an electrical fluid (current).” This seems like the statement in Sabbagh that the realexistence of electrical properties is not essential for engineering knowledge. Nilsson 2015 [12, p.11] includes almost the same sentence: “In circuit theory, the separation of charge creates anelectrical force (voltage) and the motion of charge creates an electrical fluid (current).” Perhapsthis change was for brevity or clarity, but it is epistemically significant. When discussing idealresistors Nilsson 1983 begins by saying “One must keep in mind several important properties ofthe ideal resistor” and follows by describing three assumptions. Nilsson 2015 omits much of thisdiscussion, presenting only one assumption and ends by saying “In this book we assume

programs have not given muchrecent consideration to the appropriateness of this requirement. While there has been muchdiscussion of other aspects of engineering education, including the incorporation into thecurriculum of more “soft-skills”, class delivery modes, and capstone design project requirements,there has not been much discussion of the appropriate role for technical electives. This issomewhat surprising considering the desire of many programs and universities to reduce thenumber of credits required for an engineering degree in an effort to increase graduation rates,reduce time-to-graduation, and decrease student debt loads. With this in mind, the primarypurpose of this paper is to prompt discussion of the purpose of technical electives

creationorder. Lifelong learners also benefit from camaraderie between fellow learners and sympathyfrom faculty and mentors. From this understanding, engineering educators can develop activitiesand assignments that foster these attitudes and enforce practice in the activities of lifelonglearners.IntroductionIn the West, the educational system shows signs of an imminent failure. Whether by design,negligence, or ignorance, graduates from American high schools lack critical thinking andmastery of basic knowledge to be successful in life, higher education, or engineering [1]–[5]. Inmany ways, the current educational moment has forgotten its two-fold aim: “the systematicdevelopment and cultivation of powers of mind and body” and “the systematic inculcation
