technical trades exploit physicallaws of the universe, which is in his mind far easier than developing new physical laws orinterpretations of physical laws. The interpretation of why the modern engineer is viewed the way he is has beendiscussed in multiple venues, but the work of Bix takes a philosophical approach. He argues thatduring and after World War Two, the genesis of the engineer as product became paramount. Oneway he supports this is through the development of the modern engineering pathway – aprecursor to the often discussed pipeline problem in today’s engineering colleges. Colleges anduniversities shortened the length of their degrees, identified shortages in local defense industriesand filled them, and provided specialized

can see this worked out in Kallenberg’s [22] approach tothe teaching of ethics to engineering students, and we can also see that by substation of theengineering examples it is a more general application of design as knowledge. As both Kallenburgand Koen point out in any area of thought and practice that is ‘messy’ heuristics are valuable.Exercise 3. Student activity in relation to teaching decision making and its outcomesI had neither of these things in mind when I asked my students to design and implement a lesson toevaluate the merits of Wales and Stager’s design/problem solving heuristic for teaching decisionmaking. This heuristic was widely discussed by engineering educators in the nineteen seventies (Eckand Wilhelm, 1979 [23]; Heywood[24

each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Engineers promote clients’ socially responsible self-determination. Engineers seek to enhance clients’ capacity and opportunity to change and to address their own needs. Engineers are cognizant of their dual responsibility to clients and to the broader society. They seek to resolve conflicts between clients’ interests and the broader society’s interests in a socially responsible Page 26.322.11 manner consistent with the values, ethical principles, and ethical standards of the profession. ● Value

them to engage confidently.The question is how can this reflective thinking be used in the engineering classes? Thetechnological literacy classes do not delve deeply into many concepts yet students seemed tohave better connectivity between major concepts. They also demonstrated a special passion tofollow up their learning and take actions based on advancing their knowledge in their researchand creating their projects in upper level classes. This is interesting, in particular when onethinks about how they clearly did not like the subject to begin with. With all this in mind, wedecided to see how we could bring the same concepts and use of reflective thinking into theengineering classes. There were challenges, but the effort showed successful

The emphasis is on the component as the element offunction used by the engineer to create systems. Around this central idea supporting informationis developed.
