in both directions. In the process, non-major students can also gainappreciation for essential concepts, controversies and current areas of exploration, whiledeveloping increased technological literacy for critiquing scientific or technologicalclaims in presentations of various forms. Teaching an STS course, however, requires avery different pedagogical approach than a faculty member may use for a traditionalengineering course. Rather than an emphasis on rigorous quantitative problem solving orproject planning, non-major students benefit much more from an approach that providessufficient historical context and biographical details of explorers and their contributions.The instructor should effectively guide discussions on key questions

Although he / she would have normally graduated in the next3 semesters, this can not happen anymore due to the fact that CPE312 is a requirement course with a high cost(that is needed by many of the next courses in order to continue).

Pore pressure and fracture pressure are plotted on the horizontal axis vs. well depth on the vertical axis.2. For conventional drilling operations a straight line is drawn from the maximum pore pressure at total depth to zero pressure at the surface on the depth axis. This line represents the pressure gradient exerted by the drilling fluid in the wellbore. The intersection of the mud gradient with the fracture gradient is the depth where casing must be set in order to reach total depth.3. Next a similar line is drawn from the pore

Helping our decision, we receivedindication from QRTS that they had plans to support the ServoToGo board under RTWT (it nowis). We chose to use the ServoToGo board because it allowed us flexibility with regard tooperating system, and was the most cost-effective solution.Among other features, the ServoToGo board supplies eight A2D channels, eight D2A channelsand eight encoder input channels. This is more than sufficient for the needs of our laboratory.V. Software InterfaceIn order for students to access the I/O board and control the MagLev, a software interface to theboard is required.

Project Partners: Each EPICS project addresses the technology-basedproblems of one or more service organizations in the local community. Agencies withappropriate problems must therefore be found.When planning for the EPICS Program started in the Fall of 1994, we were able to contact manydifferent service agencies at the same time by making a presentation about the program and itsgoals at the monthly meeting of the directors of all local United Way agencies. This singlepresentation led to many discussions with individual agencies and a long list of potentialprojects.From this list of potential projects, those best suited for the EPICS Program were selected.Projects are selected based on their

(elevators, ramps, etc.) exist. Aninitial concern in our approach was the required set-up time for the portable experimentalapparatus in the classroom. We have found that with proper planning (i.e., ‘dress rehearsal’ ofEXCITE exercises in the laboratory prior to class) the logistics of moving and setting up theapparatus are manageable. In fact, even for our largest and most complex apparatus (wind tunnelexperiments), set-up times on the order of five minutes are achievable. This allows for set-upwithin the ten minutes between classes typically scheduled.4.0 Student AssessmentThe general response to the introduction of the DIANE Philosophy and EXCITE exercises intothe classroom was strongly positive, as seen from the results presented in Table I

This includes the ability to produce a plan to design and implement the system and a mechanism to verify that the plan works and will achieve the objectives;• Evaluation: Student can evaluate, compare, critique, and judge various alternative solutions and improve upon a solution;3.2 Educational Maturity Model (EMM)Derived from Bloom’s taxonomy, we propose the so-called Educational Maturity Model (EMM).This model allows us to

However, the trial course only included a selectednumber of classical experiments and research related experiments. The course development isongoing, and the next offering of the course is planned in Spring 1997. It is anticipated that thelaboratory development will be completed by that time and the course will also include simulatedexperiments.

They then conceptualize both black box and morerefined models of the predicted product’s functionality and possible physical solutions(without taking the product apart). Only after this predictive phase is completed do theyactually disassemble the product. They document the steps of disassembly in adisassembly plan (in order to aid in reassembling the product) and also develop a bill ofmaterials which lists all of the parts contained within the product.

This will provide us valuable information on the ef�icacy of this approachacross a variety of STEM disciplines since the Summer Research Program has students from thespectrum of majors offered in the School of Science, from Physics to Psychology. Our plan alsoexplicitly tests a subset of participants a year later to see how well they retain their ethics trainingand how well they recall the question-directed approach.CONCLUSIONS This paper presents an approach that uses a question directed approach towards the teaching andlearning of tech ethics. The questions are memorable, and the expectation is that students throughrepeated instruction in the framework will continue to have this front of mind and therefore
