. Specifically, an engineer creates products and processes that can have considerableimpact on human health and life.Engineers that pursue professional licensure are bound by law to practice in a professional andethical manner that protects human health and life. However, professional licensure is pursuedby a minority of individuals in each of the sub-disciplines of engineering. Accordingly, only afraction of engineering graduates seek and obtain licensure. With that in mind, one might ask, ifpracticing, unlicensed engineers are not bound by law to practice professionally and ethically,what is it that compels them to do so? Perhaps the naive answer might be a reliance on thegeneral “goodness” of human beings. Alternatively, one might anticipate that

benefits of engineering classroom demonstrations allfound positive results.5, 6, 7 It is clear that hands-on activities and interesting demonstrations can Page 26.33.2improve student learning as well as increase retention in engineering programs. Since topics in Fluid Mechanics can be seem quite abstract in students’ minds, it seems tobe a course that could especially benefit from the introduction of classroom demonstrations.Educators from several universities have posted lists of fluid mechanics demonstrations on-line,and some of these demonstrations have been used in the author’s classroom.8, 9, 10 The purpose ofthis paper is to present

Page 25.1332.3civil engineering. The last ten years have produced significant progress in in what has beencalled ASCE’S “Raise the Bar” initiative.To maintain the initiative’s momentum, the successful processes of the past and the associated“lessons learned” must be clearly communicated to future leaders and proponents of the “Raisethe Bar” initiative. Much has been learned during the past 10 years of the “Raise the Bar”initiative. Many of these hard-learned lessons and experiences should guide the future directionof the initiative. In this regard, a quotation from Adlai E. Stevenson comes to mind: “We canchart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present.”This is one of several papers presented in
highschool, or high school extracurricular, all of them have a more well-defined sense of socialresponsibility. In some cases, like Travis, the students even connect their sense of SR toengineering in high school although they may not have stated that explicitly. This is important tonote for the engineering education community because these students need to be encouraged tocontinue to volunteer and stay involved in college. Incorporating volunteering, service-learning,and engineering ethics in the classroom could help keep these students interested in pursuingtheir SR and connecting it to engineering. Additionally, service-learning can help students likeTodd to realize that others in their major are like-minded. A sense of belonging and connectionto

practices, appliedscientific and mathematical content, and engineering habits of mind that working high schoolyouth engaged in while they were at work in different locations. Accordingly, the researchquestion guiding this study was: What engineering-related practices, scientific ormathematical content, and engineering habits of mind did high school youth engage inwhile at work? By identifying engineering-related practices, bodies of knowledge, and habits ofmind derived from youth’s workplaces, the purpose of this study was to lay the groundwork forthe development of educational programming which can leverage youth’s workplace-derivedskills and bodies of knowledge toward future engineering careers.
