Some challenges includeacceptance of these methods as demonstration of competence and preparedness for a rigorousengineering program. While we have not experienced this resistance to date, the population sizehas been small. As it continues to grow, we expect there to be healthy debate about thisapproach.i President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Engage to excel: producing one million additionalcollege graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Executive Office of thePresident of the United States, 2012

synthesis of knowledge. This has occurred not only within science, but betweenscience and technology and between science and the humanities. The forward progress ofsystemology in the study of large-scale complex systems requires a synthesis of science and thehumanities in addition to a synthesis of science and technology.When synthesizing human-made systems, unintended effects can be minimized and the naturalsystem can sometimes be improved by engineering the larger human-modified system instead ofengineering only the human-made. If system evaluation is applied beyond the human-made, thenthe boundary of the target system (meant to include both natural and human-made systems) shouldbe adopted as the boundary of the human-modified domain.Systems

Schrader became Chancellor of Missouri University of Science and Technology, formerly the University of Missouri - Rolla, in 2012. Prior to her current leadership position she served as Associate Vice President for Strategic Research Initiatives and as Dean of the College of Engineering at Boise State University. Dr. Schrader has an extensive record of publications and sponsored research in the systems, control and STEM education fields. She received the 2005 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and
Engineering Initiative Act in an attempt toincrease the number of engineering graduates statewide, thereby increasing the number ofengineering graduates at Kansas State University (K-State) by 60% over a ten-year period2. Inaddition, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) developed areport that calls for “one million additional college graduates with bachelor or associate degreesin [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] STEM fields”3. However, according tothe National Research Council, many undergraduate engineering programs fail to attract andretain students in engineering4. Ohland et al. found that 93% of engineering students enrolled inengineering courses after eight semesters had declared themselves
ofparticipation from members of the Civil, Engineering Management, Engineering Technology,and Industrial Engineering groups. The survey questions explored faculty perceptions ofengineering leadership and their perceived role of engineering leadership content in engineeringand engineering technology programs. The broader goal of this survey was to understand whatengineering educators identify as important topics in the concept of Engineering Leadership andtheir overall impression of the importance of Engineering Leadership in undergraduatecurricula.Data and FindingsBoth data collection methods collected demographic information from over 100 participants.

or more topics. The remainder failed to supply any names. Thebroadest response was an individual who provided names for 10 topics. The results indicated thatperhaps two general open-ended questions might be more effective: who in your programteaches engineering students about ethics (such as codes, ethical theories, etc.); who in yourprogram teaches students about the societal impacts of technology (macroethical issues such assustainability, bioethics, environmental impacts, safety, poverty, etc.). The “such as” lists can beadjusted. But this style would likely be less intimidating and just as effective.The second question asked if there were co-curricular settings where engineering students learnabout ethics, listing 7 options (including
molecular diagnostics, polymer science and engineering, along with advanced manufacturing technologies. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Flipped Laboratories in Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringAbstractImportant learning objectives for experiential, or hands-on, courses include (1) development ofskills pertaining to statistical experimental design and analysis of data, (2) utilization of standardoperating procedures (SOPs), and (3) understanding and employment of laboratory safetyprocedures. As the complexity of laboratory equipment increases, so does the length of writtenSOPs and safety considerations. Furthermore, students are often asked to follow these writtenstandardized documents
the first step, an undergraduate independent study course covering core SE conceptsand competencies applied to capstone projects was offered in the first quarter of 2014 (12students enrolled). Nearly all of the students who participated in the initial experimentaloffering of the core SE concepts and competency class were starting their fourth year capstoneproject. A few, however, were working on their third year society/technology project. Theprojects ranged from an autonomous robot development capstone to various computer/electricalengineering capstone projects, and one third year IQP focused on redeveloping a first yearengineering projects based mechanical engineering design course.

Although the equation is a readily know “I-PAT” equation, humanimpact (I) on the environment equals the product of Population, Affluence, and Technology(PAT), where the impact is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the equation is potentially a new,yet easy to interpret concept for the engineering students.4 Asking where the anthropogeniccarbon dioxide comes from in the form of a series of leading questions can generally form theKaya Identity Equation as represented below.5 $!"# !"#$%&

Topics are identified from science, mathematics, and technology that haveinteresting engineering applications, and then lessons are constructed to help students learnmathematics and science in the context of engineering design. Our purpose is to introduce pre-college students to engineering and show them what engineers do. We also hope to convey thefun and excitement of engineering and
