Three engineers work for a governmental department which oversees theconstruction of a large-scale public transit system. Having participated in the project for anumber of years, they find serious problems in the management and deployment of theengineering work, which have led to a waste of public funds and pose a threat to the safety ofcommuters. After reporting their concerns to their direct managers, they receive only vagueresponses and witness no

many nonhuman beings, forces, and systems which surround and suffusethem, allowing us to address such questions explicitly within our pedagogy.When we teach, we seek to advance generative critiques of engineering, connect to studentvalues, and frame new perspectives about what engineering can be. This is not a minor project,as the work of a wide community of scholars in engineering education can attest (see, forexample, [1] [2] [3]). We find that recent scholarship in Environmental Humanities and Scienceand Technology Studies (STS) offers conceptual tools to help us develop such curricula. Thisscholarship develops paradigms for addressing what we sometimes call “non-humans” in relationto technologies and social life— paradigms that offer

They are given prompts related to wickedproblems, sustainability, and social entrepreneurship, and they then write 600-1000 words inresponse to these prompts. These writing assignments require that students find appropriatereferences to provide facts and support their statements, but they also require some personalreflection, and convey each

In the 19th century, Germans used the word “Einfühlung” inaesthetics theory to describe the process in which a viewer projects oneself into the objectof beauty. At the turn of the century, “Einfühlung” migrated out of aesthetics and becamea choice for psychologists to describe the ability to

Naturally, there are many approaches to improving engineeringeducation, and many aspects of engineering education that require attention and effort.

In thelast phase of the process, each student creates an argument to justify his/her selection of the bestwork of the year. While this may seem a risky endeavor, the risk is minimized by establishingappropriate parameters and standards by the “Project Director” (aka the English faculty member)in order to produce a course that is both academically rigorous and engaging to students. This paper provides a brief literature review of current trends in first year composition(FYC) programs and situates this approach within these trends; describes the context of thecourse delivery, including school demographics and curriculum requirements; explains thecourse

One of the most influential efforts to scale the language of peaceinto engineering education and profession is George Catalano’s 2004 proposition to modify theABET Criterion 3, which deals primarily with student learning outcomes such as “ability todesign and conduct

For those engineers with more than one interview, the interviewsconsisted of learning about the engineer’s current work projects, work environment and closecolleagues; and assessing the engineer’s attitude about his/her work activity and workplace socialenvironment.The analysis was conducted in several steps. First, the interviews were professionally transcribedand then thematically coded by Vinson.
