Session 3661 The Social Dimension of Engineering Education A. K. Mazher Aerospace Science Engineering Department, Tuskegee University Tuskegee, Alabama 36088, akmazher@tusk.eduAbstractTechnological advances have an enormous impact on our life and its effects on society,environment and human values are evident everywhere. The engineering is no longer an isolatedfield of human activities and the future role of engineering demands that social, ethical andcultural aspects should be added to the technical dimension of engineering education.

However, because of corporate restructuring and productivity increase Page 8.694.1for engineering activities, some people thought that there was no more need for so many Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2003, American Society for Engineering Educationengineers.

Student majors from industrialmanagement to engineering technology to environmental science andtechnology, and aerospace approached the project from different perspectives.The mutual attraction for the project was designing and building a solar S-Classbike. Team development considerations included understanding project goals,defining objectives, creating a plan, assessing the plan, implementing the plan,and choosing team leaders. The competition was the ultimate goal. As theRayce neared, enthusiasm for the project grew.The RayceThe intercollegiate competition in Kansas provided an opportunity for the teamto observe the race-worthiness of the vehicle and to evaluate their design andfabrication efforts.

) does not have a “materials subgroup” within it. In DMSE, materials is the “main group,” and mechanics isa subgroup. Similarly, DMSE students are strong in the materials aspects of engineering, but perhaps weaker inaspects of stress analysis and mechanical design. Materials graduates need competence in mechanics in order todesign correctly with their carefully developed materials, and some materials departments address this need byrequiring a traditional Mechanics of Materials subject taught by one of the structurally-oriented departments(typically Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace, or Applied Mechanics). If the connection between the mechanics subjectand the materials curriculum is unclear, the mechanics subject then becomes the academic
