A Moral Foundation: How to begin? Rebeca G. Book, William Pfannenstiel Pittsburg State UniversityIt is evident by the stories in the media that ethics are missing in our society. How can we teachethics to our engineering or technology students? This paper will explore different methods andtools that can be implemented and then assessed in trying to teach ethics to students. One of themain points is that students must be taught at lower levels or at the beginning of their universityexperience. Tools and methods that will be covered are: student handbooks – publicity andexpectations, actions and consequences, ties to professional occupations, use of
approximately ten thousand students. Theuniversity is comprehensive with over one hundred programs from associate to doctoral level. The Collegeof Technology provides a variety of engineering technology programs including Manufacturing, Plastics,Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology and others. The Electrical/Electronics Department supportsthree degree programs; an Associate in Industrial Electronic Technology, a Bachelor in Electrical/ElectronicEngineering Technology (TAC-ABET accredited) and a new Bachelor degree in Computer Networks andSystems. Since 1988, EDA tools have been used in several classes of the BSEET program.’” Since the toolswere in a highly integrated environment, implementation took the form of projects that started with
learned by engineering faculty as aresult of offering the course and finally the future plans for other GE courses.RationalIt is widely accepted that increasing the technical literacy among all students is critical as oursociety becomes increasingly dependent upon science and technology. A technically illiteratepopulation is not capable of understanding and making the informed decisions necessary tomaintain our quality of life. The overall decline in B.S. degrees in engineering during the period1996-2000 as documented by the Engineering Workforce Commission of American Associationof Professional Societies highlights this problem1. Policy makers often lack understanding oftechnical issues due to a lack of training in technical fields. For example
Original Quarter One Projects Utilizing Rapid Prototyping Bruce A. Feodoroff New England Institute of TechnologyAbstractThis paper describes the success New England Institute of Technology (NEIT) is experiencing ingrabbing hold of the first quarter students’ creative energy and motivating them to succeed inMechanical Engineering Technology. The introduction and use of a rapid prototype machine hassignificantly impacted not only the quality of the resulting original project models or prototypesbut has greatly enhanced the learning experience for quarter one (freshmen) students. This hashelped in sustaining the students’ interest in Mechanical Engineering
prior to the start of the course their knowledge and perceptions of their skill levels invarious Industry 4.0 topics. This course serves as a broad overview of digital and smartmanufacturing topics, and relevant social and economic developments. In the survey responses,students responded that they did not have significant experience or knowledge in Industry 4.0technologies.IntroductionAs the industry goes through a significant transition, with the implementation of Industry 4.0technologies, it is necessary for engineering and technology programs to develop new curriculaaround these new technologies. With these newly developed curricula, gaps form betweenexpectations of students’ previous experience and their true knowledge, where students

through the eyes ofthose in the field. Both successful as well as unsuccessful systems engineering practices areabsorbed before the students enter the engineering workplace.IntroductionMost electrical engineering and electrical engineering technology curricula focus on specificaspects of electrical engineering, such as circuits, motors, communication systems, etc.However, it is rare to find an undergraduate class whose purpose is to not only look at electricalengineering and technology from a systems level, but also to look at how the electrical systemintegrates with mechanical systems. Furthermore, very few classes ever discuss real-worldaspects of the reliability and design limitations associated with putting a real-world design intopractice
