The primary school communityhosts the traveling teams while they are in country which requires significant organization andfundraising. Munjiti had agreed to host the travel team for a second travel season as a result ofthe failed borehole. The community and the students shared the responsibility of recoveringfrom the failure.At MSU, several actions occurred as a result of the lessons learned that strengthened theorganization: 1) the dry well was presented to the broader organization as a challenge toovercome and, 2) the dry well raised questions about the assessment process (in particularreviewing the hydrogeological surveys), and the borehole contracting and drilling

also able to add their own insight.After reviewing some of the principal topics of the course, students self-formed teams using a“speed-dating” process to identify others with whom they shared interest and felt comfortable.During one class, students were given two minutes to move from classmate to classmate,discussing their own interests and recording the names of those with whom they felt theyconnected. Lists were compiled to create eight cross-disciplinary teams with students of varyingbackgrounds but who shared a common interest or shared comfort.These self-selected teams then were tasked with developing a clear research question to answerthroughout the course of the semester. Examples of questions that were researched include: 1) How do

Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

. From the National Assessment GoverningBoard (NAGB), engineering literacy is “the ability to solve problems and accomplish goals byapplying the engineering design process.”1 Or, from John Heywood, it “requires that weunderstand how individual’s [sic], organizations and society interact with technology, and thisrequires an appreciation of the values we bring to that understanding.”2 These definitions worktogether to provide a fuller notion of engineering literacy, as recognizing the fact of it as well aswhy it is necessary give us reason and means to becoming engineering literate. Adapting from definitions of technological literacy, from Gramire and Pearson,engineering literacy is, at its core, a broad appreciation of what engineering is

We hope todevelop these perspectives further in future work.Case Study 1: Why Tom argues that engineers aren’t responsible for the negativeconsequences of drone warfareTom had written his STS capstone project on the dehumanizing effect of autonomous warfare onsociety. While describing his experience in the STS program, he mentioned that the capstoneproject was the most enjoyable and productive part of the program for him. In his projectpresentation, he concluded that drones “will dehumanize society ultimately” and “make us lesssensitive to war” because the drones have cameras on them which provide a close-up view ofwar and death all the time. Tom mentions how soldiers can remotely kill using the drones andthat

, prospecting via targetedemail, presenting the couple as a package deal, and balancing career with family responsibilitiesThe National Context for the Dual-Career Job SearchDual-career couples are increasingly common in the workforce in the United States.1 This trendis applicable to engineering in general, academia in general, and by extension to STEMacademics in particular. Recent reports demonstrate these trends and their impact on the STEMacademic job seekers and their partners.Within engineering, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Talent Council surveyedmembership in May 2011 and found that about half of all petroleum engineers were part of adual-career pair. In a December 2011 follow-up survey of members aged 45 and younger, theyfound that

The following is a short list ofsome challenges that we have discovered and the corresponding approach that we use to mitigatethe challenges. Many of these are corroborated in the literature as discussed in the Introductionsection of this paper. Here we consider them collectively and concretely. 1) Challenge: Students have varying needs for encouragement and prodding. Some have low confidence. Others do not yet recognize the significance of poor study
