for students to examine their ownepistemologies, and values.The third goal is the exploration of one’s personal value system. The base of all engineering andtechnological activity is the value system that we hold. Our beliefs and attitudes drive ourpersonal and working behaviours. The person who is engineering and technologically literatewill be grounded in a well thought out ethic. One way of arriving at an ethical position might beto examine the constructivist/realist philosophies in their response to the fundamental issues ofethics [14]. Another way might be to examine theories of moral development such as Kohlberg’s[15] and how they might inform self-development the fourth goal of the stage of “romance” onthe one hand, and to the concept

And as a result, educational institutions must also change in response.Taiwan has recently experienced significant changes in its political structure. Accordingly,Taiwan should embark on programs to transform education in general. Education in architecture is particularly ripe for a transformation so that it reflects the needsof the society it must serve. Unless the industry changes in response to larger changes inTaiwanese society, it is likely to enter a period of decline. Ultimately, such changes mustincorporate the technological advances of the day in order to make its transformationsuccessful. The goal should be a refined and professional

fundamental subject matter as opposed to merely existing as a tool [11].Principle Aim and Direction for the Engineering Education FrameworksAs stated in the principle aim of EEF, it is our goal “to produce a technically literate society proficient with state-of-the-art engineering tools. To accomplish this end, it is necessary for students in grades 9-12 to develop sophisticated and systematic methods for the exploration, understanding, and improvement of technology. This is accomplished by providing a rich experience in multidisciplinary research, decision making and problem solving which unifies mathematical, scientific, socioeconomic and ethical principles to practical applications.”Since

We believethat the accomplishment of these objectives can contribute toward the larger goal of improvingthe level of student performance and success in the engineering upper division.To provide an interdisciplinary experience, the freshman introductory course, the junior designcourse, and the senior design course are taken in common by all engineering students. Theseinclude students majoring in mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, andengineering. In addition, a few non-engineering majors pursuing engineering minors take thefreshman and junior courses.The 2001-02 Baylor University Catalog description of this course reads: EGR 3380 EngineeringDesign I (prerequisite: upper division admission).

contexts from both literature and practice, the word stewardshiprefers to the generational knowledge of taking care of the land and community. Thisknowledge is expressed through practical skills such as hunting, trapping, and gathering, andthrough the values of responsibility and reciprocity. Stewardship in this context means to giveback to nature all that nature gives to us and to take only what we need [29].H. R. Anderson, one of the founding directors of the Native American TheologicalAssociation, noted that the communities he engaged with had an ethic of generosity thatdiffered from the dominant culture. In the dominant culture, the status in community wasacquired by having; in Indigenous communities, status was acquired by giving and sharing

In these lectures, students learn how to design custom parts in acomputer-aided design (CAD) suite. As with web design, the goal is not to make the studentsexperts in CAD, but rather to give them the skills to create functional prototypes for novelsituations. After these lectures, students can tackle Task 7 (Section 2.1.7).For the rest of the lectures, there are various topics.
