The professional skills focus on communication skills, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism; in addition to “awareness skills” as coined by Shuman4 et al, which translatesinto engineering within the global and the societal contexts coupled with life-long learning andthe knowledge of contemporary issues. Moreover, there is a recent trend of what can be called“Add-on” skills that come to complement the core engineering

State University – Pueblo is a regional comprehensive university. All freshmanstudents who are interested in engineering are welcomed to take a broad-based preliminarycourse Introduction to Engineering at the Department of Engineering. It was initially offeredonce a year in fall. Later, due to increasing enrollment, it has been offered in both fall and springsemesters since the 2009-2010 academic year. It meets for two 50-minute sessions each weekduring a 15-week semester. Roughly, the content is divided into two parts: lectures and labs. Theprimary goals of the course are fostering strong study skills, learning about the variousengineering disciplines, and introducing the concepts of engineering ethics in the lecture sectionwhile introducing

Lifelong education can provide a response to the growing job volatility thatmost forecasters predict. Increasingly, people will be changing jobs several timesin a lifetime, and education can no longer be limited to offering a singlespecialization, but must develop each person‟s ability to change course during hisor her lifetime, and to cope with economic and social change. The process ofcultivating a lifelong learning ethic can be a fascinating and rewarding learningexperience by itself for human resource specialists.

Although thereis a body of research on the teaching of engineering ethics and the integration of thesocial sciences with engineering, and that is certainly relevant to examining thetechnology/society interface, I am examining faculty beliefs and processes aroundcurriculum choice with respect to contextualizing science and technology curriculum.After some early reviews of existing literature, I decided that the

At the third class, they are required to submita draft of their reference list for the literature review.
