They learn actively, rather than passively, by taking advantage oftechnology.Traditional construction engineering and management (CEM) education followsthe Cartesian view of mind-matter dualism where the learner and the learningcontext are detached. Under this paradigm, concepts are presented as fixed, well-structured, and independent entities. Learning activities are divorced from theirauthentic context resulting in fragmentation and specialization of courses andeducational experiences. This fragility can be observed in school when studentsneither retain nor are able to utilize knowledge allegedly acquired in previouscourses. These problems are not exclusive to CEM

The fundamental difference between them is that science seeks to understand a universe that already exists, while technology is creating a universe that has existed only in the minds of inventors… Mathematics and technology have a similar but more distant relationship. Mathematics offers a language with which to express relationships in science and technology and provides useful analytical tools for scientists and engineers. Technological innovations, such as the computer, can stimulate progress in mathematics, while mathematical inventions, such as numerical analysis theories can lead

But taken together were they liberally educated? 19What is clear is that the provision of additional subjects whether “tool” or “fringe” is noguarantee of liberal education unless instruction and content are designed with the goalsof liberal education in mind. If those goals are taken from such authorities as Arnold,Newman and Pattison then that means that there is a “cultivation of the intellect”, and afocus on the person rather than engineering. The value to engineering follows: it is not aliberal education if it does not create the space for reflective thought through which aperson can construct and reconstruct their identity.

Engineering design is a multidisciplinary process.The identified process is a result of this instructor’s ongoing industrial involvement and wealthof experience in both engineering and business as a design engineer as well as a financialengineer.
