Interestingly, analogous discussions are takingplace in humanities disciplines, such as philosophy, where applied philosophy is in some circlesconsidered essential for making the discipline more relevant. Historically, arguments aboutenvironmental ethics within philosophy have narrowly focused on how best to think about“nature” in order to protect it: should it be viewed as a set of resources to be utilized for human-centered ends or does nature have some “intrinsic value” apart from how it can be utilized byhumans. But the increasingly shrill, narrow and pedantic tone of these arguments has only servedto alienate philosophers from those actually working in the field

We now see that the 2010 CURE cohort served as teachersor trainers for the PKU PIs and mentors. We believe that the first CURE cohort laid thefoundation for those to follow by demonstrating how undergraduates can be integrated into thework and work space, what undergraduates are capable of doing, how much experience andknowledge they bring to the work. One student described how her work ethic andaccomplishment influenced her PI and members of her lab: I had so much confidence during my presentation, I was proud of all my work I accomplished and the

The
musical instrument design focus is the popular debateabout the “secrets” of Stradivarius violins, although the answer to that debate is much less clearfrom a materials science point of view. Another significant difference between the two focusareas is that ethics and recalls are easily connected to biomedical devices in accessible andpersonally meaningful ways. When the musical instrument approach was used, other unrelatedcase studies, such as the loss of Alaska Air Flight 261 (a deeply meaningful one in our region),were used, for these course dimensions. So, no comparisons are possible in the ethics SLOs.Figure 9 compares student outcomes in several conceptual areas before and after the use ofbiomedical devices were used as a foundation for

These issues include:professional and ethical responsibility, the impact of engineering solutions in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Service-learning has the potential tomeet these objectives and have been shown
should be used by all engineers in their daily work. Using these methods will lead to a sustainable future for all. The need to introduce green engineering concepts to undergraduate students has become recognized to be increasingly important.1 This need is being driven in part through the US Engineering Accreditation Commission Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria 2000. Based on this criteria chemical engineering departments must incorporate “ethics, safety and the environment” into the curricula. An additional criterion that must be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global context. In addition, there has been a large amount of

attributes that graduates must develop during theirtraining in conjunction to the continuous improvement of programs. The attributes addresstechnical skills as well as social, ethical, and organizational skills within engineering practice torespond to the globalized and diversified environments that engineers will need to evolve in [5].Diversity is omnipresent in engineering regarding the sectors where engineers can work, theproblems they can solve, the multiple solutions they can propose, and the variety of peopleinvolved. As demonstrated in many papers [6], diversity in engineering is of great importance tocreate different approaches to problem-solving and better service for everyone.The provincial Quebec’s professional order of engineers defines

research projects , and holding part-timejobs on campus lead to increased retention and the likelihood of interaction with fellow students,faculty, and staff whereas off-campus activities and decentralized activities such as off-campusjobs decrease this involvement 43. The proximity to campus also is negatively correlated withcritical interactions. Students who drive to campus have less interaction with faculty (especiallyseniors) and do not take advantage of co-curricular activities, community service, andinternships. Therefore, students who tend to have a centralized community tend to see gains inpersonal and social competence associated with ethical development, appreciation for diversity,understanding of self, and citizenship 44.MethodsA
