As a result, our engineering degrees are designed as four-year curricula that startwith Calculus 1 and General Physics 1 in the fall of the first year.In 2013, we were awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate 10K+ Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Talent Expansion Program (STEP) grant to assistwith increasing the retention of at-risk engineering students (Jones et. al., 2014; Jones et. al.,2015). At the University of Portland, the majority of engineering students who fall into this at-risk category are those who start the first year in pre-calculus based on a Calculus 1 readinesstest that they complete during the summer before their first college semester.

I can tell that NAE is describing engineers as possessing technical knowledge that isbecoming increasingly intertwined with society. This seems logical and is somewhat on trackwith my current perceptions of technological growth. As technology makes its way into morefacets of daily life, engineers should naturally be expected to engage deeper with society becausethey have the knowledge and responsibility to create and implement technological solutions.
