IntroductionImproving engineering education is a goal shared by engineering educators, accrediting bodies,government, and industry. Naturally, there are many approaches to improving engineeringeducation, and many aspects of engineering education that require attention and effort. Thepresent paper connects one recently popular approach with a specific aspect of engineering thatis a critical part of making engineering education more relevant to engineering practice.Design is a key component of engineering. Curricula that make it possible for students toexperience one or more major design projects as part of

Here, however, we take advantage of elicitation techniques lessfrequently used in studies of engineering expertise. We see these kinds of investigations as animportant complement to the existing ethnographic and verbal-protocol literature. Each type ofstudy is needed if we are to understand the underlying conceptual models that guide the moment-to-moment thinking and heuristics of expert engineers. The data analyzed was collected as part of a larger verbal protocol study, one part of a 5-year project investigating engineering design expertise across three concurrent activities

Some curricula with an ethics threadeducate students about macroethical issues in later years, such as a third-year course with ethicsintegration at Drexel26. Another way that engineering students may come to appreciate theimportance of social responsibility is via service-learning (S-L) courses, which is the basis forsome first year projects / design courses27-32.An emphasis on social responsibility within engineering may be significant beyond its intrinsicimportance to individuals and society.
