unethicalbehavior is more and more prevalent in our classes. The rising incidence of plagiarism is andshould be a concern to educators not only to ensure academic integrity but also because of theimplications for our profession. The ethical use of engineering information is important for ourstudents to learn.This article describes the production of a series of videos intended to give engineering students afoundation in the ethical use of engineering information. Topics covered by the videos includecopyright, plagiarism, and citing materials. Camtasia software was used to create short videos inFlash format.

Here in America the populace does not know thedifference between the person who drives a train and a professional engineer (P.E.). Infact they think PE stands for Physical Education (no slight intended to this admirableprofession).This paper will speculate on why this situation is as it is, and provide some suggestionsfor improving the image of engineering and engineers and for the role engineeringeducation could play in improving the image and influence of engineers and engineeringin American Society.We all found humor in the famous line of the well-known comedian (of fond memory

Astrong ability to analyze and apply reduction-oxidation reactions will be essential forenvironmental engineers who will design future systems. Teaching common reduction-oxidationequations using a number line may help students visualize and quantify energy requirementsassociated with carrying out these chemical reactions, and it can prepare students for a futurerequiring new treatment aims and strategies.

Approximately ten years ago, I was tired ofhearing “we can’t do this” from my students, and I figured the primary reason thatthey lacked these skills was simply that no one had ever shown them basicdrawing procedures. Since then, I have attempted to do this and have seendramatic results that followed when sketching is taught just fifteen minutes or soweekly during the course of a semester. Initially, the goal of this effort was simplyto provide students with a skill to help them understand their ideas and presentthem to others
