how best the curriculum might be changed, tobetter meet this goal. Given Mina’s criticism of engineering students that they are nottechnologically literate, higher education might begin with a general programme of liberaleducation as suggested by Heywood. That model through problem based/project learningprovides a range of contexts that, should in principle, deal with the problem of control indifferent contexts. But, as Cheville recognises this is becoming increasingly difficult becauseof the tension between the increasing gap between technological and educational capability.He suggests that we should all master some (rather than many) aspect(s) of episteme andtechne, and we should learn to teach that aspect within “communities in which

PD (professional development) experience took place in December. I created a unit to team teach with our 8th grade science teacher, Holly. She was very excited about the experience. I shared the lesson plans with her and secured all necessary materials for the unit. I taught the first class and then we team taught the next 2 classes and then she taught the last class on her own. She felt confident by the 4th class. My second PD experience took place in May. I shared BD (another rural teacher in program)’s MagLev unit with Holly… I told her I would help her in anyway except I could not be there to teach the unit… We are planning on meeting this summer to plan a life science unit and maybe more

lead women to think that they are not a fit forcareers in engineering. The authors describe several ways in which women have differentexperiences from men, particularly in confronting sexist environments or supervisors. Inaddition, particularly for women, the authors write, a boring or mundane internship can leadstudents to question whether they belong in engineering at all.The accounts presented in this paper add to this story by highlighting the experiences of studentsat and after graduation. One caveat, however—our sample is somewhat different from Seron etal.’s in that they followed engineers through their undergraduate experience whereas we selectedengineers at career launch (the end of or shortly after their undergraduate experience).

through a “quality assurance” regime. To provide a flavor of thecurrent approach, faculty are required to specify the number of hours students need to spend tolearn specific content; academic credit as well as faculty course loads are then assigned usingthis measure, even as the specified learning outcomes provides the basis for determining whatdegree programs students are qualified to enter at the start of the second cycle. This means thatEurope has embraced a learning outcomes regime far more extensive than anything required byABET EC 2000’s accreditation protocols.6As an institutional historian and an ethnographer of educational institutions, we have reason tobelieve that the changes brought about by the Bologna Process will not occur all

affairs organizations. Organizational structures for student support services inuniversities have been studied for many years, and tend to be updated periodically as newgenerations of students (and parents) arrive on campus with new expectations about supportservices. The structural model for these services is highly centralized within ODOS at ourinstitution. ODOS oversees student programming as well as residence life, Greek life, and othercore services; they also provide routine support to students in need. The overall variety instudent affairs organizational models is staggering[5], and our institution fits neatly intoManning et al.’s “administrative-centered traditional” model, specifically the “functional silo”model.

entrepreneurship projects are constructed primarily in polysemous, contradictory terms. Students largely perceive empirical reality from secondary sources and superficial immersions in “local culture” that average four to eight weeks at a time. As an initial step in the reproduction of the ideology of humanitarian engineering/service learning, a series of markers are argued to constitute certain “facts” about the “third world” (a term used by engineering educators as recently as 2008). Subsequently the third world denizen(s) appears to stand as an abbreviation or, shorthand for a disparate constellation of attributes identified by outsiders visiting from the developed world. This results from a series of markers that apparently speak of

description of situated learning, Greeno et al. 32 describe knowledge as,“distributed among people and their environments, including the objects, artifacts, tools, books,and the communities for which they are apart.”32 This is nearly identical to Newstetter’s 8paradigm shift description of student learning in engineering design teams. This environment isalso consistent with Salas et al.’s 17 integrative model of team effectiveness. In describing thetheory, Salas et al. reference team leaders (plural) not team leader (singular) and describe howshared cognition affects leadership and vice-versa. Within the context of engineering education,this situated learning environment has been described by Johri & Olds 33 as a promising constructfrom the

For example, teachers, pilots, and doctors must all hold paramount thehealth and safety of the individuals in their charge, but among them only doctors must dedicatetheir work to the promotion of these individuals’ health and safety. The American MedicalAssociation’s (AMA) Code of Medical Ethics states that physicians are obliged to provide“competent medical care, with compassion and respect for human dignity and rights.”4 TheAmerican Bar Association’s (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct urge lawyers tofunction as “representative[s] of clients, [officers] of the legal system

at the University.Many students measured this lack of course opportunities based on Advanced Placement (AP)options at their home high school. Of the seven participants, students reported between one andseven AP courses at their high schools, which they felt was less than the other students in theircourse of study. Even at the high end of this range, Student A mentioned: “So I guess, also partof that is the classes that we can take, like, the opportunities, because, you know, we only hadmaybe six or seven AP classes.... But then I talk to people that took, you know, 10, 12, you know,even more.” Student D noted that his school only had one teacher qualified to teach AP courses:“We don't have a lot of AP courses and [Teacher]’s, the only one
