Why Engineering Education Fails to Protect the Public Interest and What Could Be Done About It Willem H. Vanderburg Department of Civil Engineering, University of TorontoAbstractTwenty-five years ago, our comprehensive study of undergraduate engineering education askedthe following two questions: How well do we teach future engineers to understand the influenceof technology on human life, society and the biosphere? and: To what extent do we teach them touse this understanding in a negative feedback mode to achieve the desired results and, at thesame time, prevent or greatly minimize harmful effects? These two questions were convertedinto extensively tested
different focuses: the first one is from Page 12.779.4the perspective of psychology [15] and the second one is from the perspective of social learning [4].Based on difference methods, the two studies shared similar findings and conclusions in relation to thegendered experiences of studying engineering, in particular, in hard core technology based studyprograms. The following of the paper will present selected findings from the two PhD studies. Theseresults will be discussed in relation to the issue of whether and how PBL environment is gender friendlyin engineering education based on a comparison of the presented results.Findings and
