Take Leonardo da Vinci(born 1452) for example, who was equally as great an artist as an engineer. In recent years, therehas been a resurgence in efforts to bring these disciplines more closely together by adding thearts back into STEM education – or moving from STEM (science, technology, engineering andmath) to STEAM (science, technology, arts, engineering, and math). Engineering may give youthe skills to design and build, but the arts will give you the ability to design and build for thehuman condition.This paper describes an

These generic and common knowledge are consistent withthe goal of engineering ethics education. Findings of the comparison also identify lessonsworth learning from each other. Based on the analysis results and the need for globalization,the paper attempts to highlight several key points of engineering ethics educational contents.Due to limited space, the findings which are expected to be helpful to the engineeringteachers and students in engineering ethics

Through an analysis of studentfeedback, this paper identifies two major themes. First, integrating sustainable developmentprojects into the engineering design classroom provides students with deeper insights regardingthe challenges of sustainable development projects. Second, students are able to make a clearerconnection between the social and technical aspects of engineering and sustainable developmentproblems. This paper concludes that introducing sustainable development projects into theengineering classroom that have real-world applications and allow students to

, and CTE (Career and Technology Education). Engineeringcontent is under CTE. Among the participants, CTE teachers indicated that they found the RETprogram most helpful as this was related to what they needed to teach in their pre-engineeringcurriculum. During the RET learning experience, the physics teachers readily found connectionswith some course concepts they teach and what were introduced at the RET program (e.g., finiteelement analyses and robotics mechanisms). A few STEM teachers, however, found it hard tounderstand the materials covered in the morning workshops as well as the engineering researchin the afternoon. Because of different personal and professional interests, some teachers werevery active in pursuing research tasks while
thinking equips students to recognize essential thinking interconnections in the technological world and to appreciate that systems may have unexpected effects that cannot be predicted from the behavior of individual subsystems. Creativity Creativity is inherent in the engineering design process. Optimism Optimism reflects a worldview in which possibilities and opportunities can be found in every challenge and an understanding that every technology can be improved.

StudentsAbstractFormalized professional development programs are taking on increased importance inengineering education in response to the needs and desires of the profession. Today’s engineersare expected to be technologically competent. In addition, they must be able to lead, manage,innovate, and identify and solve problems. In response to these increasing demands on engineers,the College of Engineering at Villanova University developed a comprehensive professionaldevelopment program called Career Compass. Career Compass is a three-year mandatorybearing-credit program. There is an optional fourth-year component. This program has fourthemes: The Engineering Profession, Setting the Stage for Personal and Professional Success,Post-Graduation Career Planning, and
