communitywithin the engineering team.Proposed Changes Aligned with the Philosophy of the PersonalWhile the ABET criteria have significant flaws from the perspective of Macmurray’s philosophyof the personal, there are positive features that emerge from the revisions. Several of these havebeen mentioned previously. One additional positive change is the merging of outcomes (a) and(e) since this shift more closely integrates knowing and acting. Another positive shift is theinclusion of language on codes and standards in the preamble. This has the opportunity toengage students into a larger community and consider how personal relations can be extended tothose we do not directly interact with.

(This can be discipline-specific or general for all engineering disciplines) 2. What interests you most about each discipline? 3. What similarities and differences do you notice about the various disciplines?Department faculty retained autonomy in developing their presentations, so there was no pre-determined format. Some departments brought graduate and undergraduate students for aquestion and answer session. Some departments brought faculty and department heads that gavecompelling presentations, and some brought demonstrations of projects students may work on

unfortunately this is turning many of them off thefield altogether. Even though he’s a man, Bob’s comments also echo the “Stemming the Tide”report, which showed that most women engineers leave the engineering workforce not due towork-life balance issues (as is often claimed) but due to a hostile, unsupportive environment17.LimitationsThe narrowness of the work (only three students’ stories are presented here, though many morewere interviewed) is a clear limitation.

other engineering instructors share my sentiment of being a novice in reconciling thesocial and technical worlds of the engineering science course. To us, it is tempting to abandonthe pursuit of reconciling these worlds. Though we may agree such integration would benefitstudents’ professional preparation, the tension of the social/technical paradox might be a placethat the instructor wishes to avoid. I find Palmer’s guidance to be a useful conceptual tool here.We may long to embody and project a coherent integration between the technical concepts weare drawn to and the social world that we live in. Until we find that integration, however, we can“live out the resolution” of the social/technical paradox that accompanies our profession, thereby
