Speaking to the “misalignment between engineeringeducation and practice” the author makes clear that a “Technical problem-solving model cannotexplain practice” and that engineers can only change the world “. . . if they also deliver theartefacts represented by their problem solutions and designs.”Engineering education urgently needs to revisit how Science, Engineering and Technology areordered and especially how practicing engineers are essential to R&D programs. Practitionersare empowered with an acute awareness of what is commercially practical as to materials,manufacturing processes, and how to employ what is available to be able to create what wasunavailable

Opening questions include “where do you use electricity in your life?” and“what are some ways that your life would change without electricity?” Inquiry on the art botsallows for a deeper understanding on how electricity travels and how off-set motors function. Anempathetic connection is focused on boy who had developed acute flaccid myelitis and needsassistance with coloring projects [20]. Engineering of the art bot then led to students naming anddecorating their bots while keeping their stakeholder in mind. Returning the shared conversationto the boy allowed for learners to reconsider their purpose. Play included in the
knowledge/skills in pursuit ofaddressing a problem/need is a fundamentally ethical act. It is ethics first and engineeringsecond. Ethics is not an afterthought, but neither is engineering. Ethics is found in the richexperiences of relating to ourselves and to others. In this framing, ethics is about living and, inliving, responding with care and an inquiring mind to the exigencies born from relationality.Engineering is one mode of responding to life lived in a world of interaction. Through a livedethics, we (re)fashion ourselves, others, and the world in which we dwell. Given that much of myprofessional focus is directed at education, this leads me to a difficult question: if one desired todo so, how should this be taught to budding engineers

The NAE includes creativity as one of six “engineeringhabits of mind” that successful engineers must develop, in addition to mastering technicalcontent (the other five are systems thinking, optimism, collaboration, communication, and ethicalconsiderations).2 As the third decade of this century approaches, the indispensable nature ofcreativity for engineers is evident; calls for developing creative and innovative engineers havebeen made.The 3rd Edition of the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge published by the American Societyof Civil Engineers (ASCE

(engineering/math model).Engineers work with each of these models as they develop their understanding of a concept orsolve a particular problem. Reality is the way the world actually works; in general, reality tendsto be complex. The engineer works to shape reality, and therefore, must be a student of reality,learning how the world works through thoughtful observation. As engineers consider reality,they build mental models of how the world works. The mental model is qualitative and oftenintuitive. The mental model is the single greatest asset an engineer has; in the qualitative andintuitive world of the mind creativity flourishes. An engineer who wishes to communicate orrefine a mental model will draw sketches or diagrams. The mental model should lead
adding extreme constraints often prompts Convergent X creative solutions as it forces your mind to focus on the core of the problem. One example is Ernest Hemingway’s challenge to write a complete story in six words. In that vein, summarize everything that you have learned in your engineering courses in six words (not six words per course; six words total!) 2 Choose a person who inspires you and ask them two questions: (1) Divergent What inspires you? And (2) How do you use that inspiration to fuel your own creativity. Write a summary of their answers in a 1-page memorandum. 3 Making remote associations between words or concepts can help
engineering education standards: What are the opportunities? Whatare the barriers? He argues that “students should learn concepts such as systems, optimization,and feedback; they should develop the abilities of engineering design and habits of mind [1],”which is exactly what OK Go Sandbox strives to support by connecting learning to theengineering of OK Go’s music videos. The rise of engineering education stemmed fromstandards-based reform; however, common standards across the United States for technology andengineering have not yet been adopted like the Common Core State Standards (mathematics andEnglish language arts) that are used throughout the OK Go Sandbox resources. He adds that “thepower of national standards lies in their potential capacity
