, rather than self-awareness about learning on the part of thestudent.Our “portfolio” approach begins with the collection of assignments in core courses that arerequired for industrial engineering majors. At WPI, each student also completes a senior designproject that is the equivalent of three courses. Because the project is such an extensive andcritical part of the WPI curriculum, we have had a peer review system in place for project reviewfor many years. The current “portfolio” approach extends this peer review of senior projects toinclude the collected course assignments. In addition to meeting course objectives, theassignments typically address outcomes that may not be demonstrated in the senior project, suchas an understanding of global

. We plan to move from a content-intensive, faculty-centered wayof delivering information and skills to a problem-driven, inquiry-based approach with embeddedassessments of student’s outcomes throughout a series of integrated courses. A new set ofintegrated core curriculum is planned which emphasizes the development in stages of specificlearning skills such as critical thinking and collaboration between students and instructors in anactive mode of learning. The integration of a knowledge set involving dynamics, vibration, systemmodeling and analysis, and control systems is the subject of this text. It is believed that thisintegrated experience will culminate in an integrated capstone or specialty experience in which thestudents will apply

essential to decidewhich projects would benefit the most from an integrated graduate student and which projectswould benefit sufficiently from a graduate mentor relationship.Due to the similarity between their implementations, the benefits of integration and mentoring atfirst appear to be almost identical. In both cases, the undergraduate student gains technical andnon-technical information from a graduate student who has previously completed a similar seniordesign curriculum. The graduate student benefits from working with a design team andperforming research through the undergraduate students that would not have been accomplishedotherwise. These benefits are the exact same for integration and mentoring when approachedfrom a theoretical standpoint

Furthermore, many instructional obstacles exist to incorporating ethicsinto the engineering curriculum, including instructor hesitancy to teach about issues in whichthey may have little training, difficulty identifying which ethics teaching practices are effective,and already-packed syllabi that allow little room for introduction of new topics. Thus, in thispaper, we describe a module in ethical problem-solving and an accompanying assessmentmechanism developed by the authors. This ethical problem-solving module addresses theaforementioned obstacles and may be readily adapted to other courses and engineeringdisciplines to achieve ethics education across the engineering curriculum.
