Each product developed has to be evaluated as to whether it can be produced sustainablyand economically while taking into consideration the effect on the environment and protection ofhuman rights. With the introduction of new products and technologies, bioethics is evolving,which means the educational community has to be up to date with the current bioethical issuesand accepted practice in order to prepare the engineering students to be involved in research as astudent and in industry.

Second, we explore thisconceptual framework empirically by analyzing how engineering students perceive andexperience civic responsibility in the first-year curriculum at a large Mid-Western University inthe United States.BackgroundThe term “responsibility” often implies accountability [8]. Here we briefly discuss the limitationsof focusing on individual responsibility and accountability in engineering ethics. We then arguethat a focus on civic responsibility can address these limitations.Responsibility and individual accountabilityEngineers develop technologies through complex and

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology recognizes thisshortcoming in engineering programs, and has clearly outlined the technical and non-technicalskills necessary for success in an increasingly complex and interdisciplinary workplaceenvironment.15 Teaching cognitive processing skills, communication and team working skills,ethics, global awareness, and environmental

STEM can be considered as one contentarea or four content areas. We often ask our students to describe STEM. They usually answer bystating the letters S, T, E, and M stand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, butdo not state any concept of what “STEM” means.
