developments in the study of philosophy, engineering and engineering educationThe last decade has been marked by an increasing interest among engineers and engineeringeducators in the philosophy of engineering education. In 2003 there were two major publicationsconcerned with this matter. First, Billy Koen‟s “Discussion of the Method: Conducting theEngineer‟s Approach to Problem Solving” rooted in the use of heuristics that he claimed to beuniversal [1]. Second, Louis Bucciarelli explored the connections between philosophy andengineering especially engineering design, in a book with the formidable title of “EngineeringPhilosophy” [2]. A year later, Goldman argued the case for a philosophy of engineering asopposed to a philosophy of science [3]. A

problematic. Since most people domake a living by working, does this mean that everyone is a professional? And if everyone is aprofessional, then why bother to use the term? Seeing everyone as a professional actually has theeffect of demeaning the true professional, who has sacrificed considerable time and money toacquire expertise in a field that s/he has made a lifelong commitment to.Professionalism according to the LiteratureThe literature defining professionalism is rich, varied, and contradictory, constituting a body ofknowledge in itself. A brief tour of selected books and articles reveals a definition ofprofessionalism that counters the popular notion, one that for many students is foreign territory.While sociologist E. C. Hughes (1958) argues

AC 2012-3445: CHANGING ENGINEERING ETHICS EDUCATION: UN-DERSTANDING ILL-STRUCTURED PROBLEMS THROUGH ARGUMENTVISUALIZATION IN COLLABORATIVE LEARNINGProf. Michael H.G. Hoffmann, Georgia Institute as Technology Michael H.G. Hoffmann’s research focuses on the question of how creativity, cognitive change, and learn- ing can be stimulated by constructing diagrammatic representations, and by experimenting with those representations. This idea has first been developed by Charles S. Peirce in his concept of ”diagrammatic reasoning.” Since 2004, he developed ”Logical Argument Mapping (LAM),” a method and diagrammatic system of representation that is supposed to stimulate critical thinking. LAM has been implemented in the
