Professional and research ethics require authors tocite appropriately.Cited references in patent documents serve a different purpose. Patents are legal documents thatdefine the scope of an inventor’s intellectual property rights in a new invention or improvementon an existing technology.

It is outlined in ABET’s courseoutcomes criteria “ c” that students should have “an ability to design a system, component, orprocess to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability”4. The inclusionof a prototype in the design process helps to improve the final design. Witnessing the results andlearning through failure in the earlier design phase minimizes loss in the later stages of productdevelopment. Creating a physical prototype can be an effective way to observe and assess ideasbefore implementing

Care was taken to design this question to be inclusive, but concerns were still raised,primarily because of the plan to have parents of the participants sign the letter of consent. In thisprocess it was reasonable to expect that parents may read a completed version of the survey.
