engineering for long, with many of them entering theranks of management within a relatively few years, if not immediately. Yet, theengineering education that most get is generally lacking in any component that educatesthem in how to deal with management issues. Industry is often looking to hire engineersfor its supervisory and management ranks, primarily because the businesses they are in,such as manufacturing, utilities, and transportation, are technologically-based, and theyneed to have managers who understand enough about technology to learn and understandtheir specific businesses. While engineering graduates are the best suited for that, they donot have the education in business and management, particularly in communications andpeople skills

Universities, researchinstitutes, laboratories, scientists, faculty members and students have the most relevant place inthe Timoshenko’s autobiography As I Remember. In his narration, the Bolshevik Revolution,World War I, and the rise of Nazis in Germany are the context through which engineering andthe sciences go forward into a new technological era. Timoshenko also devotes many episodes toexplain his teaching and learning experiences and his vision about comparisons amongengineering curricula in different countries. He taught in Russia, Yugoslavia, and in theAmerican East, Midwest, and West

use theterm socio-technical systems.What James is describing implicitly, if not explicitly, is the way that conceptualizing engineeringsolutions in terms of socio-technical systems ideas requires one to adopt a critical perspective towards thetypes of knowledge claims that must be made in engineering work, and how they are justified. In fact, thesocio-technical systems idea is a compromise between a deterministic, techno-centric understanding ofhow technology shapes society and a critical re-orientation of these frameworks towards the socialconstruction of technology (Hughes, 2021). The socio-technical systems aspect of the course, asexperienced by the student, requires the participants in the course to move reflexively between the

The non-calculus-based courses omit the calculus necessary todescribe the physical phenomena to accommodate potentially lower math skills by those in non-STEM fields. In many cases, the omission of calculus requires assumptions resulting in poorerresults (for example, using average velocity in lieu of instantaneous velocity). Many universitiesalso offer calculus-based and non-calculus-based statistics courses to accommodate differentlevels of math skills generally found in different disciplines. Non-STEM students typically takenon-calculus-based statistics courses, while STEM students usually take calculus
