The first two years of the program consisted of a series of dynamic seminars ontopics as diverse as plasma physics, stealth astrophysics and satellite reconnaissance. In the fall2003, one of the authors co-presented one of the seminars on “Careers in Engineering andIntroduction to Engineering Design”. This seminar involved a variety of hands-on activities thatthe students rated favorably at the end of the seminar series. Despite having excellent speakersduring the 2003-4 program year, the

To foster further learning, the facilitators let studentsengage in discussion with one another on the pros and cons of taking a plane, riding the bus,riding the train, and driving to a vacation destination. This experience was unique because itallowed students to teach students from their own experiences. It also helped students form moreopen-minded opinions about modes of transportation that they had not experienced.Introduction to Transportation Engineering at Westlake

But I am wondering whether the story the administrator is telling alsoallows for other versions of becoming an engineer. The story doesn’t demand outright that Iconform but there is a tacit hostility in the way other points of view are unacknowledged andexcluded, like the feeling of dismissal when somebody doesn’t take the trouble to learn yourname.After telling us about our importance to the economy, the administrator then tells us how exactlywe are important: “The role of technology, and the infusion of technology in our society, has just become limitless, right?”To my mind, these comments even seem to

The challenge of determining how to best balance the technical informationthat was important to convey with more easily understood conceptual basics, all while usingappropriate vocabulary, was something the majority of college students discussed in theirreflections. Though engineering instructors commonly emphasize the skill of communicatingwith the audience in mind throughout the curriculum, this type of immersive experienceexemplifies the importance of being able to adapt to a variety of audiences.
