that sparks passionate conversations within the academic community. The basic issueslie in assessing the information content of data, their interpretation in terms of actions and thederivation of a quantitative model to connect it all. The complexity of the problem increasesimmensely when one is confronted with (large) statistical variations between action and resultsand the loss of sacred information about the individual when aggregating the data. When theassociated actions reflect on the student’s future career, as is the typical teacher grading problem,the translation of the student knowledge and performance into a single grade presents a modelingas well as an ethical challenge. On the other hand, when the action is to adjust the curriculum

Page 22.1508.5the study had to do with engineering ethics and the grounding of engineering within its broadersocial and cultural contexts. Social constructivists (for example, Bijker, Hughes, & Pinch15) notethat engineering activity and outcomes are fundamentally a function of social values, needs, andpriorities. Thus, while ideas such as ethics, values, and social norms are not considered to beengineering concepts, they can serve as essential contexts within which engineering ideas andconcepts take on meaning. Engineering design does not occur within a vacuum. Designoutcomes are a direct reflection of the context within which they were developed. Finally, considerable discussion centered on the viability of an engineering ontology

To develop the course sequence, the authors worked closely with faculty members whoare part of a burgeoning entrepreneurship program within the COB. Course content that isspecific to global sustainable enterprises was developed in consultation with faculty memberswho were actively involved in the GSSE program and in the entrepreneurship certificate programfor undergraduate students [11]. Specifically, in its first offering, course content for the STESEcourse was culled and/or course syllabi were shared from the following existing courses withinthe COB, which span from the 200 to the 600 level:  Social, Ethical, and Regulatory Issues in Business

This study indicated that there were mild correla-tions between performance and self-assessment (enough to warrant further study).The present study looks to see if comparing students’ self-assessments to performance acrossmultiple problems shows any more correlation than was found in the one question to oneproblem work of Sarin and Headley.1 The analysis is based upon data collected in the

That is, it is important to create linksbetween non-technical courses and the engineering thought process in order for the student tounderstand how non-technical topics (economics, entrepreneurship, business modeling, ethics,political science, psychology, and global competitiveness) affect an engineer’s job. For example,an engineer can use a basic knowledge of psychology to learn how to empathize with the end userof a product. This in turn will help the engineer become more creative by understanding how hisdesign is perceived by other people. The downside is that the introduction of non-technicalcourses is constrained by credit hours. If a department wishes to pursue this option, it must decidewhat portions of its current

The report, Engineeringin K-12 Education, recently released by the National Academy of Engineering and NationalResearch Council6 provided a very insightful view of engineering education in K-12. The reportclaimed three principles for K-12 engineering education. First, it believed K-12 engineeringeducation should emphasize engineering design. Second, K-12 engineering should incorporateimportant science, mathematics, and technology concepts and skills. Finally, K-12 engineeringshould align with 1) systems thinking, 2) creativity, 3) optimism, 4) collaboration, 5)communication, and 6) attention to ethical considerations to promote engineering “habits of mind”(pp. 4-6).
