Technological and Engineering Literacy/Philosophy of Engineering

, as Marley said, “Itchanged my view as I said earlier even about like the moral aspect and the ethical aspect becauseI didn’t really think it [engineering] was just about designing and building stuff, but that waswhat I kind of anticipated as like the main part.” Design and construction, for Marley, were notthe main part of engineering; rather, the moral and ethical considerations that accompany designand construction were a primary concern of engineering. Additionally, Reness saw that CitizenEngineering “exceeded my expectations on just learning about kind of, like, world issues.” The role of non-engineers in engineering projects was prominent in student responses.Milburn acknowledged their contribution to engineering literacy: “The

Due to the teamwork required of a true BIMproject, ethics, interpersonal abilities, verbal facility and leadership skills will be very important,as recognized by this Delphi panel.
