin these standards has been instituted. It is the interaction of instruction in technology educationand its influence on student learning that is the central problem addressed by this research.

Bandura [3], [4] proposesfour modes to increase self-efficacy, one of which is physiological and affective states.Research suggests that all four pathways are correlated with academic outcomes amongundergraduate engineering students [1], yet there are no known interventions that specificallyattempt to increase engineering students’ self-efficacy through somatic education, includingtraining students to be more aware of physiological and affective states.Purpose
