may be more universally achievable. Kindness avoids setting up ahierarchy. There are not ‘victims’. We don’t need to understand the particulars of circumstancesand sit in judgement. Kindness is also associated with the positive emotions of happiness andjoy, in contrast with compassion [27]. Further discussion of the affordances of kindness as amodel for engineering are discussed after the literature survey process.Connections between kindness and other concepts that resulted from an attempt to summarizethe literature are shown in Figure 1. While certainly not exhaustive, keeping these relationshipsin mind is helpful.Figure 1.

in the paper Mind the Gaps:Engineering Education and Practice, [12]. Speaking to the “misalignment between engineeringeducation and practice” the author makes clear that a “Technical problem-solving model cannotexplain practice” and that engineers can only change the world “. . . if they also deliver theartefacts represented by their problem solutions and designs.”Engineering education urgently needs to revisit how Science, Engineering and Technology areordered and especially how practicing engineers are essential to R&D programs. Practitionersare empowered with an acute awareness of what is commercially practical as to materials,manufacturing processes, and how to employ what is available to be able to create what wasunavailable

societywhere those projects exist. Related, Rowena “wanted to understand a little bit more about theway they [engineers] think.” By understanding how they think, she explained, we can bettercomprehend, as Marley also said, “how to use engineering to solve social problems.” When asked about how the course met their expectations, the students responded with agreat deal of focus on how Citizen Engineering helped expand notions of engineering to includenon-engineers’ stakes in engineering projects. Marley was clear about this: “Learning aboutengineering, citizen engineering, will allow me to go into general engineering subjects with moreof a mind toward citizens, not engineers and non experts. More of a willingness to cooperatewith them directly on

John HenryNewman wrote to his sister Jemima in 1845, predating faculty psychology- “The great pointis to open men’s minds – to educate them-and make them logical it does not matter what thesubject is, which you use for this purpose. If you will make them think in politics you willmake them think in religion”. In the twenty first century Brad J.

Instructorsalso have discretion as to whether to propose their FYC to count toward the college’s three-course graduation requirement in writing.In putting together Thinking Like an Engineer as a first-year course, the primary learning goal wehad in mind was to counter the stereotype that engineering was a field of inquiry whosedynamics mainly stemmed from the application of technical knowledge drawn from the fields ofmathematics and the natural sciences. We were interested in getting students to see engineeringas evolving and interdisciplinary, as a field within the liberal arts (as noted in the

Many of these initiatives must take place at theadministrative level to be effective 34,35. Without administrative support and relevant incentivesfor individual professors, reform efforts often fade, although a review of multiple studies alsoshows that change cannot be mandated in a top-down approach 36. Individual professors shouldreshape their courses with these issues in mind. However, it can be difficult to bring thesedifferent facets of student experience into focus, and understand what is possible within aspecific course.

each person in a caring and respectful fashion, mindful of individual differences and cultural and ethnic diversity. Engineers promote clients’ socially responsible self-determination. Engineers seek to enhance clients’ capacity and opportunity to change and to address their own needs. Engineers are cognizant of their dual responsibility to clients and to the broader society. They seek to resolve conflicts between clients’ interests and the broader society’s interests in a socially responsible Page 26.322.11 manner consistent with the values, ethical principles, and ethical standards of the profession. ● Value

Paretti is an Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech, where she co- directs the Virginia Tech Engineering Communications Center (VTECC). Her research focuses on com- munication in engineering design, interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication

, and the difference compared with Group C, university visitors, is statisticallysignificant. The higher score is likely due to the environmental engineering students, many ofwhom are female and are expected to want to do good for society [10]. However, it does notexplain why the environmentally and socially minded secondary school students are notdrawn into engineering.Being a male predicts interest in technology more than being a Scientist or an Idealist. It alsopredicts an interest in engineering studies more than the Scientist orientation. This stronggender-related divide has been found to be typical especially for the economically developedcountries with high levels of gender equality. It has been suggested to relate to the gender
