For the past three years, the approach to this final projecthas been for the instructor to give a fairly well defined description of a problem and leave thedevelopment of an early-stage solution to the creativity of the students. This approach hasyielded positive results with respect to preparing them for their sophomore and senior levelengineering design courses. However, in order to incorporate the ethical and societalresponsibility of the engineering profession, while maintaining the traditional emphasisnecessary in graphics science, a service-learning element has been included in the final projectbeginning Fall 2001 wherein the students define their

Morespecifically, we report our experiences over the past half dozen years with team-teaching a course entitled“Electrical Engineering in American Life.” An outgrowth of earlier reforms intended to enhance retention ofengineeringstudents, this course has evolved in ways we believe make it an ideal instrument for implementing the letter and thespirit of the new criteria in engineering education.

students who are working can more easily relate to ethical issues, can sense the interpersonalissues involved and can sort out the responsibility lines. Typically, these students enter college fiveto fifteen years later than the traditional students, work full time in industry, and invest five to tenyears earning an A.S. degree. For instance, they pick up well on the career implications of mostethical dilemmas. They bring to the classroom an appreciation for the pressures in the industrialworld and the methods used to cope with them. The younger students, in general, try to follow atypical textbook approach in their course of action, and then come up with a solution, which,although correct in theory, sometimes would not go over well in a real

The debate over whether academic dishonesty is on the rise orwhether technology has altered the way that violations appear is ongoing; however, what isimperative is that engineering educators begin to work to integrate this crucial aspect of one’seducation into the objectives of their courses. Students need to learn that academic honesty is acritical part of their educational endeavors and that their future work as an engineer is dependentupon the professional ethics that they must uphold.There are many types of academic integrity violations, ranging from minor to

It can be argued that such training servesas the teaching equivalent of the PE; the PEE, as it were.All of this implies a second characteristic of a profession, that is, that it possesses a codified body of knowledge andexpertise. A third characteristic of a profession is that it has agreed standards of behavior, and a set of ethical standardsthat members abide by or face sanctions for violating.This paper argues that, certifications or degrees aside, university teaching should be a professional activity and effectivetraining should be required.
