These attributes have been widely publicized and include not only the ability toapply knowledge of the sciences, conduct experiments and design systems and components butto also function in multidisciplinary teams, understand the importance of lifelong learning andunderstand their professional and ethical responsibility.

competitive environment has perhaps become unpredictable to the pointthat challenges the even well run organizations 17. No longer do engineers work independently,and employers are looking for more quality-minded and customer-oriented work teams. Mostresearch shows that when the learner is actively involved in acquiring knowledge, theacquisition occurs much more rapidly and is more effectively retained. Therefore, howseriously should educators take the training of social, ethical, human values, andcommunication skills? Perhaps one answer would be the inclusion of cultural diversity that isbrought into the classroom by international students.Cultural diversity is the beginning of prosperity in society. It is the notion that differences canprovide for

Fewaspirations will be realized without an adequate work ethic. There is an old Indian saying that inorder to dig a well, you must at least dig in one place for a while. Enough said? But even here, alittle reflection is useful. If the well is being dug in a quick sand area, an obvious source ofwater, it first becomes necessary to shore up the sides of the well. Simply digging in one placefor a long time would be fruitless.Gellerman 2 concludes that, “ . . . There is an underlying order to human behavior on the job.People do constantly seek to serve their

I wanted the course to challenge the simplistic view that history is merelya straightforward accounting of events and dates, and I also wanted to encourage analysis.I started, as previously noted, with Arnold Pacey’s broad definition of technology. Thisdefinition holds that technology is not merely technique (knowledge, skill, tools, machines,chemicals, liveware, etc.), but also includes cultural aspects (goals, values and ethical codes,ideas about progress, awareness and creativity, etc.) and organizational aspects (economic andindustrial activity, professional activity

. Engineers use a calculator more than they write. Writing and communication are important skills for engineers. Engineers spend a lot more time communicating with technical people than with non- technical people. Every engineering problem has a right answer and a lot of wrong ones. I believe I will need to use my imagination to solve important problems and be successful in the field of engineering. It is important for an engineer to be able to speak before a group. An engineer needs to take into account a lot of non-technical concerns -- such as fashions, economics, ethics, and politics -- in solving technical problems.Financial Incentive Engineers are well paid.Family Influences My parents want me to study

In a large class it is possible to have studentsbreak out into small groups and have group discussion in an Annex (temporary room).

I thought this class was great. Most of the things you guys did were good, but other people tell me that it’s hard, the book should be incorporated more, we need weekly homework, and that you should lecture for fifty straight minutes instead of having group work. This may help some people learn more, but others may learn better from the present method. • Should it be this easy? Since I’ve never been exposed to this stuff before, I wouldn’t think so.
