itproduced a “wrong” answer because it failed to account for the most significant factor in ethicaldecision-making: a decision that has the potential to harm the environment, people or morespecifically children, will have a more greater impact on the decision than the current modelallows [4].A traditional cost-benefit analysis (CBA) consists of listing alternative projects and programs,listing stakeholders, and selecting measurements. In the triple bottom line approach, quantifyingsuch attributes becomes increasingly difficult as has been discussed since the introduction of thesocial and environmental components in the 1970’s. The difficulty in creating a commonmeasurement of quantity for comparing and creating a single CBA rests in the question of

The sameinstructor taught both cohorts from the same set of lecture notes, and students were required touse the same textbook [38]. Homework assignments were similar, simulation-based learningassignments were identical, and midterm exams were of approximately equivalent difficulty.The project assignment was intended to replace Cohort #1’s third midterm, and the content ofthese assessments is not expected to influence preparedness for the final exam. Importantly, bothcohorts completed identical final exams in equivalent testing conditions.Final Exam PerformanceThe

that the position data is correct they are asked to use thecode to collect position and time data for a cart moving on a horizontal track. The carts are fairlylow friction and students expect to find a linear relationship between the position and time. Thisproject has been run with 4 laboratory sections (20 different lab groups of 3-4 students) over twospring semesters. Each year one lab group has used the 0.25 s delay between acquisitions as the∆t to build their position vs. time graphs. This produces very good results for a cart that is givena speed of around 0.5 m/s. The rest of the lab groups have relied on the default time variable,Duration, output by the starter sketch, see Fig. (4). This output produces a plot of position vs.time that
car and hallway used for testing are shown in Figure 4. During the test, thecar is placed in various lateral starting positions and orientations on one end of the hallway. Thehallway used for testing is 7.5 feet wide by 43 feet long. When the car started with a clear viewof both sides of the hallway, it was able to stay close to the center of the hallway most of thetime. However, sometimes the car would travel in an S or zig-zag pattern, by overcorrecting inone direction and then overcorrecting again in the opposite direction about the center of lane.The zig-zagging resulted in lateral deviations of up to 1 foot on either side of the center of lane,and crossing the center of lane up to 13 times while traveling down the hallway.

merits of the Doctor of Engineering in Engineering degree,and its purpose in training engineers to become professional managers in a technical field.Program HistoryThe Doctor of Engineering degree program was created in the mid-1980’s as the college’s firstprofessional doctoral degree. It went through administrative revisions in the late 1980’s to becomethe program it is today. There were very few professional doctoral programs in the country at thattime. Most of the interest in professional degrees was at the master’s level. It is important to note,as well, that the title of the degree does not have the same meaning at all institutions and in allcountries. Some use the Doctor of Engineering title for a research-based engineering

This is necessary since it’s not uncommon for the most popular project to have more than twice as many 1st choices as the maximum team size and thus there is an increased chance that the student(s) who proposed the project will not be assigned to that team.Data is gathered with a student interest survey given using Canvas, a learning managementsystem. A minimum of five questions are asked requesting the student to choose their first,second, third, etc. choice. Additional questions can be asked if certain projects require
