DivisionAbstract Preparing chemical engineering students for careers in emerging technologies, suchas bioengineering and pharmaceutical engineering, is essential in today’s competitivemarket. To meet the industry (and student) demand for training in bio-focusedengineering, many schools offer specialized curricula that concentrate on the interfacebetween biology and engineering, or offer elective courses at the senior or graduate level.However, integration of biology and chemical engineering at the lower levels and in corecourses is often difficult in curricula that are already filled to capacity. The chemical engineering curriculum at Rowan University has been revised toinclude a Biological Systems & Applications course designed

Domestic college students’lack of cultural exposure is a serious liability in today’s climate of growing globalizationof business and technology; this problem is especially acute in engineering, whichaccounts for only 3% of all U.S. students who study abroad.1 In response to this problem,we present an innovative model of international engineering education that is novel indesign, large in scope (seventy-five students expected for Summer 2004), and non-traditional in location.There are numerous impediments to the successful creation of accessible, affordable,safe, and intellectually challenging study-abroad
were ‘not sure’ what an engineer does, and less than one-third couldcorrectly describe engineering. Examples of correct descriptions are ‘engineers use math andscience to make calculations needed to design, build, repair…’ and ‘an engineer is the ‘brain’behind most of the technology out there today, they design, manufacture and test’. Examples ofincorrect descriptions are that an engineer ‘works with computers and stuff’ and ‘fixes things’.Overall, there was no significant difference in knowledge about engineering between the malestudents (33%) and their female classmates (29%). Male students were more confident inventuring an answer, but not necessarily more knowledgeable. Although fewer male studentsindicated ‘not sure’, they also gave more

One needs only to scan thestatements of codes of ethics and/or canons for the various professional engineeringsocieties to note that concern for “the public welfare” is a major issue. In some casesprofessional societies were formed partly to fill the need to protect the public. Forexample, one of the earliest activities of ASME was to produce the boiler code in answerto the enormous loss of

Atman, and Larry Shuman University of Texas - El Paso/University of PittsburghbThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has proposed fundamentalchanges to their accreditation criteria that are performance based, rather than prescriptive. As aresult, engineering schools must now consider developing methods and measures to evaluatetheir engineering programs. One approach to developing program outcomes is to utilizefeedback from
learning and evaluating innovations in intercultural educational practice and global engineering programs.Brent K Jesiek, Purdue University, West Lafayette Brent K.

their understanding and enjoyment of engineering, increase their technological repertoire, appreciate the integration of design and analysis, learn how to work in multi-disciplinary teams, develop leadership, management, and communication skills, appreciate the importance of professional responsibility, and become motivated towards their engineering studies.While capstone projects have been a staple of engineering education for many years, freshmendesign projects have more recently also become ubiquitous [4]. That is a dramatic change fromthe past where it was not uncommon for engineering students to first encounter engineeringcourses as late as their junior year [5]. A key recommendation from the iconic
Technology (ABET) mandates that engineeringstudents demonstrate the capacity to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering contexts and make informed judgments, considering the global, economic,environmental, and societal implications of their engineering solutions. Unfortunately, there is ahistory of tragedies and disasters caused by unethical engineering practices, underscoring thecrucial need for students to be well-versed in these cases and prepared to make ethical decisionsin their future workplaces.Integrating ethics into the electrical engineering curriculum poses distinct challenges. Withinengineering programs, ethical considerations often vie for focus alongside technical aspects,potentially resulting in inadequate
course on Ethics, Professionalism, and Engineering Economics. The course istaught each year during the fall semester to typically 100 to 130 junior and senior students. It wasestablished to help satisfy some Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)student outcome criteria.These ABET criteria focus on abilities such as communications, non-technical problem solving,ethics, and professionalism.
