We provide an in-depth analysis of successes and shortcomings for projects in thesegenres, completed as part of a first-year engineering design curriculum.We developed a multifaceted engineering design course, whose goals are to introduce students tobasic engineering design principles and professional skill methodologies, such as clientinteraction, teamwork, and presentation skills. Projects with community partners fulfill the needfor real client interaction and robust design problems. Students gain hands-on experience fromdirectly applying concepts taught in the course, while community partners benefit from theprojects’ research and proposed solution.Over 1000 first-year

Engineering Ethics

-National STEM ResearchersI. IntroductionThe "Four Component Model" of moral behavior developed by Rest,1, 2, 3 and applied toprofessional ethics by Bebeau4 and others argues that ethical behavior is a consequence of fourfactors: (1) ethical sensitivity, (2) ethical judgment, (3) ethical motivation and commitment, and(4) ethical character and competence. The majority of theoretical and pedagogical research inthe field of Ethics Education in Science and Engineering (EESE) has centered on ethicaljudgment.5 Significantly, relatively little work has been done on ethical sensitivity in EESE eventhough ethical sensitivity provides an individual with the range of concrete considerations uponwhich that person makes ethical judgments.

Since the targeted students were not computer scientists, the coursewas re-designed to focus on computer programming examples used in mechanical engineering.Scaffolding was used to integrate syntax elements with each other, algorithms with each other,and, the algorithm to the syntax. The effort was assessed using student attitudinal data. Theeffort confirmed the utility of CLT in course design, and it demonstrated that hybrid/distancelearning is not merely a tool of convenience, but one, which, used purposefully, inspires studentsto learn.Introduction Cognitive
