Ideological Difference

Most engineering colleges in India have integrated ethics courses into their curriculum for the reason that students may develop an ethical ability to engage in sound decision making. However, there are differences noticed in defining the concept of “ethics” by the engineering students and the teachers who teach them ethics. Often, it is observed that students' positions with regard to ethics courses are egoistic pragmatism while the teachers follow idealistic pragmatism. This ideological difference makes teaching ethics to engineering students a difficult task and thus undermines the effectiveness of the ethics course. The major objective of this chapter therefore is to examine the extent to which the “gap” can be merged and make the students more ethically responsible. It also helps to achieve more job satisfaction for teachers. Finally, the chapter discusses some suggestions to make engineering students more ethically sensible.

Modern Form

The article contains the aspects used to improve the quality of education for engineering students specialties. There is necessity of using a modern form of lecturing with the use of slides, videos, interactive whiteboards. It is noticed based on the results of the conducted polling of students and professors of the technical University. Such form of lectures are lectures with presentations. There is variety of forms of presentation of lecture material in their development from 60 – 70 years of the twentieth century to the present day considered in the article, the assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each of them is also given. The features of lectures-presentations in accordance with the originality of different courses and specializations of students (bachelor, specialist, master) for technical University are revealed. Possibilities and advantages of lectures-presentations for students of engineering specialties are estimated.

In Denmark, the maritime engineering competences requested by the industry have changed in the past one to two decades. The typical naval architects do no longer find them selves working in the ship-building industry but rather in the industry of ship operators, consultancies, class societies, etc. This means that universities educating maritime engineers need to reflect the changes in the curricula for their maritime engineering students. Topics and issues regarding this matter have recently been addressed in a survey made in the Danish maritime industry. The survey concludes that the demand for maritime engineers in the industry is considerably larger than the output from the technical universities. Moreover, it sets forth a series of recommendations to the industry as well as to the universities to facilitate meeting the demand for maritime engineers in Denmark in the future. The recommendations are outlined together with work commenced at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) to update the curricula for DTU’s maritime engineering students. Thus, DTU offers an education reflecting a large share of the recommendations in the curricula.

Abstract This paper describes a new computer application known as the Ethics Toolkit that is useful in enabling engineering students to learn about ethical problem solving. The application runs in a Windows environment and implements five different approaches to ethical problem solving found in the literature. Although the application does not provide absolute answers to ethical problems, it does facilitate the automation, organization and prioritization of solution possibilities.

Learning Principles

The article deals with the e-learning environment at T.F. Gorbachev State Technical University. The authors describe their experience of English teaching in e-learning environment at non-linguistic university. The reason of e-learning integration into the engineering students teaching is to increase the efficiency and quality of education for bachelor, master and postgraduate degree students. English teaching and students’ independent work are based on blended learning principals because this model helps to achieve the required level of foreign language skills and learning quality. The method of English teaching in e-learning environment consists of three stages. The first stage is incorporation of blended learning principles and structure development of an e-course for technical English teaching; the second stage is the experimental model of the e-course design and its integration into educational process; and the third stage is development of principles to increase students’ motivation and forming their self-education skills. The paper gives the results of the experiment carried out at the foreign languages department of T.F. Gorbachev Kuzbass State Technical University since 2014 to 2019 academic years.
