In contrast, the definition of engineering design by AccreditationBoard for engineering and technology (ABET) is provided: Engineering design is theprocess of devising a system, component, or process to meet the desired need. Extensivediscussions on the two definitions are conducted in class with examples of engineeredproducts such as razors, computers, and automobiles. Importance of iterative nature anddecision making of engineering design as well as the roles of design objectives andcriteria to implement and evaluate the design are discussed.

We maintain that the class described can be tailored tomeet a General Education requirement at many institutions. The course also is well suited foraddressing the ABET expectations that students understand the broader impacts of engineering.Practically speaking, it is our claim that energy is also an excellent topic for extending STEMeducation into the realm of social, cultural, economic, environmental, ethical, and other domains.Energy is clearly a subject for scientific and engineering study

Interpreting large-scaleconcept maps is difficult however, due to the user’s cognitive limitations (Section 2.3). Thesecognitive limitations lead to problems learning with large-scale concept maps. The authors arecurrently exploring ways to mitigate the problems associated with interpreting large-scaleconcept maps using interactive digital technologies. Doing so will unlock the potential of large-scale concept maps as learning tools and enable the creation of concept maps that connectinformation throughout an entire engineering curriculum (Section 2.4

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs
