It also supportsthe need for technologists and engineers to be responsible to ensure that implications are thoughtthrough.10 As a teacher, it might be productive to include ethics of engineering and technologyin the curriculum since our evidence, in agreement with Gorham, suggests that students aretrying to understand if the contributions are good or bad and they will be making severalpersonal and community decisions about technologies.11Difficulty of understanding engineering and

Qualitative analysis of these statements indicated that: 1) the class isvalued by students compared to other, more theory-based classes in the program; 2) students sawother project-based and laboratory classes as providing better preparation for an engineeringcareer than theory-based classes; 3) students valued the certification training and

Consequently, the instructor should clearlyexplain the ethical and judicial repercussions of plagiarism. This will hopefully guide thestudents to police their own practices.10 Because OEPs require the students to doindependent study on the subject and to define a unique idea using limited knowledge,another good resource is the US patent database. Because each patent must have at leastone cookbook-type recipe concerning how to implement the idea, this makes patents avaluable source for students
