Philosopher of technology Carl Mitcham has recentlycalled upon engineers to philosophize as a way of both improving ethical behavior and increas-ing self-understanding. 7 One classical definition of the proper function of those within a univer-sity is to study the universe and everything in it. While it is true that bits and pieces of the widerfield of engineering knowledge appear in science, history, sociology, and mathematics courses, apicture of engineering as an integrated and significant human activity seldom emerges from thesetreatments by other disciplines.

Leadership research in academia also needs to focus on the ethical aspects andhow it affects learning. This includes the relationship between leadership and learning.There appear to be comparable characteristics of IT professionals and academic faculty. The ITprofessional has been described as high maintenance, and thus unique to lead. The older ITprofessionals are considered stagnant with little desire for new knowledge. They are alsoperceived as not desiring positions of management. 5 Similarly, academic faculty have beendescribed as “the last group of workers in the world who actually own the means of projection intheir job and have life-time job security”. 9 These practices are now being questioned ascorporate management styles are being adopted

-class time, required discussion questions were used to give the students achance to interact with each other and with the professor. The questions, posed by the professor,were open ended. Often, they had to do with ‘gray areas’ of materials – ethics, recycling, thepros and cons of changing from one material to another, etc. Other questions required students toresearch a certain topic, and provide links to information that they found interesting or helpful.A portion of the grade for the course was based on an open ended group project. Each group hadan open ended design question to research and answer, with an emphasis on material selection.Normally, student groups would present their solution to such a problem in front of the class.However, due

In rare cases, the seminars may have a liberal arts orinterdisciplinary backdrop.

While it would benice if all our students were perfectly ethical, it really is not reasonable to expect them not tolook at the solution manual when it is freely and readily available, and it is unfair to grade theproblems when part of the class already has access to the solutions and the other part does not.Since that time the author has picked homework problems from a textbook other than theassigned textbook (and of course not telling the students the source of the new problems).Textbook publishers are quite willing to send copies of alternative titles to instructors, so there isno shortage of sources for questions, and a different book can be
