products and processes to enhancesafety, improve health and welfare of the public in performance of their professional duties.We are making these changes to stay on the cutting edge of technologies and markets that areof crucial importance to our stakeholders – engineers, students and industries that supportengineering applications. Challenges to ethically drive innovations to produce connectivitybetween people, systems and their performance in most circumstances have started affectingengineering education. This paper will map future ethical challenges affecting engineeringeducation. The knowledge base, economy and globalization continue to challenge the basicindustrial and hi-tech era assumptions upon which most public schools, curricula
advances in electronic technology persist, this continues to translate to moreelectronic automation being incorporated into everyday life. The underlying purpose of this corecourse is to instruct all students, regardless of the major course of study in some of the basics ofelectronic circuits, machinery, instrumentation and communication systems. This result is achieved,along with perhaps the more profound effect of conveying to the student analytical problem solvingskills. This paper discusses how the foundation established in the first semester course is employedto cover the broad range of topics presented in the second semester. Students leave the secondsemester course, with its introduction to a wide variety of electrical engineering

already credit hour heavy and engineering colleges throughout the U.S. arecutting back degree credit hour requirements to meet state legislative restrictions. How,then, can an initiative such as sustainable/green engineering be successful?A significant part of the answer arises out of the new Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET) 2000 Criterion 3 “Program Outcomes and Assessment”.Criterion 3 states, “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have” theability/skills to meet criteria “a” through “k”. Programs that incorporate sustainable/greenengineering principles into the curriculum can have a direct and positive impact on three ofthese criteria. The sustainable/green engineering criteria are “h”, “i” and “j
