EmphasisCalvin’s engineering program has always had a design emphasis, first in our pre-engineeringprogram and since 1985 in our BSE program. When engineering education moved aggressivelytoward engineering science in the 1960’s and 1970’s, we kept our focus on design. We believewe have been a leader in having a design emphasis in engineering education. Currently, thedesign focus starts with the first course in engineering, in which students are required to do aservice learning project.

. This is the common measure of diversity. In recent years, many people havebegun substituting the word “gender” for the word “sex” to represent the same concept. Sex isbiological, manifested in anatomy, hormones, and chromosomes, and naturally occurs in aprimarily dichotomous way. (I’ll leave the discussion of intersexuality to another paper.)Following the conventions of gender studies literature, I use the term “gender” to represent theidea which gives meaning to phrases like girly-girl, tomboy, 90’s kind of guy, manly man, bikerchick, frat boy, sorority chick, etc. Gender is socially constructed through national institutions,such as the media and education system, and through local interactions which reinforce certainbehaviors and punish

Pedagogical improvements in engineeringeducation have been facilitated by a large infusion of funding from NSF during the 1990’s,particularly for undergraduate programs.ConclusionIt is evident that there are significant and complex challenges to recruiting, retaining, educating,and preparing a highly diverse student population for not only future careers in engineering butalso life-long learning.

In 1917 the name was changed to the School of Mines andEngineering. In 1946, the two schools were separated and the School ofEngineering was formed with four departments: Civil, Chemical, Electrical, andMechanical. In the mid-1960’s Bioengineering, Materials Science andEngineering, and Computer Science were added. The programs in Civil,Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical and Computer Engineering and MaterialScience and Engineering all hold ABET accredited programs.
