pursued byengineers to gain visibility, achieve relevance, and influence the public. The profession ofnursing offers three advantages as compared to the profession of engineering in terms ofeffective public engagement, including: 1) trust (i.e., Gallop shows nursing as the “most trusted”profession for 15 years running); 2) gender bias (i.e., the profession of nursing is primarilycomposed of females, which the engineering profession claims is an important target audiencefor marketing efforts); and 3) professionalism (i.e., the canons of ethics for nurses emphasize theimportance of the patient – and hence the value of the individual – while the canon of ethics forengineers emphasize the importance of the nameless “public” – and hence looses the

goodsbecause they are by definition both non-rivalrous and non-excludable. For example, sampleethics lessons from the National Academy of Engineering’s Online Ethics Center(www.onlineethics.org) might constitute a public good because one professor’s use of a samplelesson in their class does not prevent another professor’s use of that same lesson. Similarly, thematerials are publicly available and non-excludable as long as someone has internet access. Openenrollment public universities might also effectively meet these criteria (in relation to the localstates and regions they serve at low or no tuition), as long as the cost of attendance is keptsufficiently low so as not to be a barrier to entry, and education is delivered at such a scale thatnon

We may also be seeing an indirect effect of awareness to the faculty memberextended to the students. Since the faculty instructors were receiving our correspondence aboutthe research project and changes to the textbook in the area of standards, we may be seeing thegeneral effect of these instructors highlighting the standards material in their courses.The materials added (detailed above) include content on an array of standards knowledge. Weemphasize the market orientation of the standards, from both the development and useperspectives. We
