There was a general attitude that outreach was not “technicalenough” for engineers and the benefits of community service were not apparent enough tostudents; (3) it was hard to train mentors that were capable of teaching science and engineeringconcepts to a younger audience.We believe that community service builds strong, empathetic leaders.

In thinking about these two incidentswhich this author saw as very problematic, remembrances of the way engineering economytopics were treated in other courses taught were brought to mind.

These include thehabits of “Be Proactive”, “Begin with the End in Mind”, and “Put First Things First”.3 Thepurpose of these habits has the student looking at themselves and evaluating their trustworthinessas a person. Emphasis is placed on the need for them to be true to themselves and to personallyfollow certain guiding principles in life in order for others to choose to follow them. This isessentially an “examination of conscience” coupled with reflection and insights on formulatingaction plans to increase their trustworthiness.

Environmental Science.IdeologyEngineering education is, for the most part, limited to distinct and traditional areas ofstudy. With the advent of ABET 2000 criteria, there is a renewed interest in developinginterdisciplinary engineering curricula that focuses attention on the impact of engineeringon people, society, and the environment. Since Sustainable Engineering addresses someof these issues, this field seems to be a natural choice for curriculum development.With this in mind, our primary goal is to improve the quality of engineering education byintroducing experiences throughout the engineering curriculum that deal with sustainabledesign. These experiences can be curricular or extra-curricular. In some instances, wehave developed green engineering

As indicated by the data above,incorporating visual supplements help to reduce confusion, while making the material moreengaging and interesting to the students.Accommodating Learning NeedsOne final and important theme that emerged from the study is that the visual supplements servedto accommodate student learning needs. Research has indicated that all students learn and makesense of material differently and that it is vital for educators to be mindful of the diversity oflearners in their classroom

We first ran bivariatetests (t-tests) to see if the values of our four dependent variables differed by LGBQ status, TGNCstatus, and STEM major. We then ran a multivariate regression to test all of these threeindependent variables together, controlling for a set of college experiences known to relate toscience and engineering identity. The first four t-tests compared the four dependent variables—interest, recognition as ascientist, recognition as an engineer, and performance/competence—by whether students areSTEM majors.

Turnover is thevoluntary cessation of membership in an organization by an individual who receives current orfuture compensation for participating in that organization (Mobley 1982). Turnover has cognitiveindicators that predicate eventual departure. Chemiss (1980) defines burnout as “a syndrome ofinappropriate attitudes toward others and toward self often

A challenge in formulating the design projects is that first-year students lack technical sophistication. With this in mind, thefirst set of seven design projects was developed in conjunction with Engineers without Borders, involving relatively low-techengineering solutions that would benefit disadvantaged communities in developing countries. The remote setting also emphasizedthe importance of understanding the “soft” side of design.

The interpretation of why the modern engineer is viewed the way he is has beendiscussed in multiple venues, but the work of Bix takes a philosophical approach. He argues thatduring and after World War Two, the genesis of the engineer as product became paramount. Oneway he supports this is through the development of the modern engineering pathway – aprecursor to the often discussed pipeline problem in today’s engineering colleges.

For instance, Craig, who hadworked with EWB-U for nearly 3 years, noted how his first summer trip was focused ondesigning and implementing the system. The second year was focused on design changes,implementation, and initial assessment of the system. The upcoming trip was focused onimplementing changes based on the 2nd year’s assessment, and conducting further assessment ofthe system.

BracketEngineering DrawingsAs stated earlier, both groups of students were able to generate solid models as part of the designprocess. When it came time to generate a set of engineering drawings, such as the assemblydrawing shown in Figure 8, the ME students failed to produce them. A complete set ofengineering drawings is a required element of the design report. It quickly became clear that theME students simply did not have an understanding of what was required, that a set ofengineering drawings need to be fully dimensioned, including the bill of materials, specificationof processes (e.g. heat treatment), etc. The ME students were also unfamiliar with assigningcritical dimensions with the design and function of the part in mind. They also did not seem
