engineering curriculum. Therefore, the introduction of divergent thinking canbe met with resistance, especially if it is not related to and integrated into the engineeringcurriculum. If it is perceived as a different field, then students may not understand that studyingtheir ethical decisions will relate directly to their careers. To combat this, some instructorsapproach ethics from a convergent (cognitive) perspective and/or engage students by grabbingtheir attention (heroic actions, catastrophic events, fictionalized scenarios) that may not be aseffective at changing behavior due to taking too large of an imaginative leap.Preparation for ethical conflicts makes one more likely to act ethically [23], but most ethicaldecisions engineers face in

A recent curriculum innovation resulting from theseefforts involves the integration of collaborative, applied, problem-solving workshops into thefirst-semester engineering mathematics course. This paper will summarize the project team'swork to develop two instruments - one to gauge students’ abilities in using mathematics inengineering contexts; and the other to gauge students' self-efficacy perceptions related tostudying engineering and to learning and applying mathematics – that can be used to assess theeffects of this innovation and others like it.

With the advent of the vacuumtube, EE entered the “electronic age” which ‘flourished’ in response to the needs of World warII.
