Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering
.3 Though not anexhaustive comprehension, engineering literacy develops citizens through their participation in aculture and society that depends on engineering projects. Engineering literate persons functionfully within such a society, participating in engineering projects not only insofar as engineeringtraining is required, but also in recognition of the broader social impact of those projects. In previous work in engineering literacy, we identified four major factors as significant inself-assessments of engineering literacy: Basic knowledge of engineers and engineering, Impactsof engineering on human life, Thinking and acting like an engineer, and Basic skills in the use oftechnology.4 We used these factors to develop a survey that

The project leverages thedepartment’s small size and close ties with industry to create a culture of “Engineering withEngineers.”This paper summaries the current status of the five-year project and is an updated version of theNSF Grantees Poster papers presented at the 2018 and 2019 ASEE Annual Conferences [1], [2].The project background and objective are

The students’ lab experiences begin with structured lessons plans regarding analogand digital components and culminates with an open-ended project where students are tasked withdeveloping a robot racer to compete with other students. During the course, students beginprogramming with MATLAB to reinforce engineering programming concepts and transition tousing C programming to implement an embedded solution.

appreciate the need for all that math and science, when theirinterest is to do engineering. Students who survive to the senior year (nationally, about half theinitial freshman class) are then asked to synthesize all that they have learned in a design project,which requires teamwork, project management and communication skills, as well as the abilityto see the world from a broader perspective. Note that they have spent the previous three yearslearning to focus on details of ever-increasingly narrow topics, with an strong emphasis onindividual achievement. It is no surprise that many students have difficulty adapting to the morerealistic nature of work in the senior design course.The Tagliatela College of Engineering at the University of New Haven

SMD is a major step change in offshore oil and gas drilling, and it wasrealized in the very early stages of the JIP that education and training for everyone involved inSMD would be essential for success of the project. In SMD, a set of fluid pumps are placed onthe sea floor to lift the drilling fluid from the wellbore annulus to the surface via a return line,reducing the pressure exerted on the wellbore by the drilling fluid from the sea floor to the

In the class project, students participate inneed-knower identification and recruitment processes. In this preliminary study, we ask: what canstudents learn through this process? Given only a small handful of student groups produce aphysical device that can be given to the need-knower at the end of the term for daily use, we ask:how do students portray this expectation?
