| Abstract | The College of Engineering of the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM) adopted an ethics across the curriculum (EAC) strategy in 2005. EAC is based on the combination of faculty development workshops, a stand-alone course in ethics, and ethics learning modules integrated at various levels of the engineering curriculum. In 2006 the EAC strategy was expanded to include social and global issues in engineering. A Coordinator for Social, Ethical and Global Issues (SEGI) in Engineering was appointed in the College of Engineering to coordinate and support activities related to these areas at all engineering departments. Such a position is valuable in demonstrating the commitment to educating integral engineers that are both technically capable and socially responsible. This SEGI work presents a more integrated curriculum to students through activities that link liberal arts courses and topics to engineering. The position also serves as a liaison with other Colleges in these matters, and supports the achievement of eight of the learning outcomes from ABETpsilas criterion 3. This paper describes the various activities of the coordination of the SEGI work, and its relationship to the general education component of engineering curricula. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
