history has shown, there has not been general agreement on theobjectives of engineering instructional laboratories nor any real efforts to define a comprehensive set untilnow” [6, p. 126]. While their claim may rely on a particular definition of “objectives” for a course, theGrinter Report does exactly what they say has not been done: The laboratory is the means of teaching the experimental method. It should give the student the opportunity to observe phenomena and seek explanations, to test theories and note contradictions, to devise experiments which will yield essential data, and to interpret results. Therefore, laboratories should be used where and only where these aims are being sought. The value of a set

teaching will only become respectable in higher education when teachers treat their schoolrooms as laboratories for research*). Even if it did not have this in mind the Mann Report contains a powerful case for research and development in engineering education especially in assessment and test construction, curriculum and pedagogy, and training for teaching. To achieving these goals schools of engineering might “consider seriously cooperation with departments of education in the professional training of teachers of applied science and in the scientific study of their teaching problems”.Exhibit 1.

minded and user-centric technologies. The need for digital wellness education is analogous to teaching propersafety protocols when introducing potentially dangerous power tools. Just as educators prioritizephysical safety in laboratories, instructing students on the responsible use and development ofdigital technologies is imperative.The successful integration of digital wellness in higher education must be both systematic andstudent-centered; grounded in psychology, informed by research, and responsive to the liveddigital experiences of learners.MethodsTo date, our efforts have focused on integrating digital wellness into the core first-yearcurriculum; in this paper, we explore the effectiveness of that integration and make the case

Brian Faulkner’s interests include teaching of modeling, engineering mathematics, textbook design, and engineering epistemology. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Beyond Calculations: Engineering Judgment as Epistemic Cognition in Engineering EducationIntroductionEngineering judgment is recognized as a key competency in professional practice. Engineersroutinely make complex decisions at the boundaries of established knowledge while managingsignificant uncertainty [1]. For all these reasons, becoming a competent engineer meansdeveloping sound judgment: a standard employed by practicing engineers as the ultimateauthority in decision-making [2].

fleets of autonomous vehicles, the trust that humans and machines place in oneanother becomes a non-negotiable pillar of responsible deployment. Yet most universitycurricula still treat trust as a slogan— “be transparent, be fair”—rather than as anengineerable property revealed through systematic reasoning. This conceptual paperproposes the Prisoner’s Dilemma (PD), the classic example of Game Theory, and its well-studied variants as a compact laboratory for cultivating trust-centred AI literacy across AI-related majors, from computer science and data science to electrical engineering andhuman–computer interaction. Synthesising findings from behavioural game theory, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and human–AI trust research, we (i) construct

cleaners had fundamental engineering power management design andimplementation faults (e.g., exposed metal parts, poorly insulated wiring, lack of grounding andsafety features) that literally shocked (electrically) many users. This naturally resulted in a levelof individual and public social distress, which in turn initiated public pressure for safetyimprovement. In response to this, and other alarming public technology product safety concerns,Underwriters Laboratories (UL) an independent agency for product assessment was created. ULprofessional engineers would study a product’s design regarding varied performance qualitieswith specific attention to safety, devised tests, and upon successful assessment, grant the famousUL approval certification
