However, the course is designed so that most of the skillstaught will be valuable to the students regardless of which career or college major they choose.Examples include teamwork, written, oral and graphical communication, computer, and problemsolving skills.Another reason to offer IE in a high school is to reach a broader audience than can be found incollege engineering classes, which are predominantly white and male.

the curriculum.In 1828, the Institution of Civil Engineers defined engineering as “the art of directinggreat sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man.” 1 By 1956, thisdefinition expanded beyond harnessing physical phenomena to include “application ofknowledge” and “design and production.” 2 What remained consistent however, was theidea that engineering is artfully disposed. This suggests a level of care and understandingthat conjoins thought and feeling. If the transformation of science and technology intoproducts and systems requires empathy or “emotional union,” 3 (i.e., the projection of selfinto objects) then the education and training of engineers should include an understandingof intuitive processing.Engineers must

TYCs often have deep roots within the local community, local businesses, and within the local school districts that can be used to recruit and retain students successfully to the educational pathway leading to an engineering degree.

As opposed to asking students to answer pointed questions, as in the previous application, students are asked to discover the engineering economy subject matter present in a given article. This forces students to interpret the articles and examine them from a “bigger picture”, or topical, perspective. For example, in April of 2001, Midwest Express announced that it was purchasing new jets from Boeing and Embraer 2. The students found topics concerning equipment replacement, technology choice, capacity expansion, risk analysis and cash flow analysis in the article.3.

constant vigilance for the potential violation of engineering ethics must beidentified to the student as their responsibility. They must assume the roll of a waryattendant as well as the competent engineer once they join the engineering profession. Itis suggested that weaving ethics instruction within the ‘normal’ engineering course workcan be an effective means of accomplishing this task. It also has an added benefit: theInstructor is constantly reminded of his/her ethical responsibilities while trying to instillsome ethical conscience in the students.Biography:Francis A.
