Some were designed to assess understanding of basicengineering and technology content (such as “What is Engineering?”), while others have focusedon measuring STEM learning resulting from student interaction with specific EiE units. Page 15.199.2Theoretical FrameworkThe main goal of the EiE curriculum is to help children to learn engineering and technology—not merely facts from and about these fields of study, but practices, habits of mind, and ways oflooking at the world through disciplinary lenses. At the dawn of the twentieth century, JohnDewey 1 advocated that progressive education should provide

wide-ranginginterests outside of formal education. But taken together were they liberally educated? 19What is clear is that the provision of additional subjects whether “tool” or “fringe” is noguarantee of liberal education unless instruction and content are designed with the goalsof liberal education in mind. If those goals are taken from such authorities as Arnold,Newman and Pattison then that means that there is a “cultivation of the intellect”, and afocus on the person rather than engineering. The value to engineering follows: it is not aliberal education if it does not create the space for reflective thought through which aperson can construct and reconstruct their identity.

client.Ultimately, students will realize at the end of this course that to be an engineering designer onecan not purely be an engineer; they require a creative mindset, the ability to work in a team, theability to think analytically and remain open-minded, an understanding of experiment design andrisk mitigation, and experience with costing. Engineering design is a multidisciplinary process.The identified process is a result of this instructor’s ongoing industrial involvement and wealthof experience in both engineering and business as a design engineer as well as a financialengineer. It is his experience in these areas that has resulted in a Faculty position involving acombination of the two. He also believes in the importance of design and economics

was not TV. This was real. I felt grateful for when and where I was born. I have only known freedom, never known hunger, and always slept in a clean bed. But that was too often overshadowed by the realization of my remaining obligation to others less fortunate, especially the children of this world. Moreover, these years at Bell further solidified in my mind the importance of gaining an international perspective for the field of engineering. . . . It was then I experienced a real awareness that the science and engineering workforce needed to be regarded as more than a national resource. I now emphatically feel that global issues can only be solved by using global intellectual resources, and that the interdependency of
