the fall of 2010, the three instructors were brainstorming ideas on how to motivate engineeringstudents to hone their oral presentation skills and showcase their engineering talents in a fun,competitive arena, and Presentation Idol for Engineering Students was born. The first event washeld in the spring of 2011, with over $2,000 in prize money. After the success of the inauguralevent, Idol was held again in May, 2012, and with industry support, the prize pool for the 2012competition grew to over $3,300. The next Idol competition for spring, 2013 is currently beingplanned. Having started as a simple idea for an extra-curricular activity, Idol is now on its way tobecoming an ongoing event at the institute.How does Presentation Idol work?To make

inengineering education must replace problem sets with question sets.” Failure – or refusal – to sotransform risked engineering educators and their alumni “acced[ing] to the longevity of feignedinnocence” all too familiar in their ancestral line.The myth of objective, neutral “rigor” in engineering education [23] is linked to the myth of themasculine, white engineer who built America [24]. Both have contributed to engineering’sexclusivity and tendency to marginalize those who challenge the myths. As Shaun Harperwarned, an education that avoids engaging with social context and, for example, conversationsabout race, risks graduating “accidental racists” [25, 26]. Amy Slaton has examined how specific“conceptions of engineering talent and rigor” have

We know from a long line of psychological studies that when we make decisions in themoment, they are not always well thought out and may in fact be detrimental to us in the fu-ture 8,9 . And even when we make a decision beforehand, if it is too easy to break that decisionwhen it matters, it is an empty decision. Constraining our future actions in such a way that wecannot change that decision has becoming known as a Ulysses Contract (sometimes also calledSelf-Paternalism 10 ).
