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 report1, 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. (See Jesiek, Zhu, Woo, Hompson, &
residents were asked to reduce the amount of bathroom water used. The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed

what theseexperiences are or should be, and we don’t know how to require them of all students.Approaches to the Integration of Engineering and Liberal ArtsTeaching Other Ways of Knowing: Fostering FamiliarityAccording to historian of technology Bruce Seely (1999), “[p]erhaps the most constantfeature of American engineering education has been the demand for change.” Thisdemand often grows from introspective reports such as that by Grinter (1955), or theNational Academy of Engineering’s Engineer of 2020 (NAE, 2004). 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).
