Climate research indicates acontinued student perception of engineering classrooms as relatively chilly.27 Psychological and social factors are essential to the practice of industrial and muchenvironmental engineering; it was not unusual for me to be told (by engineers from the four coredisciplines) that these fields aren't "really" engineering. They explain the higher numbers ofwomen in these fields by the presumably greater interest in the subject matter for thosesocialized in traditionally female ways.

Likewise, ethicseducation is often based on a utilitarian approach, namely – seeking the best possible outcomefor the most people. However, this strategy does not address the need for making ethicaldecisions that impact individuals or conflicts in professional situations.The principles of Aristotelian philosophy continue to resonate with people, even when they havebeen rejected by many of the philosophers of recent times. The ancients recognized the existenceof reality outside ourselves that we must identify and evaluate through a combination of senseinputs and reasoning by our intellect. Specifically

The Digest has reported onnumerous initiatives taken by governments around the world to retain their best scientists,researchers, and educators, in face of the lure of the US (Digest 12 October 2001). TheCanadian government, for example, recently set out tax incentives for keeping Canadian-born scientists at home (Digest 1 January 2001). But while some countries seem still notto get it, and persist in making marginal and defensive moves to prevent mobility,Tanzania’s leaders have demonstrated that they get it: they have instructed theiruniversities to educate the young to be “job creators,” not “job seekers,” thus virtuallymandating the inclusion of entrepreneurship in the education of future engineers

. As in other disciplines, aproxy is a substitute measure, chosen because it is easier to estimate. For example, the floor areaof a house is usually a very good indicator of the final construction cost, but it may be difficultfor the prospective owner to visualize in advance. The number and relative size of the rooms inthe house is easier to comprehend; if such a proxy can be reliably related to the final floor area,then it can provide a basis for effective estimation. In the initial PSP research, Humphrey foundthat program size, measured in LOC, was a good predictor of the total development time. Hethen developed a proxy based on the number and relative size of classes in a high-levelconceptual design for the software product being estimated

To facilitate this type ofcollaboration a process needs to be created to assist all institutions involved.For decades California has provided an impressive and effective community college pathway toengineering. As shown in Figure 3, approximately 33% of all UC and CSU engineeringgraduates in 2008 started their Bachelor’s degrees at a community college (individually, 23% ofUC and 41% of CSU graduates). The community college pathway therefore represents asizeable portion of the engineering pipeline in California. For many students, particularly thosefrom underrepresented groups, this pathway to engineering may be the only practical way forthem to access an engineering

This was of enormous practical assistance. However, it was vital also to respect the totality of our host’s commitments and be able to work independently during our stay abroad. While asynchronous exchange had many advantages, it was not (and should not) be designed to ‘tie-up’ the home faculty member with issues related to his exchange partner much of the day for the full duration of the trip.

In line with thisassumption, our results also suggest that boys have higher levels of interest in mathematics andtechnology, while endorsement does not play a role in this relationship. Why these relationshipsexist is conjecture. However, one of our researchers suggests boys may be playing a protectiverole over girls who like mathematics, science and STEM.

during the decadesleading up to the Internet era. Beginning in the mid-1980s, the field of engineering educationstarted to respond to numerous reports that there needed to be changes made to engineeringeducation. An increased emphasis on synthesis and design, open-ended problem solving,development of management and communications skills, professional development, and career-long learning were all included in this call for change. This response was in reaction to aperceived need to correct a multiple decades long emphasis on engineering science that occurredpost-World War II, tilting the engineering education field away from engineering practice andthe new realities of a global economy that demanded skill sets not emphasized at the time [8
