Materials obstacles are notunique to early career engineers—they can happen to anyone. One of the important insights ofresearch in Science and Technology Studies, particularly in the work of Latour and Callon(Callon 1984, Johnson [Latour] 1988), was to show how material objects participate in scientificknowledge creation or social life, often through resisting or redirecting human effort. Thisinsight laid the groundwork for a body of work on how the material world plays an importantrole in social and scientific

Just after the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1955, theEngineers’ Council for Professional Development commissioned a study to investigate howengineering education could keep pace with rapid developments in science and technology. Theresult of this study was the influential Grinter report​1​, among whose recommendations includedan emphasis on the importance of integrating liberal arts into engineering education. While thereport argued for balance between the technical and liberal arts, few current

ItIntroductionThe world’s increasingly global economy has created a steadily growing market for engineerswho can work in a globalized environment (Jesiek & Beddoes, 2010). The need for suchengineers has increased even more rapidly in developing nations where population growthoutpaces technological solutions. To be competitive both at home and abroad, Americanengineers must learn how to interact productively with people from a range of cultures andcustoms (Ball, Zaugg, Davies, Tateishi, Parkingson, Gensen, & Magleby, 2012). Americaneducation must produce global engineers.Unfortunately, there is no standard definition of global engineer. A recent literature reviewreveals the extensive debate about this term.

Each call for reform“has sought to enlarge the core identity of the engineer from a technician skilled atcalculation and fabrication to a professional member of the wider culture” (Cohen,Rossmann, and Sanford Bernhardt, 2014).

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) codified their ethics in 1912and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and American Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASME) soon followed in 19143,4. These codes defined the relationship of engineers tosociety, but also to their clients and employers who were to receive an engineer’s deference andgratitude. These codes have continued to evolve to an extent, but represent a minimum standardwhich engineers must achieve and have always been wrapped up in concerns of the nation andcorporations5.Engineering education in the U.S. has largely paralleled the goals of the nation.

This focus has generated a diverse number ofconcepts that describe users and the “user-technology nexus” (Oudshoorn & Pinch 2003:2).

Choice is a powerfulinstrument, allowing students with these aspirations to select courses that meet their goals.Increasingly, institutions have a range of minors and certificates available for students at theinterface between society and technology. This approach, however, may allow students withvirtually no interest or awareness of societal context to avoid becoming educated on these issues.The proposed changes in the ABET EAC accreditation requirements appear to lower theminimum bar for engineering educational outcomes in this regard.35-36 Increasing the socialscience and humanities (SSH) requirements for students may help achieve these aims.

The lesson plan evolved over a period of 10 semesters. I document the process of thatevolution and discuss how students’ responses to activity prompts influenced that evolution.IntroductionWith few exceptions, ethics education within STEM disciplines has mostly remained separatefrom courses that provide instruction in what is perceived as technical knowledge (Leydens &Lucena, 2016). This paradigm tacitly reinforces that science, engineering, and technology

Doing so would speed up implementation ofprojects and reduce overall research-related expenses. Discovering the linkages among thesevarious frameworks and systems could aid in discovering unique pathways to complex problemsthat would go otherwise unnoticed. Reverse-engineering of the brain, for instance, could greatlyreduce the cost of computational power by greatly enhancing processing speeds of computersystems.
