Compared to number of studies on the impact of students’ college learningexperiences on their engineering identity, much fewer studies explored the impact ofstudents’ learning experiences in primary and secondary education on their engineeringidentity. Nevertheless, a few existing studies have explored students’ engagement inscience and technology learning activities and how such engagement can affect theirinterest in science and technology, students’ achievement/performance in science, theirchoices of majors, and science identity or STEM identity. For example, Wang & Yao [12] pointed out that the science identity of studentswho actively participated in science and technology

S. jobs are growing most rapidly in areas that require knowledge and skills stemming from a strong grasp of science, engineering, and technology. In some quarters – primarily information technology – business leaders are warning of a critical shortage in skilled American workers that is threatening their ability to compete in the global marketplace. Yet, if women, under-represented minorities, and persons with disabilities were represented in the U. S. science, engineering, and technology (SET) workforce in parity with their percentages in the total workforce population, this shortage could largely be

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

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
