More recently, incorporating hands-on techniques intolecture classes has gained broad acceptance as a means to enhance retention of key concepts4,5.Although senior capstone classes for a given engineering discipline are geared towarddeveloping a student’s ability to synthesize theory into an engineering design, the methods ofinstrumentation and data acquisition often make project implementation less than satisfactory.Electrical Engineering programs generally require a course in Signals and Systems that coversthe theory of mathematically solving the

This is an easy statement to make and many engineering educatorshave gone to great lengths to develop methods for teaching synthesis within the currentframework. However, the problem remains that the background of most engineeringresearchers and

Professional identity development is the processof “becoming” a practitioner, including the reconciliation of professional identity with one’sother identities (such as gender and cultural identification). An effective path towardassimilating a professional identity is participation in the STEM community and in theperformance of work that is authentic to professional practice.All engineering students and many other STEM majors at Montgomery College take a freshmanlevel course called “Introduction to Engineering Design.” Like similar courses in virtually everyengineering curriculum, this course features development of fluency in engineering vocabulary,an introduction to some of the technology tools of

This poses an alternate view of quantifying what research has beendone and what areas need more attention. Furthermore, this supports the theory that K-12 EngER ismoving towards implementation of curriculum because learning systems (10%), educator‘spractice/curriculum (15%), and diversity and inclusiveness (11%) have had the least amount of research.For this reason, it can be expected that in order for progress to be made more research in theaforementioned areas will increase in the next decade. .

One way to organize a systematic program of this sort is toconstruct an overriding model or framework that lays out all of the pertinent variablesand the manner in which they are related. Using such a model would provide researcherswith a common framework in which to conceptualize their studies and make it easier tosee how individual studies (i.e., the specific variables and context being tested) fit intothe larger picture. In addition, a common framework will allow research results to bemore effectively integrated across factors, and gaps in understanding to be identified.The research tasks identified in the Instructional Design

In this form, individuals begin to viewa task as personally important to their goals, but these goals might still be extrinsically motivated(i.e. I have to make a certain grade to boost my GPA because this is how future employers mightview my potential success).

The purpose of this paper is to describe howethics was introduced into a foundation design course and the benefit of this particular approachfor the students.Why a design course?Design is about making decisions. A design course is an ideal place to discuss ethics because thedesign process includes many ethical decisions and practices. The students learning the designprocess face these decisions and use these practices although they may not recognize the ethicalcomponents.

Not only isit an enjoyable topic for many students, but it has a broad appeal due to its wide scope, includingaspects of electrical, mechanical and computer engineering. Further, the design of such systemsis an excellent tool for reinforcing fundamental engineering concepts.
