recognize that mostpeople do not understand what tenure is, how it is earned, how it can be lost, and why it isimportant. Carrying this one step further, many people outside of academia do not even reallyknow the full array of activities that are involved with faculty jobs. Engineering faculty can playan important role in educating the public about tenure and what faculty do because (a) manypeople are impressed by someone being an engineer because it isn’t something that they thinkthey have the skills to do, and (b) politicians and business leaders are very much interested inhaving more STEM graduates and therefore will view engineering as a “worthwhile” subject tostudy in college. (This is not to say that non-STEM disciplines are not valuable to

It is clear from the results within Appendix A that senior andjunior students within the fields of mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineering werepredominantly interested in attending the event. The concentrations least interested in attendingwere students within the areas of Business and Project Management.The overall effectiveness of the workshop was determined by a given scale. The survey can beseen in scale was a direct evaluation of the workshop. The scale was from 1-4 (Not Needed –Essential). According to results shown in Table 1 within Appendix B of the given survey, theworkshop was successful to “disseminate

It isbetter to learn this axiom early, rather than late, in an engineering career. Engineering studentsare reminded of this throughout the course.The engineering-ethics guidance provided to students in the course may be summarized in thefour practical points below. 1.
