Timing of when these skills are developed, while not a requirement for success,is highly correlated with success in engineering programs.At Texas Tech University, Calculus III is a required course for all programs in theCollege of Engineering except for degrees in the Engineering Technology Department.Success of a “C” or better grade in Calculus III is usually associated

Students should be given sufficient time and opportunity to practice what they learn sothat they can discover and create their own knowledge, where knowledge is defined as that whichresults from use of information for a particular application. To this end students must beengaging in activities similar to the ones they will be faced with in their professional careers.

Engineering Higher Education  Jerome P. Lavelle, Ph.D. College of Engineering, NC State University  Abstract: This paper describes a new proposed model and way of thinking about the process of assessing and evaluating engineering higher education programs for accreditation, and the way that data is used and shared. Proposed is a new construct for formatting and using data collected on the program self study report. In addition, it is suggested that now, 20 years after EC2000 was first designed, it is time to re-design, re-configure and re-engineer our current accreditation processes in light of new technologies and all that we’ve learned in these

Certification tests will then be developed withimplementation planned for fall 2005.Committee membership consisted of K-12 educators, engineering educators, and practicingengineers. The biggest hurdle faced by the committee was reaching a common understanding ofwhat engineering is and is not. The committee agreed that engineering is not the same asmathematics or science, not applied mathematics and science, and not technology. A consensuswas reached to use the engineering method, i.e., synthesis/design, as the basis of the standards.ABET EC2000 accreditation criteria also influence the

Each call for reform“has sought to enlarge the core identity of the engineer from a technician skilled atcalculation and fabrication to a professional member of the wider culture” (Cohen,Rossmann, and Sanford Bernhardt, 2014).

particular, thearchetypal figure of Victor Frankenstein offers students a model of a negative “possible self” thatcautions against rogue engineering practices. The paper analyzes themes from Shelley’s novel asthey were used in courses in science, technology, and society (STS) to foster ethical reflection onthe perils of practicing irresponsible, presumptuous, unaccountable, and biased techno-science.IntroductionMary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is widely regarded as a foundational work of early sciencefiction that cautions against misguided and unethical science and engineering. As such, the novelshould be poised to help engineering undergraduates cultivate moral imagination and acommitment to socially responsible techno-science. Along this line, a
