balance between a number of opposingforces. A minimum of fundamentals in science and math are required to prepare students fortheir sophomore engineering coursework, and exposure to the nature of engineering and itsopportunities is needed to enable students to identify an appropriate career path. However, theacademic rigor of the first year in engineering is overly challenging and even shocking for manystudents. Still, calls for engineering education reform speak of educating students in areas ofcommunication, ethics and professionalism, design, working in teams, leadership,entrepreneurship, and global understanding (to name a few), all of which vie for curriculum time.As we seek to transform the first year we also need to keep an eye to current

Understanding typically requires more than abstract knowledge. For example, an engineer with an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility should be able to identify and to communicate ethical issues arising from a practical case study. • Level 3 (Ability) is a capability to perform with competence. An engineer with the ability to design a particular system can take responsibility for the system, identifying all

programs respond to questions about the inclusion and coverage of the topics of ethics,corporate social responsibility, and sustainability at their institutions. In terms of sustainabilitythey found that one third of these schools require all three topics as part of the MBA program,and there is a trend toward the inclusion of sustainability-related courses. Also, that several ofthese schools are teaching these topics using experiential learning and immersion techniques.The World Resources Institute and the Aspen Institute annually publishes a list of the top 100full-time MBA programs that integrate environmental and social content into the curriculum (seewebsite at http://beyondgreypinstripes.org/rankings/index.cfm).

offer support for schools in which engineeringcourses can not be implemented thoroughly due to lack of engineering education professionals orresources [10, p. 21]. However, in this framework the relationship between engineering designand technology with societal impact is framed under the concept of professionalism, referring toengineering ethics. The framework goes so far to state that, “technology by itself is neutral anddoes not affect people or the environment. However, it is the way in which people develop anduse technology that determines if it is helpful or harmful” [10, p. 74]. Such a statement removesresponsibility of harm from the engineers by displacing impact onto the users. In this project, we are working to integrate youth

We call this the “neutrality problem” and describe it as placingmoral weight not on the work of engineers but instead the ad hoc uses of engineered artifacts.The problem appears in common assumptions that, for instance, guns are only as violent as theirusers intend them to be, absolving engineers of moral responsibility for the socio-technicaloutcomes that they helped to produce. The “neutrality problem” has a long history of beingchallenged by critically engaged engineering educators.
