Engineering Education, 2011 Views of Diverse Groups of International and American Students Concerning Business, Cultural, and Ethical IssuesAbstractUniversity programs have a growing number of students from all around the world, making itimportant to consider the perspectives of these students to maximize their learning experiences.As manufacturing and business activities and operations become increasingly global, theopportunity for interaction with these students gives all of our students, including traditionalNorth American students, the opportunity to learn about other cultures and their impact onbusiness and business ethics. It is far too easy to assume mistakenly that all students view class topics from the traditionalCanadian

-Credential on Professional EthicsIntroduction and Literature ReviewEngineering practice is not without risk for the public and one’s customers. As Sottile (2023, p.1) recently argued, “the safety and security of the public rely on the professionalism ofengineers.” The issue of effective engineering ethics education is important enough that theengineering accreditor ABET prescribes it as a student program outcome (ABET, 2021). Thiswork looks-in on a novel curricular development approach for creating a micro-credential inprofessional ethics at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), a large, public, research-intensive institution location in the northeast United States. The novelty of this approach rests onthe curricular development team
