Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

never saw a disconnect between engineering and ethics and always felt that when you're teaching specifically design courses, most importantly design courses, that ethical considerations have to be integrated in the class… there might be an engineering ethics course because it seemed like it was a standalone thing that you could ignore.Divorcing ethics from core courses, including design, in the curriculum may imply that ethicsand engineering are divorced in practice. The interviewee concluded, “ethics needs to beintegrated throughout the curriculum.” If ESI is not distributed throughout the coursework andintegrated with core content, students may perceive it as tangential to engineering, which canimpact their ability to recognize and

A carbonfootprint study was undertaken to enable a data-driven laboratory experiment design to reduce carbonfootprint by selecting an efficient feedstock for the fermentation process. In the undergraduate laboratory curriculum, refined sugar is the most common feedstock used inbioethanol production. In this study, the student team also investigated another alternative feedstock of cornsyrup based on the bioethanol conversion/yield4,5. Studies have shown that the amount of CO2 generatedfrom the chemical processes is directly proportional to the conversion rate 3. Since corn syrup contains morecomplex sugar, the lag phase is

At that time, our physics program was integrated with a single departmentalong with two other disciplines in the department of Computer Science, Audio Technology, andPhysics (CAP). Shortly after our study was conducted, each of these programs separated and 3independent departments were created.As part of our study, we looked at comparative data from 22 national undergraduate programsfocusing on those that were in universities without graduate programs in physics as well as thosein liberal arts colleges.
