Many of the successful entry-level engineering courses include some form of experientiallearning. Experiential learning has been identified as an effective way to help engineeringstudents develop both technical skills and non-technical skills such as oral and writtencommunication, project management, leadership, the ability to work on multi-disciplinary teams,a good understanding engineering ethics and

Negotiating Comfort in Difference: Making the Case for Interdisciplinary Collaboration April A. Kedrowicz University of Utah/College of EngineeringAbstractThe face of engineering education is changing. Engineering students’ education not onlyemphasizes technical skills learned through math, science, and computer technology, but inmany cases, also has a leadership focus, manifested through an emphasis on oral communication,writing, teamwork, and ethics. In response to the growing demand for engineers to occupypositions of leadership in organizations upon graduation, engineering educators have had torethink the approach taken to

Session 1661The Whammy Line as a Tool for Fostering Moral Imagination Rosanne L. Welker, W. Bernard Carlson University of VirginiaA central goal of engineering ethics instruction should be to help students develop their moralimaginations. According to Patricia Werhane, moral imagination refers to the ability ofprofessionals to imagine a variety of outcomes for their decisions. Werhane emphasizes that ifone is unable to imagine different scenarios, then one cannot assess the risk or apply a frameworkfor moral reasoning (such as utilitarianism, Kantian duty ethics, Lockean rights ethics, orAristotelian virtue ethics).1 However, we have

Sliced differently, half were on an introductory level, and half advanced.Finally half were natural candidates for acoustic demonstrations, the other half not. Eachof the eight modules is a unique combination of those three dimensions see Table 1below.Volunteers were recruited from the undergraduate population in the engineering faculty,and were asked to sign a consent form, approved by the University’s Ethics ReviewBoard.

The Construction Management Department of the College of Engineering has offeredstudent internships for over 10 years. During this period (ended in 1996), over 130 constructionmanagement and/or engineering students have participated in a one-semester internship with 73different employers in both the private and the public sectors. Of those 130 students, 32(approximately 25%) continued their internship for a second semester, with 23 (approximately70%) returning to the same employer.

Questions of child suicide, for example, allegedly caused by social media, and othersimilar behavioural problems have not been matters for TELPhE or ASEE although they havea powerful impact on the mind. That is, before matters of the ethics of design of such systemsare considered.

This integration is crucial for preparing future engineers to address complex real-worldproblems that span beyond technical solutions.The existing computing course (Introduction to Computing for Engineering, typically taken bymost engineering students in the spring semester of their first-year) historically was focused onteaching the technical concepts of coding and an introduction to data science (data manipulation,visualization, and interpretation).

The Korean students assessed their skills higher in design, problem solving, andcommunication skills. There was no statistically significant difference in leadership or analyticalskills. However, in spite of apparent national differences, the students follow similar genderpatterns.

The code for these chips is available(usually for purchase) so multiple chips can be fabricated in one chip (called a System-on-a-Chip). Our digital systems design course incorporates this concept. Students learnto integrate 3rd-party modules into their own digital designs and are encouraged to useany free modules they find on the internet. However, every module must be documentedand cited correctly for good engineering ethics. Students may use modules developed byother students in previous semesters as long as proper documentation is included.Since previous laboratory work is available to next semester students, the

The instructor of thisengineering design course often communicates the love for the teaching profession and the joy in thesuccess of the students.
