If thecommunity college does not offer an engineering associate degree, engineering would not showup on the list of majors at all. Second, students are required to declare a major and create aneducational plan outlining the courses taken each term in order to get priority registration.Unfortunately, the list of majors that students may choose from is limited to the degrees andcertificates that the specific college offers.

implement reflects themany ways engineer take designs from ideas to reality. Many engineers do build designs using abroad array of techniques. Perhaps one of the biggest differences between engineeringdisciplines is the specialized methods and technologies they use to implement designs. Howeversome engineers implement ideas through manipulation of information, such as designingcomputer software or producing plans. Here the real value is the information in the blueprint orcode, not the medium (paper or magnetic disk) that contains the information. Another option forimplementing a design is to contract another company to build it. In this case the engineer workswith the company to ensure the work is done properly.The fourth step of the engineering

Thatwork appears in tension with students’ differentiation of the highly theoretical world of engineeringschool from their more practical perception of engineering work [7,8]. These perceptions exist aboutthings external to students and provide insight into students’ epistemological boundaries – representinginformation about what the student counts as engineering knowledge [2].
