Although these results cannot make causal claims,it could also be the case that involvement with EWB-USA alters personality traits due to beingaround like-minded people. More thorough personality research is needed to clarify thesefindings, but the results point to the idea that EWB-USA members may have an expanded visionof who can do engineering based on their departure from the stereotypical engineeringpopulation.These results also showed that the two groups of engineers had equal intrinsic motivations forengineering, which indicates that despite personality differences, students involved with anEWB-like activity held similar interest for the subject of engineering.

The result was astrong push towards providing both intellectual and physical activities (such as dissection) toanchor the knowledge and practice of engineering in the minds of students12-13.Product dissection was successful in achieving this for several reasons. First, it helps coupleengineering principles with significant visual feedback14 and increase awareness of the designprocess15. Product dissection activities spread around the world as a community emerged aroundthe development and propagation of these activities12-13,16-22.

Reason 2 isthat “[s]tudying the humanities allows you to become familiar with and use the creative ideasfrom great minds outside of science.

For example, engineering learningcould only occur after “xin shu yi gui yu chun zheng” (one’s heart is pure and rectified) and “yizhongguo jingshi zhi xue weiji” (training in Chinese Confucian classics as fundamental). Toachieve this kind of foundational moral and intellectual development, it was assumed that theConfucian classics were covered in all levels of schooling, from the small xuetang (elementaryschools) to preparatory colleges and universities. In fact, the policy documents indicated thattreatment of Confucian teachings in elementary schools and universities should be well-aligned,especially in order to rectify human mind and human nature.10 Engineering was more specificallytreated as “yineng” (“artistic
