everyday life and career choices of engineers. Key words: Engineering ethics, ethics and technology, first year students.IntroductionEthics, often viewed as a boring and fusty topic abounding with arcane phrases and eye-rollingphilosophy, has become a matter of almost daily concern and public interest. From Enron toVioxx with skewed or mis-reported data, to insulation breakdowns in defibrillators [1], NewOrleans levee failures, and with microelectronics manufacturers and plastics processesexperiencing difficult solvent choices [2][3], there are many issues for engineering decisionmakers. Ethics are also closely associated with the “rules and standards governing the conductof members of a profession.” [4]Ethics embraces more than the “Golden Rule

THE MAKING OF ENGINEERS: THE ROBOT CHALLENGEBy Neville JacobsINTRODUCTION The purpose of this presentation is to describe two IEEE initiatives that we believe can raise theinterest of students in technology and engineering, counter the influence that television has exerted inglamorizing careers in other fields, such as medicine, law and high finance; and introduce students to thefun of getting involved with engineering challenges . We all know that engineering can be very excitingand rewarding, but we need to bring this to the attention of our pre-college students, so as to obtain alarger proportion of them going on to Engineering schools.TWO SYMBIOTIC PROJECTS:TISP - TEACHER IN-SERVICE PROGRAM This is an enrichment program
