Grit is also a topic covered in the course with reference tothe retention of the students in the college of engineering, through to their completion of theengineering degree.Material pertaining to grit was introduced in the course and then an examination of how thismaterial may have increased student grit was conducted. Duckworth et al. (2007) [1] created atwo-factor, twelve item, self-reporting measure of grit. The foundation of this study was basedon the theory of grit as a compound trait. This compound trait was comprised of stamina in twodimensions, and these dimensions

Mentors/trainers on the job site mustremember that the students are under their tutelage for specific learning outcomes.Industrial Partner’s Perspective of the Advanced Manufacturing Technician Program:The establishment of the newly formed GeauxFame chapter ensures common practicesamongst all sponsoring manufacturers. A primary emphasis is on the technician developingprofessional and solid work ethic behaviors. The AMT program has redefined the customerrelationship of education thus making the employer the customer.

Systems and Technology (IS&T) majors are required to select either a softwaredevelopment emphasis consisting of three specialty courses (9 units) or the information securityand networks emphasis comprising four specialty courses (12 units). Required courses for theinformation security emphasis include: data communications, LANs, computer crime, andcomputer forensics. The required coursework for the information security emphasis focuses ontechnical skills, emphasizes security issues, and introduces the ethical and legal concerns ofmanaging security. The computer forensics course is the capstone course for the Weber StateUniversity IS&T majors. This course includes desktop and network investigations and securityimplementation. At Brigham

In the current draft document, achievement of learn-ing outcome levels in the post-baccalaureate but pre-licensure phase of a civil engineer’s profes-sional life is called for in outcomes related to contemporary issues, risk/uncertainty, sustainabil-ity, project management, communication, ethics, public policy, business and public administra-tion, teamwork, leadership, lifelong learning, and attitudes. The current thinking is that state li-censing boards will validate the learning that occurs during the pre-licensure
. In fact the engineering profession is constantly making a series of decisions. Theprocess of decision making is far more complex than the process of problem solving.Complicating factors such as culture, ethnicity, globalization, and ethics should play a prominentrole. Design, the cross-fertilization of science and art, is a basic function of all species thatoccupy a masterfully orchestrated and designed ecosystem in which man is but one. On the otherhand, culture with its complex mix is the expression of what a group of people creates - arts,beliefs customs, institutions, products and thought - at a particular time within the context of thenatural environment. Design and culture therefore are intimately linked and undoubtedlyinfluence each

significant ethical issues because the engineer is making critical decisions based onlimited or biased information, which could lead to negative impacts and conflict. As educators,our goal is not only to train competent and creative engineers, but also to prepare citizens withtechnical training who can systematically assess the impacts of technology on local and globalpopulations, cultures and environments and appropriately implement optimal engineeringsolutions which address these considerations. Service learning activities provide a window ofopportunity for students to engage in civic duty while applying relevant engineering concepts.The College of Engineering considers service learning to be an important vehicle in theinternationalization of
students having access when they wereonly available in hardcopy form to a vast majority of students having access because theyare now available in electronic form.The change in the availability of textbook solution manuals raises several interesting questions.First, do we need to consider if there are any new ethical issues? For example, does using atextbook solution manual when completing a graded homework assignment constitute cheating?The previous study found that most students do not consider this to be cheating except in theextreme case of plagiarism where the solution is copied completely.1 If instructors disagree withthis opinion, now that so many more students have access to the solution manual they need tovery clearly communicate this to

Itwas first used to review wikis in Summer 2007, and has been used in courses in parallelcomputer architecture, object-oriented programming, and ethics in computing, among others.The software spiders the wiki to find all the contributions by an individual user, and then createsa page of links to each user’s material. This material is then assigned to specific other studentsto review.The toxicology students were reviewed by an outside team of experts
