the first step, an undergraduate independent study course covering core SE conceptsand competencies applied to capstone projects was offered in the first quarter of 2014 (12students enrolled). Nearly all of the students who participated in the initial experimentaloffering of the core SE concepts and competency class were starting their fourth year capstoneproject. A few, however, were working on their third year society/technology project. Theprojects ranged from an autonomous robot development capstone to various computer/electricalengineering capstone projects, and one third year IQP focused on redeveloping a first yearengineering projects based mechanical engineering design course. Unlike the formal follow-oncourse which was taught in an

Although the equation is a readily know “I-PAT” equation, humanimpact (I) on the environment equals the product of Population, Affluence, and Technology(PAT), where the impact is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the equation is potentially a new,yet easy to interpret concept for the engineering students.4 Asking where the anthropogeniccarbon dioxide comes from in the form of a series of leading questions can generally form theKaya Identity Equation as represented below.5 $!"# !"#$%&

Indeed, the Accredit- ing Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) now specifically requires training in ethics for all engineering undergraduates [emphasis added]. The Na- tional Institutes of Health requires formal ethics education for the graduate stu- dents funded by the NIH Training Grants Program. No doubt this focus on ethics in science and engineering fits into a broader debate about personal and social morals in general. This debate is strongly colored by what many perceive to be a steady erosion of moral standards throughout much of Western culture. Regardless of
