assignedproblemMarkkula Center for Applied Ethics provides five common criteria for weighing ethicalsituations: utility, rights, justice, common good, and virtue in their Ethical Decision Making app[7] – each of which leave room for student interpretation and discussion. According to aUtilitarian view, a form of consequentialism made famous by John Stuart Mill and JeremyBentham, value arises from added benefit or avoided harm. Goals of utility, happiness, and reliefor prevention of suffering seem the easiest to quantify, yet the perspective of the viewer tends tocolor the evaluation at least according to relevant time scale and scope, for example, the 5-, 10-,or 20-year plan of a particular business. A rights perspective argues for the protection ofstakeholders

The students who attended the international experience were invited toparticipate in a study through completing a pre- and post-trip survey. Similarly, the students whooriginally planned to go on the trip but decided not to attend also completed a survey. Items onthe instruments inquired about participants’ motivations and barriers to attend this internationalhumanitarian trip. Additionally, the study explored whether students’ mindsets shifted frombeing thing-focused to being more people-focused during the experience.Participants returning from the trip were significantly

their academic training and/or industrial experience, their knowledge baseages becoming less relevant to current technologies being used. This results in a negativeimpact on student education. Technical knowledge has a shelf life of approximately 5 years;therefore a faculty member should consider a sabbatical leave within this time frame.Feedback from industrial advisory boards constantly support the notion that faculty membersneed to stay current and be willing to add new curriculum to their degree plans which reflectthese changes. In a normal academic year, there is little time for adding new knowledge tocourses or updating technical skills. This in itself provides clear evidence sabbaticals areneeded and helpful in meeting expectations of

In thecomposite materials engineering program at Winona State University (WSU), theengineering seminar is a one-credit required course in the upper level junior orsenior years. The objective of the course is to develop research and lifelonglearning skills. The course is designed to enable students to engage inindependent research on a topic pertinent to engineering.Students are given the syllabus of the course at least one semester before thecourse begins, and are introduced to the basic elements of research whichinclude planning, strategy, and development of ideas.

Courses in this categorydon’t usually appeal to students planning to get into applied science and/or engineering. Theauthor is of the opinion that this category of compulsory coursework needs reform. Widerselection of courses, allowing for broader views, and more appropriate delivery methods wouldmake this block more appealing to students.Teaching Staff: Teachers in the Region are either nationals, or thus civil servants for life, orcontracted individuals drawn from Arab countries for a specified duration.

The other groupcame from a state university (University B) with very few students who were not raised in theMidwest. One class was twice the size of the other.

It is best described as “the planned use of thetelephone as a recruitment, follow up, and retention medium in conjunction with traditionalrecruitment programs to increase the yield rate from inquiries to admits to enrolled students inthe most cost efficient and timely manner”2.
