This breadth of skills is needed bygraduates who will become effective leaders in areas such as infrastructure enhancement, andenvironmental preservation. To best meet these needs, the engineering curriculum at RowanUniversity emphasizes: (i) "hands-on" and team oriented education; (ii) inter and multi-disciplinary education; (iii) use and
concern for the environment, quality and ethics. (5)A second definition states Engineering Management is the discipline addressed to making andimplementing decisions for strategic and operational leadership in current and emergingtechnologies and their impacts on interrelated systems. (12)In 1989, IIE prepared the following definition of IE to reflect what the profession would be in2000:Industrial Engineering will be recognized as the leading profession whose practitioners plan,design, implement, and manage integrated production and service delivery systems that assureperformance, reliability, maintainability, schedule adherence and cost control. These systemsmay be sociotechnical in nature, and will integrate people, information, material
enable students to pursue post-graduate education in nuclear engineering and relatedfields, and to adapt to emerging technologies throughout their career; and a broad perspective ofthe ethical responsibilities and societal impact of their profession. Page 2.236.1Knowledge GoalTo provide a fundamental education in all of the areas of: mathematics, physics,computer science, basic engineering science, nuclear engineering design, and humanitiesincluding ethical, societal and diversity issues. This will include in-depth exposure to most of theareas of: radiation shielding, reactor physics and design of core loading patterns to achieve safeand efficient
projects provided by industry partners ordesigned by faculty in collaboration with industry representatives, with students assuming greaterresponsibility for their own learning. Work experiences for students will play an important role,and a wide range of instructional methods and tools will be employed, making use of advancedinstructional technologies to develop critical thinking skills, work ethics, social values, and teamparticipation, as well as leadership qualities. Emphasis will be placed on developing the skillsthat allow students to function as team members on group projects, to write effective memorandaand reports, to give clear and concise oral presentations, and to make timely and cost-effectivedecisions based on social, environmental

They included localhighway projects, building collapse, construction safety, commercial building constructiontechniques, etc. Each team reported their finding by e-mail.Module VII was designed to introduce the student to engineering ethics. The student teams wereasked to read NSPE case studies, write memos with their opinion and be prepared to discuss it inclass.A video titled “True Steel Affair” was viewed by the class and each team discussed the caseprior to viewing the conclusion of the video.

While more research is needed in this area, it is our hope that these findings willlead to a well-supported definition for what it means to be a globally competent engineer

The first approach is often too broad, unfocused, and shallow, while thesecond aims to create well-rounded critical thinkers without the technical competencies expectedby engineering industries. More middle ground options include adding courses in history, ethics,literature or the performing arts with an intentional engineering focus, though these courseschallenge the high credit requirements of many engineering programs [5], [7], [8], [9], [10].Other attempts incorporate liberal arts through guest lectures, course modules, and pairedcourses, though typically at the cost of some technical depth or breadth [3], [11].

The sequence of short, focused modular courses provides a framework conducive to thecycle of (re-)design, enactment, and study of the proposed graduate training activities.

In future semesters, a tax casefor various forms of business entities, such as a partnership, could be created. Additionally, thetopic of income taxes could lead to discussions of ethical behavior in a business setting, withpossible development of a class project on ethics. From a broader standpoint, the income taxreturn project could be a springboard for discussion on the role of U.S. taxpayers
