Pre-engineering can be taught in the highschools and already is being done so successfully through a nationwide program called ProjectLead the Way (PLTW). PLTW is a non-profit organization that was founded specifically toattract more high school students into Engineering and Engineering Technology programs andhave them succeed once they reach college.This paper will discuss the basic operation of the program, some

The need to introduce green engineering concepts to undergraduate students has become recognized to be increasingly important.1 This need is being driven in part through the US Engineering Accreditation Commission Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria 2000. Based on this criteria chemical engineering departments must incorporate “ethics, safety and the environment” into the curricula. An additional criterion that must be satisfied is to prepare students with a broad education to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global context. In addition, there has been a large amount of

, the argument above would affirm the propriety and desirability ofparticipation from any religious perspective. I’ll speak below from an exclusivelyChristian perspective because that’s what I know, encouraging others to contribute theirown distinctive viewpoints."What are the requisite presuppositions for a robust engineering ethic?" We agree that there’s a need for the ethical, thoughtful practice of engineers; thecapacity of technology for harm is manifest. But the question is begged, “Why should wecare?” A simple appeal to intuition should disappoint us; none of us rely on intuitionalone for our other professional judgments. Why would we then content ourselves withintuition alone as the basis for our moral judgments? It seems that the

As a result, engineers have historically been employed as hired guns, doing the bidding of both political rulers and wealthy corporations.”ivAccording to the Social Summit Programme of Action, “Poverty has variousmanifestations, including lack of income and productive resources sufficient to ensuresustainable livelihoods; hunger and malnutrition; ill health; limited
