This is not surprising because as early as the nineteenth century theUnited States possessed a Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education that hadsponsored the first of these major reflections, and subsequently several more. Socially relevantissues in engineering education (and STEM education more generally) are often identified bynationally distributed reports from blue ribbon panels. In engineering these date back to theMann report of 1918, through the 1923 Wickenden study, the 1940 Hammond Report, the 1955Grinter Report, the Goals of Engineering Education report (1968), Engineering Education andPractice in the United States (1985), The Engineer of 2020 (2004), to

While this may be a novel treatment, it does not gofar enough in addressing Heidegger’s critics and contemporaries – something we will attemptthrough using a lens borrowed from Jaspers’ work – that of his interpretation of existence andmeaning. In order to further ground this philosophical treatment, we will bring into play keyarguments of Husserl’s metaphysics, which contain constructs still relevant to a modernengineering philosophy. Finally, we hope to integrate the three in a manner relevant colleagueswithin engineering education and beyond.

Thiscourse prioritizes familiarity with engineering content and technical style, while also invitingengineering students to reflect upon, evaluate, and defend their organizational, design, andwriting decisions.Implementing a STEM-specific technical writing course also provides students with theopportunity to further engage with their disciplines and the opportunity improve upon any(accurate or inaccurate) negative self-perceptions of general written and verbal ability [2].Goldsmith and Willey note in another study note that if sustainable writing practices were to besuccessfully introduced into

tales, a more holistic approach may beachieved: one which happens to be reflected in student learning outcomes associated with ABETaccreditation of undergraduate engineering programs. In addition, by exploring ‘missingnarratives’ – voices and stories that are silenced or excluded in a given narrative – we can betterunderstand the role of ethics and values in engineering designs and technological failures. Thisapproach allows for a learning-through-questioning, problem-based approach which has aninherent multidisciplinary appeal and the ability to motivate STEM student learning whileexploring questions of social justice, diversity, sustainability and global concerns.In a broader context, technologies themselves are inseparable from the concept

reflecting the specialized knowledgethat defines the context”. He argued that students should be trained to teach because they alsolearn when they have to explain to “others using such methods as cooperative learning andpeer instruction”. Support for Trevelyan’s thesis is to be found in a review of research onlearning-by-teaching and its implications for engineering education reported by Carberry andOhland [2]. Although it is known that some students are trained and paid to act as tutors forsmall groups in some programmes no information is given in either of these papers about thecontent of that training. It is argued here that substantial prior training may lead to moreeffective learning exchanges and subsequently better teaching in higher

Just as philosophy learns from practice and in turn can refineit, matters of practice gain justification by and provide feedback to theory.

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.

possible actions, then chooses to act in a particular way.Their choice determines what they pay attention to following the action. To make sense of theresults of their action, at least the ones they paid attention to, they develop mental representationsor perspectives of the result of the action. There are many possible perspectives that can bedeveloped based on the actor’s attention and interests. Regardless of how they interpret theresults of their own actions, they leave the field of action with new knowledge which informsfuture intentions, thus starting the cycle again. Thus in Macmurray’s system one’s interactionwith, or coupling to, the world is defined iteratively through action that is reflectively informedby knowledge gained through one’s

Cadets were encouraged to talk with their advisor, other classmates, otherCadets in the major, and with the author. Several Cadets chose the latter and excellentdiscussions were had with the author outside of the classroom. As a result, the essays writtenwere thoughtful and thought provoking. In a survey that was accomplished after the essays weregraded and returned, many Cadets thought the essay experience was valuable and theyappreciated the opportunity to reflect on the relevance

Grunert and Adams(2016) reflect this consensus when they assert that “engineering literacy develops citizensthrough their participation in a culture and society that depends on engineering projects.Engineering literate persons function fully within such a society, participating in engineeringprojects not only insofar as engineering training is required, but also in recognition of the broadersocial impact of those projects.” Their paper highlights an interesting finding from their previousresearch: an “absence of meaningful difference between students in engineering courses of studyand students in non-engineering programs.” Of course, this recognition goes at least as far back as “Improving TechnologicalLiteracy” (2002), in which
