Ajzen’s theory of planned behavior, behavioral intentions, such as plans to major inor work in engineering, are informed by three factors: (a) attitude toward the behavior, (b)subjective norms, and (c) perceived behavioral control [5]. Ajzen defined attitude toward thebehavior as the general disposition toward performing a particular behavior; thus behavioralintentions serve as proxies for motivations. In general, the magnitude of a behavioral intention istheorized to correspond to the likelihood of behavioral performance.Ajzen recognized that general dispositions toward behaviors alone are poor predictors ofbehaviors. Thus, he added the concepts of subjective norms and perceived behavioral control toaid in explaining additional variation in
(a is to b, as x is to y). Most often, we encounter analogy as a form of reasoning (“analogical reasoning”) aimed at persuading an audience. For example, a common refrain in U.S. political campaigns involves variations of the following analogy: “My opponent is a Democrat, and Democrats raise taxes. I’m a Republican, and Republicans don’t raise taxes. So vote for me and I won’t raise your taxes!” In engineering, analogical reasoning is a common strategy during the design and iteration process. Analogical reasoning, “a form of inference that allows us to derive implications from single cases even when we do not know all the factors involved,” enables engineers to make comparison-based predictions [33]. For example

Informal discussionswith some selected students provided additional insights.Key findings indicated that future construction career role preferences were: (a) Project Manager(MPCRS = 8); (b) Superintendent (MPCRS = 7); (c) Real Estate Developer and Graduate Student(MPCRS = 6); and (d) Estimator / Inspector (MPCRS = 5). The reasons construction students gavefor preferring the project manager and superintendent roles included high salaries, opportunity tolead, love for authority, prior experiences, internships, role models, management skills, hands onwork, and working outdoors. The study showed that key reasons for students’ pursuit of a CMdegree included

large fixed-wing UAS, known as theMeridian, was developed using Advanced Aircraft Analysis (AAA). The Meridian is a 1,100 lbUAS that was designed, manufactured, and flight tested by the KUAE department. The dynamicmodel of the Meridian was investigated over a broad range of Mach numbers and flight altitudes.The dynamic model for the UAS was verified with actual flight tests [14]. Figure 2: Dynamic Modeling of Meridian UAS (Ref. 14)b) Effects of Winglets on Small Unmanned Aerial SystemsAlthough the benefits of winglets on the fuel efficiency, takeoff, and climb performance of largetransportation aircraft have been extensively investigated and documented, their impact on smallUASs have not been widely modeled.

distinct from and, we argue, secondary to how individuals are orientedtoward ethics generally. Frameworks emphasize how individuals value, in terms of the practical rational andmotivational aspects of decision-making, while foundations of ethics emphasize what individuals value, orhow value priorities are structured for each individual. In the context of engineering, you might imagine ascenario where an individual engineer approaches a problem X with a certain implicit value orientation (callit A). A second engineer approaches that same problem X with a different value orientation, B. Aframework-based approach to engineering ethics might help us understand that these two engineers maymake different decisions, but they do not – and cannot – help us
