Aquestionnaire distributed to both graduate and the undergraduate class was designed to measurestudent perceptions of various engineering and ethical issues. This knowledge of contemporaryissues held by engineering students could prove to be beneficial to them as they graduate andbecome employed by organizations.FindingsTabular results of the study are found in Tables 1 and 2.

This trend is no different in Geospatial Technology fields. Acknowledging this trend, the proposed curriculum is also designed to prepare students for graduate-level education. In this respect, the proposed curriculum will emphasize the acquisition of research skills and effective writing and communication. Even if students do not choose to continue on for graduate education, these skills will enable them to be leaders and innovators in their careers. Furthermore, in preparing students for graduate education, this curriculum fits within the institutional vision for increased
