With the advent of personalizedmanufacturing and medicine, the technical limitations prohibiting this kind of work are startingto dissolve. Engineering habits of mind must shift to take this into account, and engineeringeducators have a role to play in making students aware of historical and existing biases in modelsand designs so that they do not perpetuate

Some would argue thatindividuals that have earned an engineering degree are in the strongest position to accuratelyintroduce K-12 students to engineering and encourage them to enter the field12. Students that areable to successfully complete an engineering degree from an accredited engineering programpossess the content knowledge to teach STEM subjects at the K-12 level and can help to removethe misconceptions in the minds of K-12 students about what engineers actually do. However,what these students typically lack is pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), a concept thatencompasses not only knowledge of one’s subject matter, but also knowledge of ways

With this in mind, in 2002-2003 the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineeringat the University of Cincinnati initiated a combined five-year BS and MS degree program inEnvironmental Engineering with cooperative and research experiences integrated with theeducation. This program, called the CEE ACCEND (for Accelerated Engineering Degree)Program, will allow our engineering students to obtain a BS degree in Civil and a MS degree inEnvironmental Engineering in a five-year time period

It is apparent that some shifts that have happened may have been due to students’perception changes. For instance, due to the sense of “self flagellation” felt in theclassroom due to human suffering, and engineers’ precipitation to that plight, a sense of“whistle blowers attitude” prevailed in the classroom as the responsibility of whistleblower and heroism prevailed over the young mind. Nothing more can be predicted,except that the students were positively affected by the design failure episode.* HUMANMETRICS OF THE ETHICS CLASS Jung-Typology Post-Test Averages of the class INFJ Introverted Intuitive Feeling Judging

us to think about as many problems that we would encounter as we could. Knowing where most of our problems would be caused us to brainstorm about how to solve those problems. Our brainstorming led us to the Internet and other sources such as facility services and animal experts to get more ideas and to polish up or throw away the ones we had. This project showed us how engineering works and it actually stimulated our minds. This is a great way to learn when compared to reading the same sort of thing from a book or mindlessly working problems over and over again.* Overall, I enjoyed and thought that the tiger project was a good idea for this class. I think this was a very difficult project though

A truly integrated engineering and oral communication course has not previouslybeen thoroughly assessed.Complimenting previous work in CXC, identity-based motivation theory describes motivationand goal pursuit, explaining when and how individuals’ identities motivate them [19], [20]. Thetheory suggests that people prefer to make sense of situations and act in identity-congruent waysconsistent with their self-perceptions. This happens in a context specific manner, where thecontext shapes what identities come to mind.
