We take that stance that interest development is the firststep for recruitment of students who otherwise might not consider engineering. Interestdevelopment is needed but insufficient for real change, as students who become interested butare poorly prepared are not likely to persist in engineering [1]. We therefore focus on strategiesthat develop interest and

While this criterion pertains to undergraduate engineering education, thecriteria for Master programs include the "fulfillment of the baccalaureate level generalcriteria"2 (p. 5).Several researchers have examined various methods on how to effectively teach engineeringethics, with an emphasis on what topics should be included and what kind of format should beused. In particular, debate has ensued on whether ethics should be taught as a 'standalonecourse' or if it should be
