Notably, the aggregate number of considerations that centered on socioculturalconsiderations increased from 7 (10.3% of total responses) to 29 in the second iteration (41.4%of total responses).

, community,or other source, contextual listening has a broader meaning. It refers to A multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the requirements (their history, political agendas, desires, forms of knowledge, etc.) is fully understood [19, p. 125].Although students in IFCS did not engage with an actual community, the posing of the tankproblem underscored the value of listening to a community to

communication as their 1particular mode of autopoietic reproduction” (p. 3) As leading systems theorists Capra andLuisi[9] described: [Because] communications recur in multiple feedback loops, they produce a shared system of beliefs, explanations, and values – a common context of meaning – that is continually sustained by further communications (p. 308).Applying this theory to systems of higher learning, we argue that the social life (or “culture(s)”)of engineering colleges and departments is maintained by a network of communications fromwhich messages or stories emerge that reflect this “common context of meaning”.

much explicit, named attention has reflection received inengineering education scholarship and how do we interpret these results? To answer thisquestion, we conducted a systematic literature review of all conference publications from theAmerican Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). Our exploration sought to answer thisquestion by assessing the number of papers that explicitly mention reflection.BackgroundReflection can be described as, “...an intentional and dialectical thinking process where anindividual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one or morelenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience).”4 This intentional process can be used as

through a “quality assurance” regime. To provide a flavor of thecurrent approach, faculty are required to specify the number of hours students need to spend tolearn specific content; academic credit as well as faculty course loads are then assigned usingthis measure, even as the specified learning outcomes provides the basis for determining whatdegree programs students are qualified to enter at the start of the second cycle. This means thatEurope has embraced a learning outcomes regime far more extensive than anything required byABET EC 2000’s accreditation protocols.6As an institutional historian and an ethnographer of educational institutions, we have reason tobelieve that the changes brought about by the Bologna Process will not occur all

entrepreneurship projects are constructed primarily in polysemous, contradictory terms. Students largely perceive empirical reality from secondary sources and superficial immersions in “local culture” that average four to eight weeks at a time. As an initial step in the reproduction of the ideology of humanitarian engineering/service learning, a series of markers are argued to constitute certain “facts” about the “third world” (a term used by engineering educators as recently as 2008). Subsequently the third world denizen(s) appears to stand as an abbreviation or, shorthand for a disparate constellation of attributes identified by outsiders visiting from the developed world. This results from a series of markers that apparently speak of
