DepoliticizationA number of authors have argued for the value of understanding the discipline andprofession of engineering as a culture4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Cech,2 expressing this perspective,writes: Engineering, like other professions, is not just a collection of knowledge, skills, and practices grouped into a set of jobs. Professions have rich and historically- rooted cultures that are built into and around their knowledge, skills, and practices. Professional cultures are the sets of beliefs, myths, and rituals that give meaning to the intellectual content and practices of a profession. (p. 69)Cech goes on to argue that integral to engineering culture are its “cultural ideologies,”that is, “ways of understanding society and

Two of these write-in options maybe added to the revised survey before national dissemination (do not assess; in-class discussions).No individuals in this survey were using an individual standardized assessment method; the lackof use of these instruments may point to the fact that many instructors may not be aware of theseinstruments, perhaps due to lack of formal training in ethics instruction. Alternatively, it mayreflect the difficulty of creating standardized instruments that measure students’ knowledgeand/or attitudes toward macroethical issues and/or a lack of faculty confidence in suchinstruments. These results related to assessment merit a deeper

Drawing from the PEARS data,Brunhaver4 showed that engineering graduates who were non-engineering focused four yearsafter earning their degree were different from their engineering focused peers in terms of certainundergraduate experiences (e.g., they were less likely to have participated in an internship or co-op) and level of technical interests. Moreover, while women and men graduates in this samplewere not different in terms of their current position (engineering or non-engineering), they weredifferent in terms of future plans. Women tended to have lower technical self-efficacy andinterests than did men, which helped to explain why they were more non-engineering focused intheir

At the beginning of the term, students described their choice to major inan engineering degree field as an expression of their individual abilities or interests. Forexample, Hector initially reflected how he had entered engineering based on a childhood wherehe would “take things apart and put them back together.” His interest in working directly withtechnology was further galvanized through participation in a series of high school roboticscourses. Generally, several other students identified with Hector’s trajectory. Many

Value is given to (1) usingautobiography in general and techniques such as peer review, videotaping, and ideologicalcritique; (2) having conversations; and (3) looking at activity through theory.
