tied her identity to problem solving when she said, I solve problems, and so that's one way I identify myself as an engineer. First, [….] what are the possible ways of solving the problem? I think that I have an understanding of the way a lot of different things work, and how they interact with each other. I have a big picture view, that's one thing about engineering, is having the whole in mind, even as you work on just the part. That's the second way I think I'd identify myself as an engineer. I'm fearless, I feel like I can solve any problem, or even if I can't solve it, I can understand what I don't understand.

words, “carefully consider,” imply that the engineer is debating in his mind whetherhe wants to consider safety, health, and welfare before he makes a decision. If an engineer holdsthe safety, health, and welfare of the public as paramount then he doesn’t need to “carefullyconsider” this. It is questions like this one that likely cause students with the correct way ofthinking about professional ethics to still mark a test question incorrectly.It also raised the question that students with limited experience working in a professionalenvironment may not have the background to fully understand the different aspects of how ethicsinteracts with day-to-day work activities.It is also suspected that asking instructors to include ethics topics in

The six participating teachers video-recorded their EiE lessons using an iPad.The videos (n=31) averaged 34 minutes in length and captured the implementation ofEiE curriculum. We chose to focus on the EiE lessons as data because they weretaught after the science units per the materials arrangement through the district. It wasour hope that we would capture teachers incorporating their previously taught sciencecontent into the engineering units.

country’s ability to develop competitive quantitiesof engineers, equipped to tackle the complex challenges of the future, has come under question.These challenges are wicked and unknown and will force engineers to use collaborate and usetechnical skills to solve social problems. With this in mind, the National Academies ofEngineering launched the Engineer of 2020 project and charged its Committee on EngineeringEducation to develop a vision for engineering in 2020 and beyond. The Engineer of 2020 will becharacterized by 10 attributes.
