engineers focuses on learning a number of techniques with which theycan mathematically model a number of scenarios and optimize a mathematical function that issubjected to various mathematical constraints. Reality works differently though. Theimplementation of optimization actions in a real context yields direct and indirect impacts tosociety and to individual people. They are further strengthened when projects are implemented orexecuted in international settings, where different systems of laws, regulations, cultures, andvalues play a role. Several examples in the past have shown dramatic consequences for notconsidering ethical implications of engineering decisions in real projects. Therefore, exposingstudents to ethical conflicts, as well as

For example, students applied the conceptslearned regarding linear, power, and exponential equations in Pre-Calculus to applications in theengineering course. A second engineering course to follow this first one was eventuallydeveloped (another paper8 detailed the development of this engineering course sequence). Thefirst engineering course covered engineering design, engineering ethics, and sustainability inengineering. The second engineering course covered spatial visualization skills, engineeringachievements, computer programming basics, and had an engineering design project. Uponcompletion of the

These types of problems have helped students understand the nature of engineering problems and decisions. However, by themselves, they do not show students the process of transferring basic theory to engineering practice and incorporating it into the “making-of-meaning” required for addressing engineering design problems2, 3.In this paper, it is proposed to augment these problems by asking the students (and instructor) toengage in problem posing and problem structuring.

As pointed out by Kabo and Baillie[10], concepts such as social justice, sustainability, humanitarian practices or ethics can bethreshold concepts to define what a changemaking engineer is. Using this idea, the authorscreated three distinct categories to classify how students defined changemaking engineering.

The evaluation and assessment of‘hard’ skills is generally considered to be significantly easier than that of ‘soft’ skills andabilities, such as (h) [The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineeringsolutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context].
