Session 2530 Engineering, But How? Alan G. Gomez Madison West High School / University of WisconsinAbstractOne of the most significant labor shortages the United States has is technologically orientedpeople. Every year our government accepts more and more people from foreign countries on workvisas to place them in technology-related fields. Although we are doing more than we have in thepast to give our students opportunities to become technologically literate, too often educators placestudents in front of computers and assume that computer literacy

some of itenforces norms and inequities that work against these ideals. So how do we pivot? How do weelevate these values within engineering education and the workplace, and what are new modes ofengagement, research, development and design that will help us get there?Building a Peace Engineering CurriculumThe Peace Engineering program at Drexel was developed in partnership with the U.S. Institute ofPeace (USIP) and its technology-based spinoff PeaceTech Lab (PTL) with a vision to educateprofessionals capable of identifying challenges and implementing solutions at the intersection ofpeacebuilding and engineering. Our goal is not only to integrate STEM students and researchersinto peacebuilding, but also to embed peacebuilding practices

Experts called for a pause in development, and governments rushed to regulate or evenoutright ban the new technology [4]-[8].The ability of ChatGPT to write computer programs has been of particular concern to thesoftware engineering community. Dire predictions have been made about job losses, counteredby observations of the current weaknesses of AI [9]-[14].Students are, of course, aware of these developments. Several students have told the author thattheir computer science instructors have said that there will be no jobs for programmers by thetime they graduate, and the software engineering program at the author’s institution isscrambling to revise its curriculum so that it is not rendered obsolete.Even though the threat to other

IntroductionIt is no longer debated, but implicitly assumed and often explicitly stated, that leading engineerswill need to be prepared to function in the increasingly interconnected global environment. Itwill be the exception, not the rule, when engineering enterprise can be wholly executed withinnational boundaries. To prepare engineers for the complex, and often mysterious, climate ofinternational design and engineering, a new facet to the design curriculum at Princeton is in theprocess of being developed. An overarching emphasis on global engineering is

-thinking students see courses outside of theirengineering major simply an annoying distraction and something merely required to graduate.By including entrepreneurial thinking within engineering courses or taking a technology-basedentrepreneurship course, students can begin to apply their skill set and think beyond the requiredlearning formatted in a text book/lecture/test engineering course can provide. Some of theseincorporated entrepreneurial skills include: • Ideation • Assessing and managing risk • Understanding the concept of pivoting • Creating a customer-centric value proposition • Understanding qualities of entrepreneurial leadership • Developing cross-team effectiveness • Social capital • Manufacturing
