Online Ethics Center: Designing Engineers: Integration of Engineering "Professional Responsibility" in the Capstone Design Experience The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science Designing Engineers: Integration of Engineering "Professional Responsibility" in the Capstone Design Experience by Steven P. Nichols, P.E., Ph.D., J.D. Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas at Austin Presented at The International Conference on Ethics in Engineering & Computational Sciences March 21-24, 1999 Cleveland, Ohio Steven P. Nichols, 1999 Presented at the OEC International Conference on Ethics in Engineering and Computer Science, March 1999 Abstract I. Introduction: Curriculum Development vs. ABET Criteria II. The Capstone Design Experience in Mechanical Engineering at UT-Austin III. The Approach Toward Professional Responsibility IV. Integrate topics of Professional Responsibility Into the Student's Current Life V. Design Projects: Professional Responsibility as Part of the Design Process VI. Concluding Remarks Abstract ABET 2000 Criteria encourages development of proficiency in engineering professional responsibility in the undergraduate curriculum. This paper discusses the use of industrial sponsored capstone design projects to encourage active discussion of engineering professional responsibility that naturally occurs in engineering design. The paper will also discuss student participation in designing responses and approaches to issues such as engineering ethics. The paper will include specific examples of topics addressed by students and the approaches developed (by students) in addressing these issues. Back To Top I. Introduction: Curriculum Development vs. ABET Criteria This paper examines an approach to integrating topics of professional responsibility into a capstone design sequence. The paper uses as an example the capstone design sequence required for students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin).
