As part of their execution of a design, students are expected to demonstratethe establishment of design specifications and criteria, analysis and synthesis techniques, aesthetics, safety, con-struction, testing and evaluation. The courses also provide some exposure to mathematical modeling, the use ofchemical, mechanical and electrical analogs, optimization, ethics, robust design, life cycle analysis, reliability andother current topics in engineering design.The background that students have prior to embarking on a fourth-year project involving robotics includes physics,chemistry, six semesters of mathematics, statics and dynamics, electric networks and electronics, and

students coming into the course with different levels ofpreparation would need help in developing the skills necessary to delve into some significanthistorical scholarship. I wanted the course to challenge the simplistic view that history is merelya straightforward accounting of events and dates, and I also wanted to encourage analysis.I started, as previously noted, with Arnold Pacey’s broad definition of technology. Thisdefinition holds that technology is not merely technique (knowledge, skill, tools, machines,chemicals, liveware, etc.), but also includes cultural aspects (goals, values and ethical codes,ideas about progress, awareness and creativity, etc.) and organizational aspects (economic andindustrial activity, professional activity

The reason for lack of success in teamwork seems to be based Page 4.556.6on the conflict in personality, differences in work ethic and habits, the lack of experience inworking on teams, and a mismatch in skill levels between

. Engineers use a calculator more than they write. Writing and communication are important skills for engineers. Engineers spend a lot more time communicating with technical people than with non- technical people. Every engineering problem has a right answer and a lot of wrong ones. I believe I will need to use my imagination to solve important problems and be successful in the field of engineering. It is important for an engineer to be able to speak before a group. An engineer needs to take into account a lot of non-technical concerns -- such as fashions, economics, ethics, and politics -- in solving technical problems.Financial Incentive Engineers are well paid.Family Influences My parents want me to study

In an Engineering Ethicsclass, an instructor might present an ethical dilemma and allow free discussion among the studentsto encourage them to express various interpretations. In a large class it is possible to have studentsbreak out into small groups and have group discussion in an Annex (temporary room).

Students also reported that becoming more aware of their learning style strengthsand reconsidering how they studied, where they studied, with whom they studied werevaluable strategies.

With the progression of capstone lectures, students are exposed, perhaps painfully at first,to the stark reality that engineering is more than a masterfully manipulated set of complicatedcalculations that provide a specific solution to the stated problem. Far from that fantasy, theselectures generate a loud wake up call by demanding serious consideration of and answers toquestions that relate to the social, environmental and safety impact of their calculated solution.These lectures move ethical issues from the mental back burner where they were occasionallystirred to keep them somewhere within the student’s fleeting consciousness to the forbearing

Seattle, WA, 28 June - 1 July 1998ABSTRACTThe primary goal of Rowan University's freshmen engineering course is to immerse students inmultidisciplinary projects that teach engineering principles using the theme of engineering meas-urements in both laboratory and real-world settings. Currently, many freshman programs focuseither on a design project or discipline specific experiments that may not be cohesively inte-grated. At Rowan, freshman engineers are introduced to industrial problems through a series of 4modules and a interrelated-interactive lectures on problem solving, safety and ethics.
