The primary objectives of the course are based on ABET criteria andare to: enhance critical thinking and design skills; introduce students to a broad view ofengineering analysis and design; reinforce the importance of mathematics and science inengineering design and analysis; emphasize communication skills, both written and oral;develop teamwork skills; offer experience in hands-on, creative engineering projects; provide anintroduction to different fields of engineering; and introduce students to the ethical context ofengineering. This past year a service learning and leadership module was added to thetraditional curriculum. Students worked in teams to teach the engineering design

Define and distinguish different approaches to creativity and creative inquiry. 2. Understand the significance and impact of creatively working within a set of externally imposed constraints, both from an historical and working perspective. 3. Understand the importance and role of ethical, professional, and cultural issues in the creative process. 4. Critically analyze the creative work of others using appropriate tools and criteria. 5. Evaluate results of their own creative endeavors and, using

While the value of exposure to failure case studies to students is welldocumented, their relative benefits on different aspects of the student (professional, technical,ethics, etc.) are not well documented. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact ofincluding case studies in civil engineering and engineering mechanics courses on

An example of industry’s commitment is the June 3,1998, SBC (Southwestern Bell Communication) policy on universal design (accessible design):“SBC’s commitment to universal design principles is a tangible demonstration of the value SBCplaces on the worth and dignity of all individuals, including people with disabilities. SBC is 1committed to universal design.” This statement is only one example of the ethical andcompassionate efforts being shown in the business community for individuals with disabilities.A market study performed by the

trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based

Bhattacharyya1 states that civil engineers havedeveloped the greatest cities in the world and that they must be aware of the different cultures.Bhattacharyya1 also emphasizes the role of ethics as a means to promote public welfare.The issue of ethics is of a great importance to engineers and constructors and it is even a biggerof a challenge to those who wish to be involved in international projects. This is becauseethically acceptable behavior can mean different things in different cultures. Furthermore, evenwhen people agree that a certain behavior may be construed as

If teachers are to help students meet thesebenchmarks, they must have a comprehensive understanding of the broadspectrum of technology from how things work and why to the socio-economic,environmental implications and ethical questions related to the use of technology.In most universities in the United States the preparation of teachers is perceivedas the domain of colleges of education. However, the expertise in “technologicalliteracy” is multi disciplinary thereby offering opportunities for collaboration withpotential for enriching undergraduate and professional preparation of futureteachers.

Upper division engineering classes often have additional student outcomes,like SO#4: “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global,economic, environmental, and societal contexts”. Reports have been used to gauge student masteryof SO#4.

We argued that history of technology and engineering, rather than ethics oreconomics—the common non-engineering courses taken by engineers—is the ideal lens throughwhich to address ABET’ s recognition that that, by its definition as the application of scientificknowledge to the solution of real-world human problems, engineering must respond to changingeconomic, political and social contexts.From 1990 to 2014, The IEEE History Center was located at and formally co-sponsored byRutgers, the State University
