The future of undergraduate engineering majors is in danger of extinction asthe creativity of students’ minds and the experience of hands-on projects are fading in theshadow of outdated textbooks and repetitive theoretical assignments. As hands-on laboratoriesimprove academic performance and increase student success, they need to be updated to servetoday’s world

Thus, the implied demand for a social, environmental andeconomical responsibility of ones own actions characterizes the modern and likewisepractice-oriented concepts of vocational education. In view of this development in the field ofvocational education and taking into consideration the fact that each individual has to be ableto fill a big spot in the larger scope in the flat personnel hierarchies of current concepts ofconceptualizing and producing, a scientific engineering university education is not able toclose its mind to these progressions.This means that: With all due respect to the importance of practice-orientation, meaning thefacilitation of preplanned

Defining integrated STEM education isfurther complicated by the fact that connections can be reflected at more than one level at thesame time: in the student’s thinking or behavior, in the teacher’s instruction, in the curriculum,between and among teachers themselves, or in larger units of the education system, such as theorganization of an

For example, when the Association ofComputing Machinery (ACM) released the Computer Curriculum in 1991, networking was notseen as a major topic area. Networking was not a mass-market phenomenon then, and the WorldWide Web was little more than an idea in the minds of its creators. Today, networking and theweb have changed the way we do business.Other professional organizations, in addition to ACM, such as the Institution of Electrical &Electronics Engineering (IEEE), and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE)are also at the forefront of addressing this challenge.

From the roadways you take to get here, the buildings you take classesin, to how you get water out of the tap civil engineering impacts almost every aspect of your life. Most ofthe time we take this infrastructure for granted until it inconveniences us like road construction causingtraffic flow problems, the sidewalk being closed to fix water lines, or a natural disaster causingwidespread destruction of buildings, cars, roadways, etc.Infrastructure is designed by a civil engineer with an immediate goal in mind; i.e. the client needs a 500car, three level parking garage and this is the spot

As with the engineering education researchers, both groups see a dearth of intentionalefforts to change dominant discourses in the rhetoric and practice of technology cultures, andwere working to establish alternative spaces, practices, and cultures to counteract the dominantframe. A lesson for engineering education researchers to take from this recurring narrative thatsurfaced in interviews, might be to celebrate collectivist instincts, the need and desire forcommunity, and to revisit the passion that brought them to the field of engineering education inthe first place. Further, as the discipline and its researchers establish their own dominantdiscourses and practices, we should be mindful not to lose the connection to doing what

After the collaborators responded to the initiator’s call, the initiator talked to eachindividual separately and discussed the goal in mind and asked for their insights and feedback.The first meeting was then scheduled and all the researchers participated.
