Reflective Activity on Participants’ Own College Experience At the beginning of the workshop, we asked the participants to take several minutes to write a reflection of their own educational experience. The goal in this exercise was two-fold: 1) to allow instructors to remember their own experiences or difficulties in maneuvering the educational system and 2) to recognize that their experience may be dramatically different than their current students. Reflection has been used in educational settings for decades as a way to solidify information, but reflection on the part of the instructors is less common. There are

workplace, making studentsaware of ethical issues in the professions, and providing students with decision-making processesfor ethical situations.BackgroundEthics across the curriculum (EAC), similar to the writing across the curriculum movement of twodecades ago, attempts to place ethics squarely in the context of a given course. The rationale isthat students do not necessarily transfer information from an ethics course into their technicalclasses. By offering ethics via a technical course, students can more clearly understand therelevance of ethics to their major. While the amount of time spent on ethics in any course willvary according to course goals and objectives, it should be closely tied to core course materialand, ideally, be integrated

This project created social andprofessional ties between juniors and freshmen that lead to a higher level of enthusiasm forthe engineering program. It also provided the freshmen an opportunity to observe juniorlevel students including work habits/organization, use of calculus and other fundamentalsand writing.

Therequired steps in the process included researching the literature for relevant information.Frequently the instructor only saw results from Google searches, whereas journal articles andpatent descriptions might have been more helpful.
