Over the course of his career, Tesla's strength was to identify a grand idea and todevelop a system around it. The difficulty with this approach was that it meant that Teslaexpected businessmen and consumers to adjust to his systems--based on an ideal--ratherthan Tesla adjusting his systems to the needs and wishes of society. In the case of hispolyphase versus split-phase motors, it meant that Tesla thought that society ought toadopt his beautiful polyphase system even if it meant replacing the existing two-wire,single-phase systems with the more expensive four-wire networks needed for polyphase.Practical considerations and cost meant little to Tesla in comparison to an ideal principle. The morale to the story of Tesla's split-phase

As this tabledelineates, the authors recommend essentially seven major focus areas for this type of course. Thecourse should begin with an introduction to ethics, where the student is introduced to this area ofstudy and why it will be essential for their professional careers. Second, the student should beexposed to the foundations of ethical theory, including a brief history of ethical thought, the majortheories that are used, and tools for solving problems with moral dilemmas.

These surveys indicated that the students were developing their problemsolving and cognitive skills, learning programming skills, teamwork skills, and, for themost part, improving their perceptions and attitudes towards careers in science andengineering. However, while we were successful in achieving most of our objectives,problems were encountered that required modifications in our plan of operation.

The coopexperience reinforces the learning experience and allows the student to focus on non-classroom aspects of a potential permanent career. The cooperative education programalso gives students an opportunity to expand education through an experience in a realcompany. The co-op student is treated like a member of the staff and althoughinvolvement with key company decisions and actions varies by company, the experienceusually includes a healthy mix of tasks.

On suchprojects, students learn to work with stakeholders to scope the project, clarify requirements, anditeratively work through the product realization to execute the project. Reifenberg and Long(2017) explain that industry-sponsored team capstone projects create value for the client and aremore valued by students. However, the broadly-defined nature of most client-based capstoneprojects can also lead to higher frustrations when the stakeholders (faculty members, sponsors,and student teams) are unable to develop and
