Another study examined, how youngchildren drew cubes, finding that it was not until 7 years and older that children drew a realisticimage of the 3-D shape; prior to this, children drew flat squares (starting age 3) or attempted todraw other sides of the cube albeit in a visually unrealistic way (starting age 4) [24]. While there are many studies on drawing by young children in general, there are fewerstudies regarding drawn plans within engineering or technological design. We share those herethat were accessible with the caveat that these are older studies, the newest being 18 years old.

The National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) [4] and National Science Foundation (NSF) [10] have devoted resources andattention to improving the ethics education of students. This includes both microethics, orindividual responsibilities, and macroethics, addressing the “role of engineers in societalimplications about technology” and the broader societal and environmental responsibilities of theprofession [11].Although accreditation requires some degree of ESI education [7,8], the precise nature is notconstrained and seems to be largely at the discretion of individual programs and their faculty.Lattuca and Stark’s Academic Plan Model [12] describes faculty teaching choices.

design classes have received moreattention. Recent studies of the connection between manual drawing and descriptive geometryinstruction in CAD classes include studies by Utal et al.[4] and Bairaktarova [5] . The benefits offree-hand sketching on engineering problem solving ability have been quantified in previousstudies [6], [7] yet very few engineering programs have returned to teaching free-hand sketching.In 2005 a survey of engineering and engineering technology programs was done while theengineering technology department at UNC Charlotte was developing a new four-yearengineering technology program [8]. The broadly summarized reasons for including handsketching in 40 out of the 77 responding institutions surveyed are: • A necessary skill
engineeringthinking. The visual representation of physical ideas allows engineers to manipulate the ideasand meaningfully add increasing levels of detail. Consequently, facility in interpreting thesevisual communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation.

We have addressed critiques of CXC bydeveloping pedagogy with a cross-disciplinary team of experts from communication andengineering with the goal of improving outcomes advocated for by both NCA and TheAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), but in a context focusing on thespecific needs of the engineering discipline. The goal of the pedagogy was to engage students’personal and professional interests more thoroughly in what was still fundamentally, however, acommunication classroom. Research has suggested that integrating oral communication withdiscipline-specific content enhances learning and allows students to take a more active role in theclassroom because students are

For example, NASA developedthe Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program (SELDP) to provide “developmentactivities, training, and education” to more quickly cultivate systems engineers [Ryschkewitch etal., 2009].Universities have responded to the growing market demand for systems engineers in a range ofways, from adding or further emphasizing elements of systems engineering to existing courses(e.g., capstone design courses; see Chaput [2016]), to creating entire programs in systemsengineering (e.g., Stevens Institute of Technology).

engineering students were able to consider how the application ofengineering technology can cause violence, they struggled to engage with the politics of whatengineering work is valued and who engineering designs serve or harm. This paper seeks to add to this scholarship by producing an analysis of how studentsconstruct various stakeholders in a sociotechnical scenario, with particular attention to how theseconstructions inform students' understanding of harm from engineering in the context of thepresented scenario. The analysis finds that (i) the individual stakeholder constructions do notemerge in isolation and are instead entangled with each other, forming an ecology in which eachconstruction is informed by and informs the others; and (ii
