shouldbe the most important or the highest priority. While it seems true that the health, safety, andwelfare of the public should be high priorities for engineers, there are certain situations where itmay not be possible to hold both safety and welfare paramount at the same time. As it is worded,the code of ethics provides no guidance as to which should be given final priority in such cases.The concepts of health, safety, and welfare have been central to engineering ethics since 1935when a Society Code of Ethics was first suggested for consideration in the May issue of TheAmerican Engineer [14]. The suggested language, in this document, included health, safety, andwelfare as the second of a series of engineering ethical principles, stating, “B. (1

As such, architectural engineering programs have an obligation toteach the skill set of load determination, application, and analysis within their curriculum.Fortunately, most jurisdictions in the United States have adopted the International BuildingCode [1] and thus ASCE 7 (American Society of Civil Engineering, Minimum Design Loads forBuildings and Other Structures [2]). Based on this adoption, the ASCE 7 code is the naturalchoice to use for the determination of loadings within a course that focuses on the topic ofstructural loadings. However, teaching code procedures alone are not sufficient to gain anunderstanding of how structures behave due to

The faculty members who developed the course identified the need to ensure that everystudent enrolled in the course has a 3D printer in their possession for the duration of the course tomaximize the hands-on applications of the course. Students are given two options forcompleting the laboratory course depending on their discretionary funds. Option 1 is to purchasea commercially available inexpensive kit, which they build and use for the course and then keepafter the completion of the course. Option 2 is to borrow a printer from the department, whichthey will need to repair or upgrade, use for the duration of the course, and then return to

At the inception of the modern biomaterials field in the 1940’s, this mostly includedbioinert medical devices and prostheses for cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications [2].Since this time, biomaterials have evolved with the field of tissue engineering, which aims todevelop functional substitutes for damaged tissues [3]. Today, scientists, engineers, andclinicians collaborate to develop a wide range of novel biomaterials that can diagnose and treatnumerous diseases in previously unimaginable ways [4

The development andimplementation of such technology-based learning modules offer new opportunities to teachstudents the complex concepts of Civil Engineering through visual means. The efficacy of thelearning modules were evaluated through student assessment surveys for: (1) the appropriatenessof the module in aiding the introduction of course content, (2) the effectiveness of the module inenhancing student understanding of course content, and (3) the overall perception of students ofthe module.

The development of leadership is especially important for students whowish to pursue management careers including project management (PM) which is a highlyneeded and promising career path. Few undergraduate students are exposed to PM during theirundergraduate curriculum, and most PM courses are based on literature and reading. TheNational Research Council Board on Engineering education noted that undergraduate curriculumneeds to be reformed in order for undergraduates to get extensive exposure to interdisciplinary,hands-on skills, creative design, and systems thinking[2].

This results in undergraduateengineers using information to craft their resumes that may not support the use of discipline-specific language. Resumes generated with this broad approach may not address employer needsand could therefore be perceived as “less attractive” by the employer, resulting in dismissal fromthe applicant pool and rejection from the opportunity.In this paper we focus on the

Because lecture content is moved outside of the classroom, in-class time is typically devoted to problem solving sessions and more active learning approaches.It has been shown in the literature that the primary benefits of this method come not from anincrease in effectiveness of out-of-class lectures, but from the increase in time devoted to hands-on practice, active learning [3], and instructor-guided practice [4].
