Estell is Professor of Computer Engineering and Computer Science at Ohio Northern University, where he currently teaches first-year programming and user interface design courses, and serves on the college’s Capstone Design Committee. Much of his research involves design education pedagogy, including for- mative assessment of client-student interactions, modeling sources of engineering design constraints, and applying the entrepreneurial mindset to first-year programming projects through student engagement in educational software development.

Communicateeffectively as members of multidisciplinary teams.” [2] One of Georgia Institute of Technology’sProgram Educational Objectives for its BSME is “Our graduates will be global collaborators,leading and participating in culturally diverse teams, fostering inclusive environments, andacting ethically to discover and apply new knowledge and engineering practices.” [3]How do students gain this knowledge and experience of teamwork? Many Engineering programscontinue to offer Technical Writing as a stand-alone one-time course, usually in the student’ssecond or third year. This is important because Technical Writing is typically where teamwork isintroduced and/or practiced.Course syllabi: It seems logical to assume that Engineering and

example, a laboratory on controls typicallyrequires sophisticated and expensive machinery, precise sensing equipment, and computingresources. Simulating these mechanisms in Processing vastly decreases the cost of equipment(students can perform the laboratory assignment on their home computers) and increases thepossibilities for exploration, as the system under control can be perturbed by forces of arbitrarycomplexity, extensive and sophisticated instrumentation is possible, and there exists nomachinery to maintain, wear out or break, removing many stumbling blocks from the laboratoryexperience.As the educational field should adopt the “First, do no harm” principle from medical ethics, anydemonstration or simulation should not mislead the student

Engineers that are flexible, work well inteams, have good communication skills and knowledgeable about political, environmental,economical and ethical concerns are becoming commonplace. The effect of globalization hasalso put more pressure on engineers and engineering education. Martin et al.9 studiedengineering graduates’ perception on how well

The design process for Solar Decathlonhomes includes not only standards, but also brings economic, environmental, manufacturing,ethics, safety, health, social, and marketing issues along with it. It is hard to imagine a betterway to expose students to the broad range of issues they’ll face during their careers. Design
well as their corresponding lectures.As mentioned earlier our mentors were recruited in a careful selection process where the most Page 22.1059.5important skills were leadership, technical background, creativity and pro-active attitudes. Inaddition to these important skills, the mentors needed to have some knowledge and backgroundon how to be a role model for their peers. During this workshop, mock discussion sessions wereprepared on real-life subjects such as learning, teaching and learning styles, ethics in workplace,etc. The fundamental goal of this workshop was to train the mentors on how to lead a discussionsession with their mentees and

For 5 groups of 5 students, two trained undergraduate student assistantsare required. As noted above, the game includes elements common to many first yearengineering courses, such as literature searching and citation, introduction to differentengineering disciplines, poster and podium presentations, engineering ethics, and teamwork. Inaddition, it covers important supplementary topics that often are not covered in introductorycourses such as keeping a design notebook, time management, and interacting

response at the interview. Interviewing is time consuming for the interviewee andthe interviewer. A one hour interview will typically take four hours to transcribe andsummarise for an experienced interviewer and much longer for an inexperienced one.Ethical approval is also necessary with anonymity for interviewees normally required.This means colourful or individual quotes, which might accidentally identify a source,must often be omitted. The basic ethical requirement is that no harm can be allowed tocome to sources because of their contribution to your research[8]. The standards ofpropriety have been raised in this area in recent years and the idea that you can let thedata speak for itself whilst allowing harm to somebody’s reputation or
– dominated hierarchy, similar to a contemporary university,the most valuable relationships an individual has are the ones that are defined by theinstitution. Being a full professor holds more status, and is “better” than being anassociate professor; likewise, from an ethical perspective, many times titles even dictatewho can talk to whom. In such a hierarchy, a professor must always first talk to hisdepartment Chair before broaching a controversial subject with the Dean. Thoughindependent relationships have some value within the university, for the most part,students are on the bottom, and faculty and administrators are on the top.Contrast to an entrepreneurial company. There, independent relationship formation, if itresults in company success, does

In addition, the Engineering Clinic provides ample opportunities to dealwith many of the “other” areas that a program needs to address such as ethics, economicconsiderations, and societal impacts.

Students are also introduced to some business managementconcepts including business startup management and small business management.

In this latter case, sometimes comparable, if notsuperior, software can be found in the open source marketplace without encumbrance by closedsource licensing issues. An example of such is Octave, an open source program comparable toMATLAB®. In other cases the commercially licensed software can be purchased by theacademic institution for a reduced cost for use by the project. But in any event, it is critical forfaculty and students to know and understand the professional and ethical considerations ofdesign software licensing for commercial activities.Outcomes:The IRE program began in January 2010, therefore we have only one semester of results

makes a product stand out in the real world. Over all I feel more confident in my decision of ECE as a major. I wish I had not procrastinated doing all of the assignments until the last week of the term. Entering this course I was a pretty clueless freshman who had no idea what ECE, CS, or any other courses here entailed. After this course and my others here I can safety say I now understand what a major in each would require. After this term I feel like I know what I want to do with my future, and that is pursue a CS major. The past semester of my freshman year I’ve changed a lot since high school and I’ve learned some of the necessary skills to strive in college. My work ethic has improved greatly and it shows in my grades
