Industries,governmental agencies, Banks, commercial sector and even civil social groups need engineersprepared in order to solve complex problems and to develop innovative solutions. Page 22.1442.5Why engineers? Because engineers are prepared to apply the principles of science andmathematics to develop solutions to solve problems. Engineers are naturally driven by results asa characteristic of their mind added by the formation. They work using scientific discoveries topropose applications that meet the needs.

thesedemonstrations are clearly beneficial, as they serve to both break the monotony of an endlessstream of theory and equations, and to tie symbols to real-world phenomena, solidifying theirmeaning in the minds of pupils.5Hands-on laboratory work is highly regarded as a method for reinforcing learning by exposing Page 22.1648.2students to real-world applications and interactions. This is particularly important in theengineering disciplines, as there is a great deal of engineering culture that surrounds theoreticalphenomena under study (e.g. resistor color codes, the use of compilers and tools, etc.).

Administrators of these programs should becognizant of the job security concerns of their faculty should engineering and technologyprograms be eliminated. Additional study needs to be done of the jobs outlook in specificengineering and technology fields to provide data that will support sound decision making

The average pre-class N2 score was 40±13, which correlated very wellwith the N2 scores for first year college students. After taking the course, a N2 score of 51±11was measured, indicating significant improvement in their moral reasoning ability as defined bythe DIT2 test.While 19 students was a reasonable number for the first time this course was taught, PurdueUniversity’s engineering enrollment per class is approximately 1600 students.

It was interesting to find that most textbooks avoided usingthem while job sites such as monster.com used them widely.

’ objectives or users’ needs while satisfying a specified set of constraints. This definition promotes engineering design as a thoughtful process that depends on the systematic, intelligent generation of design concepts and the specifications that make it possible to realize these concepts. Design problems reflect the fact that the designer has a client (or customer) who, in turn, has in mind a set of users (or customers) for whose benefit the designed artifact is being developed. The design process is itself a complex cognitive process.

But I don’t know if I can really say I dislike the work because it wouldn’t be as rewarding if there wasn’t that much work involved (Persister, Structured Interview 1). For this student, the outcomes of taking engineering courses was rewarding partly because of the hard work that he put into them. Another persisting student discussed her learning in her engineering classes: It'd be nice to take the other classes and know more. But I don't mind taking the engineering classes because I feel like I'm also learning in those. And so it’s not really too big a trade off for me.
