, professional Page 13.917.15ethics would no longer describe the avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of the noble,excellent and good. We should explore beauty as an ethical duty, and virtue as the pursuitof beauty in our products and the effect they have on people. Hence, we might then notonly proscribe the unsafe and environmentally reckless, but also disdain the tawdry, dirty,ugly, or maliciously destructive. If Christians going into our fields were imbued with thissense of an engineer’s calling, it might shape their career choices and projects to whichthey devote their lives. If Christian scholars sought to further develop this understandingof

She is also the Principal Investigator of the Influence of MESA Activities on Underrepresented Students, a program funded by the DRK-12 program at NSF. This exploratory study examines the influences that those MESA activities have on students’ perception of engineering and their self-efficacy and interest in engineering and their subsequent decisions to pursue careers in engineering.

Because smallcases are so limited, instructors can spend more time focusing on these skill sets, as well asethical problem identification and moral deliberation.Finally, a consideration of our students’ career paths indicates that small cases may be morerelevant.

engineering programs in the nation, we are building an innovative program aligned with the university mission of Pro Humanitate (For Humanity). We are committed to educating the whole person and the whole engineer with fearlessness and virtuous character. With inclusion being a core value, our engineering team represents 60% female engineering faculty and 40% female students, plus 20% of students from ethnic minority groups. Prior to joining Wake Forest University, Olga served as a Program Director at the National Science Foundation in the Division of Undergraduate Education and founding faculty of the Department of Engineering at James Madison University.
