Efforts should be made to move the mentoring beyond the role of merelymonitoring student progress or performance to one of coaching that contributes real value tostudent learning. Faculty are the professional experts; the challenge becomes how to usementoring effectively to impart some of that knowledge and experience to students.ReferencesLikert, Rensis.

Lively discussion was facilitated by formalintroduction of various types of ethical systems, ranging from hedonism to socialism. Thediscussion was then steered towards engineering (why does an engineer need ethics?) and theenvironment (what constitutes an environmental ethic?), and wrapped up by outlining the poles inthe environmental ethics spectrum.III.

At most universities, cheating is dealtwith after the fact. Few institutions go beyond drafting an academic integrity policy toprevent cheating before it happens.

Subsequent projects become progressively more complex.In PDS the emphasis is on both accurately modeled parts and extracting fullydimensioned and specified engineering drawing to current ANSI standards. For greaterflexibility IronCAD™ also fully support ISO and JIS drawing standards as well as 1stangle and 3rd angle drawings.IronCAD™ easily excels at the task of extracting drawings because the model anddrawings are associative. From an instructional point of view s this is useful because itdoes allow editing of a dimensional value in the drawing, but it indicates any changeddimension by underlining them, the standard ANSI practice for displaying ‘not-to-scale’dimensions. This means that a student must maintain the integrity of model and cannottake
