Theunderlying principle for this redesign is to provide more flexibility for students to take major andfree elective courses and lessen the emphasis on traditional mathematics requirements (such asCalculus II).Currently, the major area in curriculum of computer science at FVSU includes 60 credit hours ofwhich 9 hours are major electives and 6 hours free electives.

Biesta notes that forDewey, knowledge is not prescriptive, and research would not dictate practice: “no conclusion ofscientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art” (19).29 Reflexivity(a practice of reflection that is critical of its own power relations) requires integrating knowledgewith reflection and

In this course students examine what it is to be an ethicalengineer through a series of readings about ethical engineers, personal interviews with engineers,and their personal reflection about their own character and values. From these experiences,students begin to encounter the “essence” of an ethical engineer.
