study at Binghamton University examined how to incorporate compassion into an engineeringethics course[5]. This was integrated with a required practicum in a biomedical engineeringprogram, for which service-learning projects are required for human and/or animals in order toimprove their quality of life. A service-learning paradigm that progressed through three stages waspresent, which are initial charity, emerging compassion, and developing social justice. Studentswere asked to reflect upon their projects to see how student awareness of ethics and compassionwas realized after completion of the projects.Two researchers at Wichita State University (WSU) assessed service learning from reflectionsafter completion of projects, inspired by two

constituencies,which are often in conflict. While industry would prefer engineers with greater understanding ofall facets of product design and development, graduate programs favor students with greaterscientific skills, as thesis and dissertation topics have become more and more theoretical andcomputational in scope.In view of these concerns, the curriculum of the Aerospace Structural Design course wasmodified to include topics related to manufacture of aircraft structures. At present, four lecturesare devoted entirely to the discussion of various design paradigms, such as design formanufacture and assembly, design to/for cost, integrated product and process development, etc.,highlighting the importance of early design decisions on manufacturability

In turn, she may add engineering as a dimension ofher identity [50]. There may also be a reciprocal relationship between a sense of belonging in thefield and the integration of “engineer” into her core identity. If an individual feels that theirchosen profession is a place in which their contributions are valuable and welcomed, it followsthat they will be more likely to see themselves as meaningfully connected to their professionalcommunity.

In other words, do the practitioners just use standard English that could be used in any formal written communication, or are aspects of engineering practice integrated into the grammar of their texts?2) To what extent and in what ways do students’ sentence structures and use of active vs passive voice differ from the practitioners’? To what extent do differences demonstrate neglect for concerns that are important in engineering practice?We answer these questions with an analysis of reports and technical memoranda (tech memos)written by civil engineering practitioners

First, the programsystematically situates “design” expertise at the program’s core, both in terms of students’ expertidentity and in terms of the curricular structure.
