Regardless of company size, students learn to handleresponsibility quickly and to work in a professional setting. Students leave internships asmore mature professionals and with added technical knowledge. The participation of faculty plays an important role in the success of students.Faculty integrates professionalism and ethics in a highly technical and challengingcurriculum.

It is an important time in which to make clear the necessities ofstudying, time management, networking, and coping with the normally difficult engineeringfreshman's course load.It is also a critical time to introduce students, sometimes in a very rudimentary way, to importantaspects of engineering. One of these aspects is the hands-on nature of engineering and theimportance of experiencing not only the vitally important computer world but also the world ofphysical contact. With that in mind the ROSES students investigate design and hands-onactivities in and out of the classroom. Page 6.11.1 Proceedings of the 2001 American Society

Among the most important are:• Weekly faculty team meetings which enable integration of the courses. This has resulted in significant enhancements to the engineering course in the coverage of accounting principles (tied with chemistry and physics); curve fitting (tied with math); ethics (tied with English); and static's (tied with physics).• Teacher training in teamwork, use of technology and in teaching in a collaborative - active learning environment.• Interaction groups which allow the students to discuss their concerns with the class[es] and

One topic discussed was the ethics of academia. Of particularinterest in this discussion was plagiarism and cheating and how to prevent it. It is easy as astudent to “borrow” someone’s homework and copy it to get over a “hump.” However, inacademia, as most places, this type of behavior is unacceptable and students’ must be encouragedto do their own work.

The essence of the assessment notion for engineering education is captured in the ABETparadigm called Engineering Criteria 2000 used by the Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC). Included in the criteria are eleven "attributes of an engineer", whichsimply stated are: knowledge, experimentation, design, teamwork, problem-solving,professional ethics, professional practice, broad education, communication, lifelonglearning and "other" attributes. Similar attributes apply to the engineering technologist andhave been proposed as criteria for accreditation by TAC of ABET. A striking parallel isseen when comparing these criteria to the long
