Instructorsalso have discretion as to whether to propose their FYC to count toward the college’s three-course graduation requirement in writing.In putting together Thinking Like an Engineer as a first-year course, the primary learning goal wehad in mind was to counter the stereotype that engineering was a field of inquiry whosedynamics mainly stemmed from the application of technical knowledge drawn from the fields ofmathematics and the natural sciences. We were interested in getting students to see engineeringas evolving and interdisciplinary, as a field within the liberal arts (as noted in the

It not only helps them tomake connections between the classroom and the real world, but instructs them in vital skillssuch as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, and team building[3], [4]. Theseengineering “habits of mind” become part of a student’s mental toolkit, teaching them skillsnecessary to solve problems and derive meaning from their world[5]. These tools are beneficialto them regardless of chosen professions, and teaches them to function intelligently andthoughtfully in a modern technological society[4].In addition to becoming technologically literate and educated in the engineering habits of mind,youth must also see engineering as a viable career option.

However, it is generally agreed that wellbeing is amultidimensional concept that encompasses positive emotions and effective functioning amongmany other context specific aspects of the studied population.Within engineering education there has been an increased focus on exploring students'psychological state of mind in recent years. While more studies have focused on undergraduatestudents and investigated their mental health [12], [13] and subjective well-being [14], fewerstudies have focused on graduate engineering students [15]. However, studies conducted outsideof engineering on graduate students indicate that graduate students suffer from mental healthconditions like depression and anxiety at a rate much higher than the

Then, I summarize several themes drawn from the novel’s depiction of VictorFrankenstein that warn against unethical techno-science and that offer a negative model of apossible professional self. With Victor’s cautionary example in mind, students can constructcontrasting possible selves oriented toward values of socially responsible engineering practice.Teaching FrankensteinDiscussions of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein feature prominently in two courses I teach at theUniversity of Virginia, both of which are non-technical engineering courses in STS.

We can learn fromboth the processes that homeschool families have used to access the resources, as well as theresources themselves. This will help us to elucidate the many different options that are availablefor today’s families in supporting the development of their children’s engineering knowledge andskills in out-of-school settings.The preliminary findings from this study raise interesting questions for future exploration. In thecurrent study, we did not explicitly ask the parents about their goals for what their childrenwould learn about engineering.
