Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

never saw a disconnect between engineering and ethics and always felt that when you're teaching specifically design courses, most importantly design courses, that ethical considerations have to be integrated in the class… there might be an engineering ethics course because it seemed like it was a standalone thing that you could ignore.Divorcing ethics from core courses, including design, in the curriculum may imply that ethicsand engineering are divorced in practice. The interviewee concluded, “ethics needs to beintegrated throughout the curriculum.” If ESI is not distributed throughout the coursework andintegrated with core content, students may perceive it as tangential to engineering, which canimpact their ability to recognize and

study groups that brought students together withsimilar interests were created as part of a learning community [30].In so far as developing an identity as an engineer is concerned as long ago as 1982 Culverand Hackos criticised the curriculum as it was then structured [31]. The units did not presentan integrated idea of what engineering is about to the students. Opportunities had to beprovided for the students to act as engineers. Much effort was put into trying to resolve thisproblem at the Colorado School of Mines [28].One advantage that fully online courses have over traditional course is that they are self-paced. Students can engage with them as and when they like. This has the advantage thatthey can arrange their studies in relation to

specificdeclarative knowledge. The foregrounding of an understanding of engineering as technologicalactivity, founded on (but not limited to) well-established discipline specific knowledge is framedas an ‘ontology-based curriculum’.We conclude the paper with a discussion of some of the prevailing challenges to operationalisingthis conception of engineering education for society.IntroductionOver several decades, there has been an increasing recognition of the difficulties facingengineering education in terms of meeting the needs of a rapidly evolving society. In its broadestsense, this discussion centres on a disparity between society’s need for effective modernengineers, and the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students develop in their engineeringeducation

Approach to Empathetic Electrical Engineering CoursesAbstractBackgroundThe ability to empathize provides the basis to understand others, an often-overlookedprofessional skill in engineering curriculums. Studies have shown that engineering students haveless empathy after completing their degree than when they had entered. Having low amounts ofempathy in engineers can result in less concern for public welfare and social considerationsduring the engineering design process.PurposeIn this work, we consider when engineering students are entering an empathetic cycle. Moststudies develop a model based on an educators’ perspective and how empathy is a teachable andlearnable skill. This study examines how engineering students can

essential features of systems thinking extend beyonddisciplinary boundaries. A common general feature of systems thinking is adoption of a holistic,integrative, synthesis perspective.The work reported here employs a working definition of systems thinking taken from recentdefinitions focused on engineering applications. A key feature in common among recentformulations of system thinking is an emphasis on identifying major system elements andidentifying the relationships between those elements. Stave and Hopper created a set of systemsthinking measures by interviewing systems educators [8]. While the educators interviewedexpressed a range of opinions, the ability to recognize key components of a system was aconsistent theme. A set of systems thinking

Privacy is also a key issue in computing education, being requiredunder the ABET Computing Accreditation Commission’s criteria (5. Curriculum, (a)2.d. Humansecurity) [37] and recommended for computer engineering education (e.g. in the ACM/IEEE’sCurricular Guidelines [38], privacy is found among the Preparation for Professional Practiceoutcome 9, contemporary issues). A general discussion of scenarios and issues related to ethicsand privacy is provided by Britz [39] from the perspective of an information professional.Human rights are discussed as one of three ethical norms applicable to privacy (also includingtruth and freedom).
