The courses build on each other and are offered in sequence such thatthe students can graduate in a timely manner. In designing the framework, each of the four yearswas structured with a purpose and a focus. The basics and the fundamentals are maintained inthe first two years, while enhancing the excitement and the challenge by adding introductorycourses in design.

At theUniversity of Dayton, there are roughly 130 students in the undergraduate aerospace concentration androughly 40 graduate students. In 2002, the aerospace concentration within the department of mechanicalengineering was overhauled. The core curricula of aerospace engineering programs and combinedmechanical and aerospace programs throughout the country were evaluated to determine the necessarycourses to be offered in the curriculum at University of Dayton.

The 2015 Volkswagen diesel scandal,however, has sparked calls for moving away from “this compliance mindset” in ABET accreditedschools to one in which ethics instruction is integrated more effectively and thoroughly into theengineering curricula.2 There is considerable debate about the most effective way to incorporateethics instruction in the classroom, whether as a stand-alone course or as incorporated throughoutthe engineering curriculum (or both).
