Traditionalinstruction is used sparingly to present specific tools and concepts. Quantitative assessment data from the firstoffering are encouraging because a significant improvement in the students’ ability to frame and resolve ill-defined problems (a priority outcome) has been measured.

Thus, setting up the summer as an idealpreparation time for students where discipline-specific content can now be delivered. In thisprogram, the first year class can continue to serve students using best practices for common firstyear experience courses, but students who are either not confident or lack competence indiscipline-specific skills have a chance to address this before being academically responsible.

Would your answer change if you found out (hypothetically) that the TITANIC’s owners pressured the British Board of Trade’s decision not to increase the number of lifeboats? 3. How do you think that the belief that the TITANIC was unsinkable (i.e., the engineers had designed the ship as safe as the technology allowed) impact this ethical responsibility? 4. How would you convince your boss of the need to exceed the legal requirements for a design – especially if there were substantial costs associated with the redesign? 5.

The vast majority of the early and presentday contributions in the area emanate from civil engineering, chemical engineering andbioengineering. Not surprisingly, these fields can and do have significant impact on the qualityof human life and much of the research exists because of the widely accepted values based onthe sacredness of human life. Explicit illustrations of moral dilemmas and widely acceptedsolutions readily come to mind: We do not design overpasses that collapse in earthquakes, wedo not design space shuttles that explode when it gets cold 1 and we do not experiment withhuman

I did not enjoy the late nights of editing material and making sure things looked right, but it taught me so much about how to be an asset to my company. My hope for future students would be that when a company hires them, they would be seen as a vital asset that is needed in their company right out of college instead of being a brand new college graduate looking for a job. The best way we can make a name for SPSU is by producing students who are good at what they do.

Of interest in this paper are teaching practices around twopoints within engineering design: (1) brainstorming to generate possible ideas for prototyping,and (2) diagnostic troubleshooting and responses to failure after the first design or prototype hasbeen tested and prior to formal planning and creating a second design.In the research literature, there is shared understanding that teachers should engage students inbrainstorming and teachers should support them in this effort [2, 24].
