Not only are significantproblems confronting a vast number of people under-served by engineers, future technologyinvestments will be mainly outside the States1.

Faculty SurveyThe survey focused on two main topics, service learning in engineering education, and aspects ofbeing an advisor. Nearly 100 responses were gathered; response rates among EWB-USAadvisors were much higher than those for ASME and ASCE, 30% versus 6%, suggesting generalinterest in the subject. Among respondents, nearly 40% of engineering colleges have servicelearning courses (Figure 1); most engineering faculty though admit to using an informaldefinition of service learning, so these courses may better be described as

Among the general population (all ages), the use of online social networking is highlyprevalent, with the core age group of interest to most engineering programs, persons 18 to 29years of age, showing particularly heavy usage (see Figure 1). It should be noted that the chartsshown in Figure 1 represent the percentage of internet users reporting the use of socialnetworking sites, rather than the percentage of total persons surveyed. It is thus clear that the useof social networking sites is very heavy among college students.

Style of instruction aside, high school science and math courses rest on afoundation of relatively well-defined content; contrast this with Koen’s definition of theengineering method as “the strategy for causing the best change in a poorly understood situationwithin the available resources”1. Even retreating from this abstract definition and focusing onmore familiar territory such as electrical or mechanical engineering does not necessarilyilluminate the fundamental engineering content these disciplines share.
