reports simply called for even more modernengineers.Figure 1: A visual depiction of new competencies needed by engineers upon review of theGrinter Report (1995) and the Vision of the Engineer of 2020 Reports (2004 and 2005).Even from an accreditation perspective, in 1997, ABET released Engineering Criteria 2000which made it clear that engineering education needed to include these global, societal,economic, and environmental mindsets in future engineers [4]. The incorporation of what arecommonly termed “soft skills” in engineering curriculum, including teamwork, communication,ethics, and social consciousness, were soon considered a necessity. Engineering coursework hadalready garnered a reputation as being content-heavy, so innovative and unique
Paper ID #33454Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Care in Chemical EngineeringMrs. Kristen Ferris, University of New Mexico Kristen Ferris is a student in the Organization, Information, and Learning Sciences program at the Uni- versity of New Mexico. Her research interests include faculty mindset change, change management, and organizational citizenship behavior. Much of her research is part of a National Science Foundation grant at UNM where the chemical and biological engineering department is redesigning curriculum to support diverse student retention and graduation. She intends to further her knowledge in the
complex systems has the potential to originate a transdisciplinarytheory and to merge chemistry with other disciplines. In addition, Gentili concluded thatinterdisciplinary courses on complex systems can help new generations facing 21st centurychallenges to mold interdisciplinary mindsets with enhanced aptitudes to observe, analyze, judgeand summarize.The importance of the aforementioned aptitudes has also been recognized by Matthews et al.,who identified the Paul-Elder model of critical thinking as the ideal pedagogical framework incoursework designed to help graduate students comprehend and act on the literature, as well asdevelop independence of thought, writing skills, and speaking skills. Indeed, these authors havedescribed coursework

private firms and engineers who are entrepreneurial and trying to create new things. I don't think we can, but this is getting to something bigger, but the crisis with climate change is too big for us to wait for politicians to lead the charge, and engineers are a big part of the private industry that can put us on the right path. That was my problem with that statement. (00:46:23)Dakota responded that, “you don’t hire an engineer to pass a law, you hire an engineer toaccomplish a task, and it’s not the engineer’s responsibility to decide if it’s right or wrong, theywere hired to do a job” (00:47:06). Cleopatra replied, “…for each individual engineer as ahuman being with a life's work to think about, what do you want to
