Case-based instructional methods have long been used in engineeringeducation, almost exclusively in the context of ethics where “there is widespread agreement thatthe best way to teach professional ethics is by using cases.”9Less common is the use of the case study method to integrate business learning, specificallyentrepreneurship concepts, with core engineering curriculum.

This fear is confirmed tosome extent by studies that reveal students’ admissions that cheating is common.1 Research in both the UnitedStates and Great Britain confirms that about fifty percent of college students admit to cheating.2Online learning forces instructors to deal with new practical issues.

The most obvious weak area in theMET program at my university is that no heat transfer course is required, although one isoffered as a technical elective. Another weak instructional area is ethics, but it countsonly two percent of the FE examination grade (four percent of the morning grade). Somebelieve that this unique area can be handled pretty well with the limited material in theReference Book possibly along with limited coverage in a seminar-type course. For theEET program at my university, the deficiency list includes fluid mechanics, materialsscience/structure of matter, and mechanics of materials, statics and thermodynamics aswell as

It is difficult toidentify the exact reason for this difference, but it may be linked to a socialization processthat students undergo when they enter college or perhaps sooner. For example, 60% ofstudents reported that they disapproved of cheating and 71% felt guilty about cheatingindicating that for most students there is an ethical implication associated with academicdishonesty.10 However, in the same study, 85% of students indicated that cheating was anormal part of life in college.Several researchers

Having little influenceover these issues, university education must take advantages brought by the other side of some ofthese problems. Lack of interest in group work and lack of respect for authority do have somepositive notion in them. They are typically associated with principles of western culture, such asindependence, individualism and self-reliance. The overlying challenge for engineering educators ishow to harness these positive personal characteristics into skills of team work, efficientcommunication and high work ethic which are among the skills

A code of ethics shouldeventually be adopted for ecological engineering.The second sticking point then, is if we decide to include a statement of values in the definition,what values should we express? This is a hot topic, but concepts such as human benefit,sustainability, and ecological health and integrity are often mentioned in the literature. For now,the statement of values in the definition of ecological engineering will be most accepted if itappeals to a plurality of value frameworks.7Program ScopeWe have defined ecological engineering broadly and advocate its application to a number ofproblem areas.

I thought that studying a spectacular failurein crypto might leverage students’ interests in the manner of other case studies in engineeringethics and communication, such as the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle tragedies.
