For example, Architectural Engineering Technology program outcomes state that “In addition, graduates of the baccalaureate program will, to the extent required to meet Program Educational Objectives: d. apply principles of construction law and ethics in architectural practice.” NYSETA Fall 2013 Conference

  18. Examples for Discussion “A recent graduate of an architecture school wanted to work for a well-known architect whose work she admired. She sent in her resume and a few samples of her work, and the architect’s assistant called her to come in for an interview, during which she was offered a position in the firm without pay”. NYSETA Fall 2013 Conference

  19. Examples for Discussion “When she hesitated, the assistant said that many recent graduates like her wanted to work there and that if she did not take the offer, plenty of others would. She was not independently wealthy and would have to borrow money or take a second job to meet her expenses, but she wondered if the experience working for the architect would be worth the price”. NYSETA Fall 2013 Conference

  25. Conclusion The ethics survey has proven to be an effective tool in fostering classroom discussion on specific topics related to the study of applied ethics in professional practice. NYSETA Fall 2013 Conference

  26. Conclusion The survey is also used to demonstrate student understanding of professional ethics in meeting associated course student learning outcomes. The evaluation of these outcomes can then be tied back to program objectives and used for the purposes of both course and program assessment which effectively closes the loop.
