communication and other workplace skills as described in [18]. Writing togetherwith other students as well as to read and discuss others students’ texts are also considered tocontribute to strengthen writing ability. Only 3% see a strict peer-to-peer-review as way toimprove writing skills. Based on the teacher-student discussions and the discussions amongteachers, the author expected the students to be more positive to the cooperation within andbetween student groups. The reason for this will be investigated further.When the students’ responses are linked to the theories initially presented, concordance appears.Although the survey is limited, certain things are highlighted. It is valid for, among other things,the students’ awareness of need for this

compelling observations made by James Duderstadt in his 2010essay “Engineering for a Changing World”, collected in Dominico Grasso’s and Melody BrownBurkins’ Holistic Engineering Education: Beyond Technology, we find this: “Today we have asociety profoundly dependent upon technology, profoundly dependent on engineers who producethat technology, and profoundly ignorant of technology” (p.31). Such profound ignorancereveals a profound social need. Writes Duderstadt: “Perhaps the most urgent need of our societyis a deeper understanding and appreciation for technology on the part of all college graduatesrather than only those seeking engineering degrees” (p.21), and also proposes that the study ofengineering or technology be included under the umbrella

She received a CAREER award in 2010 and a PECASE award in 2012 for her project researching the stories of undergraduate engineering women and men of color and white women. She received ASEE-ERM’s best paper award for her CAREER research, and the Denice Denton Emerging Leader award from the Anita Borg Institute, both in 2013. She helped found, fund, and grow the PEER Collaborative, a peer mentoring group of early career and re- cently tenured faculty and research staff primarily evaluated based on their engineering education research productivity. She can be contacted by email at

compassionand empathy with respect to education (numbers identified in Table 2). A Web of Science search[48] found that the term empathy (or empathetic) was a much more common idea in highereducation and engineering than compassion, which in turn was much more common thankindness. Papers that resulted from the search on kindness and education were generally relatedto PK12 or medical settings (nursing and medical school). The pre-college papers tended tofocus on teaching kids and students to be kind in their behavior toward peers and more broadly.This had a focus on fostering kindness in pupils among an array of prosocial behaviors,sometimes included with social-emotional education. The medical school settings tended tofocus on teaching future

children. Through it the accumulated wisdom of a culture is transmitted. Eggleston’s paradigm is similar to the “Scholar Academic ideology” proposed by Schiro. “Scholar academics” writes Schiro, “assume that the academic disciplines, the world of the intellect, and the world of knowledge are loosely equivalent. The central task of education is taken to be the extension of the components of this equivalence, both on the cultural level as reflected in the discovery of new truth, and on the individual level, as reflected in the enculturation of individuals into civilization’s accumulated knowledge and ways of knowing” [12]. Jerome Bruner a distinguished American psychologist wrote: “A body of

, microelectronics, electromagnetics, quantum theory and magnetic technology. As the associate chair for undergraduate education, he helped strengthen the ECE curriculum in communications, embedded systems, cyber security, and power. He is the architect of a novel freshman course that introduces fundamental principles of ECE using hands-on pedagogy and a science course for non-STEM majors. Dr. Gomez is also a researcher in the broad areas of micromagnetism and biosensing. He has co-authored over 90 peer-reviewed publications, several book chapters and has three U.S. Patents. He earned his PhD from the University of Maryland, MS from Wayne State in University and BS from the University of the Philippines all in Physics. Among his

sandwich (cooperative) principle of integrated periods of study and trainingin industry. The most popular was six months in industry followed by six months in collegein each of four successive years [4].A requirement of the NCTA was that all students for their diplomas should have participatedin programs of liberal study. This was reinforced in 1957 by a government edict that extendedthe idea of compulsory liberal studies to all levels of technical education even though muchof it was part time study [5]. By 1962 it was seen that the development of literacy, that is theability to read and write, was essential for the general education of all students. Thus, it wasthat in those colleges the term Liberal Studies came to be substituted by General
