Designing and validating a Model for Integration of Professional Ethics Components with Technical Competencies for Industrial Mechanics Branch

The emerging world of work requires the acquisition of a set of non-technical competencies with technical competencies in a career for sustainable employment. This paper aims at designing and validating a model for integrating the ethical components with technical competencies in curriculum based on competency in industrial mechanics’ branch.

The research approach is based on the concept and nature of the research, "mixed or combined," and its purpose is applied. The Statistical Society in the design section of the pattern was composed of curriculum experts, professional ethics experts, and teachers and experts in the occupation, and the sample was chosen purposefully and in the accreditation department, The statistical sample of 28 curriculum experts, were randomly selected. The data in the design section be used documents analysis and Delphi methods, and in the validation section, data from the questionnaire were analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage and compaction percentage.

A three-dimensional model was developed to integrate the components of professional ethics into in curriculum based on competency in industrial mechanics. From the experts' point of view, the proposed model was consistent and valid with the components related to the integration of professional ethics components in the curriculum based on competency in the industrial mechanics’ branch.

The process of integrating technical competencies with the components of professional ethics at all levels of the curriculum based on competency in industrial mechanics branch was obtained. The results of this research can be used in the design of curriculum based on competency in industrial mechanics branch and other technical and professional disciplines
