in engineering education and its adverse realizations. Engineering issocio-technical in nature i.e. there is no engineering that is solely technical, and bydichotomizing or picking a side we break up a complex conceptualization into one that is neitherauthentic nor realistic. By sitting with tension as a guiding metaphorical framework for thisstudy, we attempt to break up the dualism that exposes itself in engineering education.Our discussions in this paper are informed by our ontology or sense of being. Such explorationsin ontology are not traditional to engineering. We bring in this construct from the liberal artsbecause of the lack of such a device in engineering scholarship. We discuss: 1) our conception ofthe soul of engineering

In mostinstances, these experiences in engineering design become incorporated into standards-baseddesign courses. In this case, the courses are designated as engineering/engineering technologycourses and the engineering design component is emphasized. Engineering design projects areproblems that may be approached and resolved using strategies and approaches commonlyconsidered to be engineering practices.

change at the atomic and molecular level.It is a central process in materials science and engineering (MatSE) as well as in chemistry,chemical engineering, molecular biology, and any other science dealing with atomic scalephenomena. Therefore, all students of atomic-scale sciences ideally should acquire a deepunderstanding of diffusion, but such understanding has proven difficult to achieve across age-groups and subjects [1]–[5]. One core reason for the difficulty is that it is not obvious how themacro-scale behavior—net movement of particles from regions of high concentration to regionsof low concentration—emerges from random-walk behavior at the submicro-scale. This leads to“levels-slippage” [6] in which a person assumes the behavior at the
