I refer to this particularchallenge as humanizing the technical content of signals and systems. Specifically, I describe thesignals and systems course and how I structured content and assessment plans to create space forhuman values.

. Page 11.768.21. IntroductionIn recent years, there has been a call to integrate more of the so-called “soft skills” into theengineering curriculum, including written and oral communication, time management,teamwork, and leadership1. To be a successful engineer, these skills have been found necessaryby engineering industry. Introducing core courses to the engineering curriculum (e.g.,humanities, history, social sciences, communication courses) has been effective in alleviating thelack of necessary “soft-skills.” Unfortunately, the classroom is not always the best place to learnand practice these skills. Therefore, innovative techniques and out-of-class learning experiencesare paramount to the engineering curriculum. They allow the student a

Numerousstudies revealed that the engineering curriculum of today still does not provide the foundationnecessary to ensure the engineer’s success in the 21st century. In the past, the skills workersacquired would serve them well for decades. In the 21st century, however, an engineer’s successor a company’s success will be measured against how well they can adapt to new conditions andtechnologies. Thus to remain

The kiln wasmanually adjusted to hold a temperature of 1000⁰ F-1500⁰ F for at least 5 hours. Thissuccessfully vaporizes the plastic hook and foam sprues. Too high of a firing temperature or toolong of an exposure can begin to degrade the integrity of the plaster-of-paris mold, causingcracks and fragility.Casting can begin after the molds cool or while still hot if care is taken to handle the hot moldssafely.

These topics include Energy Conversion (TFSE IV), Fans,Pumps and Compressors (TFSE III) and Refrigeration and HVAC (TFSE III/IV).One disturbing trend shown in the afternoon exam results (see Figures 2, 4 and 5), although thestatistical significance might not give the complete picture, is that the scores tended to declinefrom 2004 to 2005. This trend is not shown in the morning exam results (see Figure 1).

The most commonresponse was “Do not copy someone else’s work” and a couple of honest individuals stated thatthey had “no clue” what constituted an official definition of professional ethics. One otherstudent took a stance that professional ethics wasn’t really part of the academic program neededfor preparing for the workplace. It’s also interesting to note that most students focused on thenegative aspect, as in listing the things not to do, as opposed to having an overall philosophy ofwhat is entailed in behaving ethically.

A team ofstudents works together, combining the topics learned during their undergraduate coursework tocomplete a substantial design project. Design courses can be uncomfortable for many studentsbecause of the open-ended nature of the requirement, leading to many questions such as “Are weon the right track? Do I have the right answer? Are we approaching this the right way?” Due totheir unique experiences, student veterans in engineering are well positioned to enable theircohorts to overcome these challenges.
