, but as Tang and Nieusma’s articlepoints out, their society was not immediately supportive of the whistleblowers’ plight. Rather, ittook the advocacy of two, short-lived, dissident committees—the Committee for SocialResponsibility in Engineering (CSRE) and the Committee on Social Implications of Technology(CSIT)—with membership overlap in IEEE to codify ethical principles in 1977. The archivalresearch conducted for these two articles demonstrates that the inclusion of ethical principles inat least two professional codes was a fairly recent addition driven by the need to protectengineers and their professional societies from damaging public relations events. Given theirorigins, it is important that engineering ethics educators view professional

Recommendations forstakeholders are provided based on the findings.IntroductionResearch on persistence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields suggeststhat factors such as role models, exposure to STEM careers, and interests in STEM fieldsinfluence K-12 students toward career choices in these fields. Of these, interests have beenbroadly cited as a particularly important influence on STEM career choices (e.g., 1, 2). However,research focused specifically on underrepresented groups often reports

/Academic Variables Related to Engineering PersistenceThe importance of mathematical achievement and preparation to engineering persistence hasbeen well documented. Seymour and Hewitt [6] posited over two decades ago that if students areproficient in mathematics and science at an early age, then this proficiency encourages them tochoose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors alongwith employment in STEM fields such as engineering [1]. Veenstra and colleagues [7]highlighted key differences regarding factors that predict retention and academic successbetween engineering majors and other majors. They found that high school academicachievement in mathematics and sciences are weighted heavily for engineering majors
found positive associations between internships and career-relevant variables. Theoretical and empirical studies indicated that internships have positive effects on engineering education. Engineering and technology students learn to gain much experience from different approaches [12]. Our findings show that internships also have a crucial effect on subsequent academic outcomes. These effects influence prior academic achievement, and they hold for both the advantaged and disadvantaged [13]. The analysis from a national dataset of 2004 seniors suggests that students who spent more time in a cooperative education program are better at ensuring that a process or product meets a variety of

Consequently, it isnatural for engineering practitioners to continually negotiate multiple, potentially conflictingidentities. These identities may intersect most consequentially in the myriad decision makingsituations faced as engineers scope projects or problems, design solutions, communicaterecommendations, or identify new markets or opportunities for technologies The engineeringdisciplines are manifestly rigorous in their application of scientific principles, and theseprinciples are the ones most directly addressed in undergraduate engineering classrooms.However, engineers are also called to make decisions that

To demonstrate the heatenergy, water was heated in a kettle or in a microwave oven and then the hot water was placed in a mugor cup which was then placed beneath the Stirling engine. After a couple of seconds, the wheel on theStirling engine began to rotate due to the temperature difference. For those whose wheels did not rotatethey were told to give the wheel a slight push for it to gain a little momentum and if the wheel still did notrotate, students were asked to place ice block on top of the wheel to increase the temperature difference.Figure 3 shows students
