the development of technology. World War II wasstill in recent memory and the Cold War was in full swing. The prevailing opinion was that success in theCold War meant maintaining technological superiority at all costs. A committee of leading engineeringeducators was assembled to assess the readiness of engineering programs in the United States for thetechnological challenges of the coming decades. The committee’s work lasted over three years, beginningin 1952. A preliminary report was issued in 1953 which went to all accredited engineering programs andthe committee received feedback reports from 122 institutional committees. Based on this feedback, aninterim report was issued in 1954 and sent not only to engineering educators, but also to

RED proposal submitted to NSF laid out a vision for the ECEdegree program: The underlying vision of this project is simple. Engineering is and will remain a technical discipline defined by addressing meaningful problems. However, in the century since the Mann Report first outlined the state of engineering education, the nature of what constitutes meaningful problems has fundamentally changed. Engineering at the start of the 20th Century sought to marry science and industry for production, and as the means of production changed so did engineering education, serving as a technological means to an economic end. Engineers have succeeded dramatically in fulfilling this vision. Products today are churned out at high rates and are much

This paper describes these persistent issues which negatively affectsocieties at a global level, with a focus upon software engineering design methods to expose andprevent these harmful debts early in the development lifecycle. As the users of softwaretechnologies are consequentially affected, social constructs are proposed to provide a feedbackloop to both the developer and the consumer communities to better ensure continuous acceptabletechnical and ethical product quality. A historical review of technical and ethical debt concernsand their relationship is provided, with a focus upon the
