be used with students who are not majoring in one of the STEM disciplines.IntroductionIt is widely recognized that our standard of living, economy, and way of life are dependent onthe use of technology created by engineers. However, the National Academy of Engineering(NAE) has drawn attention to the paradox that while most people acknowledge their dependenceupon technology, few have even rudimentary understanding of the underlying principles at workor the nature of engineering [1]. The NAE has long advocated that all citizens should possess anunderstanding of technology, how it is developed, how it works, how it affects society, and howsociety determines the path of technological developments.The NAE has made an effort to characterize

(TUEE) effort, representatives from industry rated systems thinking as ahigh priority for engineering education [1]. Even more noteworthy, this industry survey ratedsystems knowledge as more critical than “understanding of design.” According to these industryrespondents, “problems and challenges are generally system problems.” Industry representativesalso advocated for introducing students to systems concepts early in undergraduate engineeringprograms [1].Systems thinking also provides a means to develop the technological and engineering literacy ofnon-engineers. In Technically Speaking: Why all Americans need to know more abouttechnology [2], the NAE advocated a wider understanding of technology broadly defined as theproducts of all the

Work in Progress - Projects in engineering education - cross-fertilization between communication and situated learningIntroductionEngineering education has been regularly reformed a number of times the last decades [1], andcontinues to develop. Along this track the role of the engineer has also developed. As Cohen andcolleagues [2] describe it, the development has ”... sought to enlarge the core identity of theengineer from a technician skilled at calculation and fabrication to a professional member of thewider culture”. This is probably true now more than ever, as we face global challenges of climatechange, large migration streams and an overall focus on economic, social and ecologicalsustainable development.

Instead, the focus seem to be meeting earningsforecasts.Henry Petroski, in To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design [1], relatesan encounter in chapter 1 with a neighbor who, after the Kansas City Hyatt Regency skywalkscollapse, wondered why engineering did not know enough to build so simple a structure as anelevated walkway. The neighbor went on to cite the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse, theAmerican Airlines DC-10 crash in Chicago, some other famous failures, and a few things that hehad heard about hypothetical nuclear power plant accidents that he was sure would exceed ThreeMile Island in radiation release. The neighbor’s point was that engineering did not quite havethe world of their

Our domestic development and production capability is being forfeited onaccount of engineering research culminating as no more than paper.The acceptance of paper solutions as an academic R&d end game has led to development andproduction increasingly occurring outside the U.S., where our academic work products aredeveloped, scaled, and put into production overseas [1].

These advances in technology have impacted and transformed society both on apersonal and professional level. They have seemingly improved the quality of life [1],[2],[3] byproviding a means of knowledge acquisition and exchange, and by connecting people andbusinesses everywhere. Most of today’s advanced technologies are powered by machinelearning algorithms. The machine learning algorithms examine trends in data and formrelationships by recognizing the patterns in the data.

The course is designed partly as an opportunity to “touch” newtechnologies, with the instructors providing a variety of gadgets and participants encouraged tobring their personal devices.This course was developed as part of the outreach activities of Michigan State University(MSU), and the curriculum was

In this situation,engineering programs should share some of the responsibility in helping to educate allAmericans about technology.1–5In undergraduate education formidable barriers exist to discourage non-engineers from trying todevelop an in-depth understanding about technology and engineering. The engineering major is ahighly-sequenced and lengthy course of study. Access to the major is hindered by a significantarray of prerequisite courses. In these circumstances it is difficult to combine the study ofengineering with any other undergraduate major.Most undergraduate programs require some type of science course as part of the general

Realwater, balloons, plastic tubing, and fluid flow meters are used to show Kirchhoff’s current lawand an R-C transient. It gets pretty messy.

IntroductionThere is confusion today to define concepts or activities related to the terms “technology” and“engineering”. Society tends to confuse the term technology with science, when technology isconcerned with “what can or should be through modification of the natural world, and science isvery concerned with what is (exist) in the natural world.

Recent efforts havedrawn attention to the need to clarify an underlying philosophy of engineering.1,2 Theimportance of enumerating and analyzing the philosophical underpinnings of engineering isbecoming more widely recognized. Clarification of a philosophy of engineering is relevant tothe discipline even if many engineering practitioners operate without a conscious awareness ofthis philosophy.1-3 A significant component of these efforts includes attempts to distinguishengineering and technological activity from the

A small scale assessment was applied to gauge the students’ receptiveness to the techniques.Although the project is in the preliminary stages, the feedback has been positive. Currently,further efforts are being made to assess students throughout the course of the semester,comparing their overall success with their opinion of the techniques highlighted in the project.

Yet for engineering educators thedefinitions of engineering do matter since they inform what we should do. Definitions also pointout potential conceptual imprecisions; if we do not interpret a definition the same way then thereis a potential for miscommunication and subsidiary ideas may themselves be imprecise.Mitcham and Schatzberg point out 1 that definitions are fundamental to philosophy, and ourphilosophy, whether explicit or not, determines how we educate 2.
