, citing thecriticisms of employers of engineering graduates who lacked communication skills, businessacumen, and “an understanding of men.” [sic]1Sir Eric Ashy writes in 1959 that he sees a higher purpose to a humanistic education, not just intaking specific courses, but in making sense of the technology the engineer employs in itswholeness, what he calls the essence of “technological humanism.”2Samuel Florman in 1968 provides five reasons for studying the liberal arts in the introductorychapter “The Civilized Engineer” of his book Engineering and the Liberal Arts. Three of thereasons are for the personal benefit for the engineer, including an appreciation of beauty,enhancing the imagination, and the development of leadership characteristics. Two

We conclude with a discussion motivating social justice as a value that allengineers can adopt, and consider how social justice might be practically operationalized inengineering ethics.To What Does the Profession of Engineering Aspire?Examinations of the social good to which the engineering profession aspires have given rise tonumerous compelling critiques. Scholars from different disciplines including engineering,philosophy and ethics, and science and technology studies have approached the issue fromdiverse angles, but in the end they tend to home in on the same general question: if the socialgood to which

on empirical evidence to gain an understanding of how and whythe designed learning works. Thus, our ultimate goal is to utilize the DBR process to developtheories that can be translated into classroom practices to enhance students’ understanding ofscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects while simultaneously inspiringthem to pursue STEM careers. We employ DBR constructs, in the context of a robotics-basedinstructional framework, to support both student and teacher learning in several ways. The use ofrobotics serves to help stimulate an interest in STEM learning for students. In addition, roboticscan help break the silos of the underlying disciplines of STEM to help realize the vision ofintegrating these disciplines. Such

Lifelong learning is the continuous building ofskills and knowledge throughout the life of an individual [5] and is particularly important inprofessions such as engineering that experience continual change in response to rapiddevelopments in technology and regulations. Lifelong learning involves individualstranscending narrow domains of expertise by talking to others and sharing insights [6]. Forstudents to develop these skills, they must be able to realize when a problem or task falls outsideof their current expertise, actively seek knowledge from others, and understand how to obtaininformation from knowledgeable peers and mentors.Organizations benefit when employees feel
