who received humanities education tend to have better performance” in the workplace,based on pre-and-post surveys given to employers of graduates.In a recent blog post for Science [11] on the reasons to include the Humanities in careerpreparation, and even though writing about science careers, not engineering, Albert brings forthten enumerated reasons, many of which are relevant to engineering practice as well. Reason 2 isthat “[s]tudying the humanities allows you to become familiar with and use the creative ideasfrom great minds outside of science. As a poignant example in support of this argument, considerthe application of art-inspired mathematics to the applied chemistry of an oil-spill clean-up,presented at the Bridges 2012: Mathematics

While the context for theanalysis presented below is centered on NSF grant implementation, it is understood that thesesame elements will be a part of the faculty member’s role in the larger college organization inwhich s/he operates. Prepare Funding Proposals Build and Manage Grant/Project Teams Facilitate Meetings

Facultymembers have been very supportive of accepting the international courses as electives and onedepartment is looking to revise the curriculum to create an ideal semester for the students to goabroad, should they choose to use the semester long exchange as their method of accomplishingthe international requirement.

P1’s Design Clinic team workedon improving a ceramic water filter for households in Nepal. P1 and her teammates travelled toNepal, talked to engineers, NGO workers, potters, and went into local residents’ families to seehow the existing water filters were used. “Users” is one of the key concepts emphasized in thefirst DIS studio course.
