with her students, inviting community members whowere impacted (many of her students’ relatives) to come present to the class. As a result, the fourth-grade students engaged in the engineering design process to construct and test dam designs withthe community context in mind, grappled with the ethics of engineering, and offered alternativesolutions. This example demonstrates the power of connecting an engineering task to place, localhistory, and community and cultural contexts to increase relevance and importance for students.Other CRED tasks developed by teachers included areas of interest such as: designing a filtrationsystem to improve indoor air quality, developing a severe weather app to be used by teen drivers,creating a model of a

characteristics of high quality STEM integration, including providing“opportunities for students to learn from failure and redesign.”18 Many in engineering educationpromote the idea of teaching it through the habits of mind, or how engineers think and do theirwork.19 These include: “systems thinking, collaboration, ethical considerations, creativity,communication and optimism.”20 Failure, although not explicitly named, is best exemplified aspart of the habit of mind of optimism. Resilient responses to design failure include an optimisticmindset that the problem can indeed be solved or that the failure can be overcome. Theseresponses are representative of a growth mindset, in which students learn from failure andbelieve that growth is a natural byproduct

dichotomy of relevant versus irrelevant, or fair versus unfair, frames the feelings of manyengineers when it comes to their treatment of ethics. Unlike many aspects of engineering ethicslooks mostly in hindsight, not at all with innovation. It is usually seen as a reaction to a crisis.This hindsight is framed by topics that were seen as unimportant, the first pillar of Cech’s theoryof disengagement [17]. The final pillar is prevalent in many undergraduate and graduateengineering departments to an extreme measure. Numerous studies have pointed to the need toweed out the weak students from undergraduate programs. This builds on the very foundations ofengineering education as a vocational degree for the brightest students. This overarching concernwith

Should theuniversity instead not engage in the debate and attempt to influence and moderate the wayuniversities are compared and consequently ranked?The authors argue strongly that universities must attempt to ensure that they are measured andcompared against a set of meaningful measures that captures the full extent of what theycontribute. This is particularly true for engineering and technology education because of thegrowing awareness of importance of the social and ethical dimensions to engineering andtechnology education.Typical Critiques of University Rankings and ComparisonsClearly there have been many well-intentioned attempts at ranking and comparisons.

Criterion 3 Student Outcome 5 [4]). Passow [5]surveyed ~2000 engineering graduates in 11 engineering fields at 2 years, 6 years, and 10 yearsafter graduation and asked them to rank the ABET competencies (a-k in 2012 [6]) in order ofimportance for engineering practice. Practicing engineers ranked teamwork, data analysis,problem solving, and communication skills as the most important competencies in theirprofessional experience. These skills were ranked significantly above the other ABETcompetencies surveyed (math, science, and engineering skills, experimental design, processdesign, ethics, impact, life-long learning, engineering tools, and contemporary issues). Morerecent studies similarly emphasize the importance of teamwork skills [7] as well as a
