Liberal Education/Engineering & Society

GraduatesABSTRACTThere is something universal about obtaining a degree from an accredited university; it is alicense to call oneself educated. In recognizing this certification of erudition, society setsrelatively simple standards that can be difficult to achieve. The graduate must be able to addressdifficult problems coherently, bringing to bear a mixture of knowledge, empathy, skills, andmoral and ethical standards. Within this framework, society allows for specialization. Lawyersare not asked to design airplanes nor doctors to write complex opinions on the meaning of recentacts of Congress. There is, however, an underlying expectation of core knowledge which isinescapable. Any college graduate, for example, should be able to read or write a paper on acomplex

Traditional poverty alleviation design challenges focus on creating solutions toproblems that differentially affect people living in poverty. Five of the fourteen “GrandChallenges”78 of Engineering—make solar energy economical, provide access to clean water,restore and improve urban infrastructure, manage the nitrogen cycle, and advance personalizedlearning—have particular relevance to alleviating poverty. Innovative engineering educatorshave suggested that design for large-scale social issues brings together technical prototypingskills and professional engineering ethics.9, 79, 80 Simulating design in marginalized communitiesallows educators to

The math and science core was also kept intact with the exception that the originalstatistics course taken from Statistics Department was deemed no longer necessary as discussedbelow. In order to ensure that the students still took the same level of math as before, the coursewas made into a math elective. The students now have multiple choices for a third advancedmath course based on their interest including vector calculus, linear algebra, and differentialequations. Previously, the students were required to take two College of Engineering courses,engineering ethics and engineering economics. The ethics course has

In order to achieve these ideal collaborations, seven factors were identifiedas being most important, namely: (1) compatible interests/passions; (2) shared goals; (3)complimentary skills; (4) compatible personalities; (5) compatible work ethic; (6) a sharedunderstanding of rigor; and (7) a desire to learn from each other (see Figure 3).
