When pushed for an understanding of whether this career interestinvolved engineering or a technology degree, the student did not offer a clear path but describedthe influence of his father (who was an state employee who “works on electronics and radios”): I’ll be shipping out this summer for basic training. And ah, I want to go into radios and electronics. I’ve been around the military my entire life. I’ve moved around, ah, every three years for the last 18 years, and ah, I’m just kind of used to moving around, bouncing around. I’ve been around military bases my whole life so it’s nothing

Flow because they do not introduce the distraction of technology when it is notdirectly related to or in support of student learning.Based on the outcomes from our focus groups, we have several recommendations for otherswishing to use ESM in engineering classrooms. First, do not discount pen/pencil and papermethods. Students might actually prefer such approaches but it will depend on the exact contextof the study. Second, although quantitative-type questions facilitate compilation and analysis ofdata, be sure to leave adequate space for free responses as this was important to focus groupparticipants. However, we recognize that implementation of the pen/pencil and paper method inreal-time could be a complex task even though it is low technology

appropriate due to the advancedmathematics and science requirements for the courses. However, the argument of this paper isthat the current topical coverage of an engineering economics course satisfies the requirementsfor social and/or behavioral sciences recognition because it provides necessary skills inquantitative and financial literacy with respect to decision making. This argument follows thepatterns and urgencies for increasing K-12 standards in mathematics in support of a thrivingfuture science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.Other key arguments of note: Economic and social progress is an outcome of engineering change and application. It is estimated that 75-88% of all wealth creation is attributed to the
curriculum that rapidly respond to industryrequirements while in the same time adhering to the basic needs of traditional engineering.Today, the design, manufacture, and effectiveness of modern road transportation require theintegrated application of concepts in disciplines ranging from engineering and informationtechnology to business and behavioral sciences. The challenges and opportunities arise fromadvances in enabling technologies amid the myriad of often conflicting and ever-changingpublic regulations and policies. The rate of market change has dramatically increasedchallenging product development speed and innovation cycles. Furthermore, it isincreasingly difficult to forecast and integrate future product requirements into new productsand

Their findings were that students who had taken more Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) or health sciences courses posted lower end of yearethical growth. This might be caused by a lack of emphasis on ethical considerations in STEMand health sciences courses. The study concluded that students’ ethical growth was highest whenthey participated in activities that expose them to multiple viewpoints and different perspectivesof ethical issues.Trice measured engineering students’ pre- and post-ethics course ethical levels and found thatethics education, especially one that is geared for
