Only available for juniors or seniors, this course was often left untilthe final semester, while the students were interviewing for jobs, and administered jointly with Proceedings of the 2021

That said, whenever itwas possible to avoid changing the primary standard, the integrated standards were matched tothe primary standard.For the Engineering Integrated Standards the EA Stage 1 competencies were selected as thePrimary Standards. The Stage 1 Competency Standard for Engineering Technologist is thePrimary Standard for the Bachelor of Technology and the Stage 1 Competency Standard forProfessional Engineer is the

the expectation of an engineer. Two of the eleven ABETStudent Outcomes5 highlight on ethical responsibility of an engineer, and understanding theimpact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. ASCE also highlights on thewell-being of our communities and consistently improving the quality of life of the generalpublic4. IEEE emphasizes on engineers’ responsibility in making decisions consistent with thesafety, health, and welfare of the public6. To meet the needs of the society and to train theengineering students with the importance of ‘serving the community’ we created a course calledService Learning. The students are expected to understand the importance of ‘serving thecommunity’ and gain the perspective of improving the

Information literacy is just one of many professional skills that students need to succeed in both their academic and professional careers. Colwell outlines 14 such skills including oral and written communication, time management, ethical decisionmaking, and leadership [3]. The Bern Dibner library at NYU Tandon hosts between 20 and 30 workshops a semester on topics including data services, research skills, and information literacy. Over the

We realizedthat to accomplish our goals we need to make sure that our students have an in-depth knowledgeof their major field of study, broad understanding of the engineering and its impact on society,skills in communication and critical inquiry, multi-cultural and global perspectives, activeparticipation in professional communities, and a clear understanding of ethical choices inherentin human development. To accomplish these objectives, the following topics, with theanticipated outcomes, were developed:Topics Covered: 1. Keys to success in Engineering Study 2. Success in the Classroom 3.

, longitudinalstudy of over 300 engineering students at 4 universities nation-wide, students rated theirprofessional/ethical responsibility as engineers, their concern for understanding the consequencesof technology, their degree of social consciousness, and their concern for understanding howpeople use machines. Ratings were collected twice during their college career and once 18months following graduation. The results of Cech’s study revealed that engineers, both asstudents and then when working in industry, showed a linear decline for concerns about publicwelfare across the time points. This report highlighted that engineering students over timeshowed diminished prosocial trait endorsement. Cech’s findings further motivate the study ofprosocial affordance

students to pursue both knowledge and wisdom, and to aspire to ethical and moral leadership within their chosen careers, their community, and the world. We value a spirit of community among all members of the college that respects academic freedom and inquiry, the discovery and cultivation of new knowledge, and continued innovation in all that we do.The mission statement of the University is reflected in these mission statements. In addition,these mission statements guided the development of our objectives, which are presented later inthis paper.FacultyA full-time teaching load in the College of Engineering at Villanova is 12 contact hours persemester. If a faculty member is an active scholar, this load is reduced to 9
professional lives. Appreciating technical work as an expression of the individual who created it also encourages personalidentification with work. Martin and Schinzinger, authors of Ethics in Engineering, assert that there is a positivecorrelation between personal identification and pleasure derived from one’s work and the capacity to actethically (i.e., to be socially responsible in the performance of that work). 12 One aim of the study of “TheEngineer as Designer” is to help engineering students experience technical work in a way that connects thatwork both to their personal identity and to their social responsibilities. The premise is that people whounderstand the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of their work are more likely to perceive

The purpose of the CSI course is threefold: (i) toprepare students for the ethical challenges that they will face in their lives and careers, (ii) toexpose students to the different paradigms used by professionals from other fields, and (iii) toengage students with faculty who are at the forefront of their respective disciplines. The CSIcurriculum project was piloted in Fall 2008. Six SJSU faculty members, representing theColleges of Business, Science, Engineering, Applied
