And, if nosuch liberal intercourse be established, it is the common failing of human nature, to beengrossed with petty views and interests to underrate the importance of all in which we arenot concerned, and to carry our partial notions, into cases where they are inapplicable to act,in short, as so many unconnected units, displacing and repelling one another.”7Since there is a need for ethics to be built into the design then users should be in a position tocomment on the design for which they will also need to be

In someways this echoes the language of the Mann report but acknowledges that as Technology hasincreasingly become integrated into all infrastructures that a systemic, rather than industry-focused, perspective is necessary. The systemic focus is noteworthy since systems need to beunderstood either through functional decomposition—the basis of outcome development—orholistically as they become more complex.As has been pointed out by others [12] engineering education adapts to the times; it must bydefinition do so since the role of engineers has

The analysis concludes that the practice of engineering judgmentrelies on displays to recognize and construct rhetorical tactics to satisfy the requirements of atask. This study connects to recent research in engineering education on the importance ofdisplays 15, 16 for learning the design process, and reveals the dynamics of displays for carryingout engineering judgment. Engineering judgment is a core competency for engineering practice. Philosophers,educators, practitioners, and historians agree that engineering judgment is necessary for ethical,sophisticated, and professional engineering practice1, 2, 3, 4, ,5.

, as Marley said, “Itchanged my view as I said earlier even about like the moral aspect and the ethical aspect becauseI didn’t really think it [engineering] was just about designing and building stuff, but that waswhat I kind of anticipated as like the main part.” Design and construction, for Marley, were notthe main part of engineering; rather, the moral and ethical considerations that accompany designand construction were a primary concern of engineering. Additionally, Reness saw that CitizenEngineering “exceeded my expectations on just learning about kind of, like, world issues.” The role of non-engineers in engineering projects was prominent in student responses.Milburn acknowledged their contribution to engineering literacy: “The

Society and social norms also have a tremendous role toplay through consumerism. Awareness of the complicated interaction is paramount for continuedadvancement of civilization.

. 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.

It may sound that we are teaching for a test, but if the problems are conceptual with applications in mind that is fine. 5. Teaching engineering needs to be connected to the philosophical basis of engineering and reflect on this connection. We need to teach within the pragmatic and ethical framework of engineering .

They are; Teaching for Citizenship; Teaching for Living Skills andCompetencies: Teaching for Employment Competencies.Teaching for citizenship “would involve ethics, politics and philosophy and ways in whichtechnological developments can impinge upon and challenge our understanding of moralreasoning”. For example, advances in medicine are an ever present reminder of this effect.Among other matters they raise important questions about the right to die.

solutions in aglobal and societal context.The motivation for this work is an approach to student educational development based onthe three dimensions of technological literacy outlined in Tech Tally. This includes thesocial, technical, and ethical aspects of technology. Tech Tally identifies threedimensions of technological literacy as shown in Figures 1 and 2. These are knowledge,capabilities, and critical thinking and decision-making. Engineering educators whoreflect on this perspective will note that most engineering classes focus on the capabilitiesand knowledge dimensions, while the dimension of critical thinking and decision-makingis not well-represented in the engineering curriculum.Figure 1: A Graphical Representation of the Three

can see this worked out in Kallenberg’s [22] approach tothe teaching of ethics to engineering students, and we can also see that by substation of theengineering examples it is a more general application of design as knowledge.

It is thus helpful for students to learn where their currentforms of music enjoyment came from, and how they have evolved to where they are today. Thecourse has thus expanded the music acquisition topics to include the impacts of the internet onmusicians, record labels, and consumers, as well as ethical and legal arguments that have arisen.In a similar way, music creation has also been changed forever by the online technologies thatnow exist.

students6-9 but there arediscussions whether it should stop at introducing the theoretical rules and use7 or should italso include the development process.10The most effective way to introduce standards to engineering students was determined to beby inclusion into engineering curricula or use of standards in the classroom.8-11 However,although recognized as efficient, standards inclusion into curriculum is still not commonpractice due to a variety of reasons. One of the main reasons is that engineering curriculumis highly intensive in technical subjects which, in turn, leaves little room for auxiliarycourses on other topics of interest to engineers (i.e. project management, standards, ethics,etc.). Other reasons for the lack of curricula adoption
