CASEE represents a collaborative effort to improvethe alignment of the knowledge and skills possessed by future and current engineers with theknowledge and skills sought by various stakeholders of engineering education. This effort ispursued through programs for engineering education research and innovation as well as activitiesto translate promising practices

engineering course through a course project that focused on mobile sourceemissions. Six of the eight students enrolled in the course were third and fourth year mechanicalengineering students. Two graduate students from other engineering schools were also enrolled. To formulate my ideas for the project, I collaborated with staff at the City of ChicagoDepartment of the Environment, the Region 5 EPA office, and EPA headquarters. The resultingproject had two elements. Both originally focused on Pilsen, a Chicago neighborhood that isboth a trucking hub and a population center for working class families. As part of the firstelement, students assumed the role of fleet managers of small trucking firms in Pilsen seeking tojoin EPA’s SmartWay Transport

criteria of expertise, behavior, and ethical standardsevidenced by a code of conduct it is worth asking whether engineering educators should seekprofessional status in the larger sense of the word. The difficulties inherent in answering thisquestion have already been alluded to earlier in the paper and relate to the way engineeringeducators are socialized into the university and how “engineering” is defined within academia.Schools of engineering seek the best graduates from their or other schools for doctoral programs.Typically the most successful graduates are recruited directly into the university in a position thathas defined duties in both teaching and research. Since they have no ‘world’ experience ofengineering they bring a view of the
