Adams and colleagues,for example, examine “storytelling in engineering education” with the explicit goal of betterunderstanding the emergence of an “engineering education research community.” Their focus is,in other words, accounting for an observed convergence and possibly contributing further to it.They invited eight scholars, including three co-authors, to prepare “story poster” presentations atthe national Frontiers in Education conference (supported by the IEEE). The organizers askedpresenters to respond to a structured set of questions designed to evoke “insider knowledge”pertaining to “driving passions and goals, processes such as getting started

One salient, but alsochallenging, ABET outcome is that an engineering graduates should be able to solve a well-definedengineering problem by combining theory and practice [4]. Improving student problem-solvingskills is a requisite to educate new engineers who can meet today’s challenges and become expertsin their field of interest [5,6]. As prior research shows, hands-on experiences and lab componentsof engineering courses provide critical learning experiences for students to better understandfundamental concepts [7-12]. However, many institutions have limited resources for laboratoryequipment, and these limitations inhibit student learning due to constraints on the use of

Instead, itsummarizes the literature to provide a practical reference for faculty members and organizationalleaders who desire to make the development of creativity a more central element of the educationof the engineering students they shepherd. While written by civil engineers and drawing largelyfrom the literature from civil engineering educators, the methods described apply broadly to allengineering educators.INTRODUCTION“Creativity (invention, innovation, thinking outside the box, art) is an

While natural processes act without political/social intent, people practice science within a social context that is immersed in cultures infused with political and social power differentials. The questions asked, priorities assigned, interpretation of data, and presentation of results are all deeply subjective. Conversely, SE respects and values varied ways of knowing and, therefore, the sharing of power over what and how engineers should research, design, and implement. ● Meritocratic: Meritocracy is the false assumption that the system as it currently exists is fair and just.
