Strands-Model General Education was adopted to: Promote students’ intellectual development by affording them course-work in the fundamental academic disciplines of mathematics, natural science, literature, history, and social science; and Develop students’ skills and dispositions in six essential areas so that, upon successfully completing the curriculum, graduates ought to be able to: 1. Demonstrate skill in inquiry and analysis, including using a design process, synthesizing information from relevant sources, drawing conclusions, and recognizing implications and limitations (Inquiry and Analysis); 2. Demonstrate insight into their own cultural rules and biases, to have accurate understandings of other

Based on a pragmatic theory approach (1), the paper proposes a pattern fordistinguishing the ‘science’ of computer science from its ‘engineering’ aspects. The paper thenapplies these distinctions to traditional Computer Science knowledge, and explores itsrelationship to

No matter what their major,technology and the work of engineers will have a great influence on every college graduate’slife. To serve their students, colleges and universities must do more to include engineering andtechnology in the general core curriculum. This need has been recognized at the K-12 level, andSTEM has become a cornerstone of primary and secondary education. A college graduate needsthis as well and, as with other subjects, a college graduate needs to know this at a level beyondK-12. Engineering and technology needs to be part of their college education.Including engineering and technology in the general core curriculum will be beneficial to

years earning an undergraduateengineering degree many years ago ethics training occupied only about ten minutes of one classperiod and was not a topic on which one was examined. We believe that ethics should be on anengineering student’s mind from the first day they begin their education. Here is a selection fromthe student papers.“Before I just thought of engineering as problem solving. Ethics never even crossed my mind.… Now I see that there is more to it than just technical problem solving.”“I did not realize how conscious engineers need to be about the implications of their designs toprevent dangerous and unjust situations from arising.”“This course helped me understand that engineering is hard not only because you need to beproficient in

A Web of Science search[48] found that the term empathy (or empathetic) was a much more common idea in highereducation and engineering than compassion, which in turn was much more common thankindness. Papers that resulted from the search on kindness and education were generally relatedto PK12 or medical settings (nursing and medical school). The pre-college papers tended tofocus on teaching kids and students to be kind in their behavior toward peers and more broadly.This had a focus on fostering kindness in pupils among an array of prosocial behaviors,sometimes included with social-emotional education.

report, the Grinter report offers more essential and prescriptive definitions ofengineering which de-emphasize the technical and practical elements. Engineering is definedboth technically and socially. The technical definitions are precise, lengthy, and prescriptive asto curricula, the role and status of faculty, and who should proceed to graduate studies. Socialdefinitions, on the other hand, become more generally divorced from engineering curricula.1966: What should the National Academy of Engineering do about Engineering Education?The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) was founded in 1964 under the umbrella of theNational Academy of Science.

alreadycrowded course syllabi. This approach has its advantages (e.g. that teachers that chose to do thisby their own will are more motivated to succeed), but also risks to end up with an un-sufficientprogress over the entire curriculum. There is also an always present debate over how importante.g. written communication is compared to typical engineering subjects – if more writingeducation is to be included, what should then be excluded? In that perspective it is clear dangerthat even teachers who acknowledge the importance of communication education, and argue infavor of it in general terms, still reason ”not in my course”. However, if it can be shown thateducation in writing/communication not only takes time from other subjects, but in fact

. Given that oneaspect of the identity of an engineering education is being a problem solver, faculty may perceivethese tensions as a problem or conflict to be solved. An alternative view is to see tensions asboth necessary and generative. Tensions are necessary since they are a natural part of humanaffairs and generative in that tensions highlight dialectics from which new truths or perspectivesemerge. From this viewpoint a key element of faculty development is developing a defensiblepersonal philosophy that both lets one navigate and learn from the inevitable tensions that willarise in practice as well as contribute to larger dialogs from which new systems and forms ofeducation emerge.IntroductionIn the United States there is a long history in

. Unfortunately,engineering educators generally find it difficult to foster critical thinking among their students.This work-in-progress paper describes a strategy to inculcate critical thinking ability inengineering graduates. Examples are taken from two core courses in the Materials andManufacturing stream.Several critical thinking models were explored, such as Gibbs’ reflective cycle model, Facione’smodel, Kronholm model, and King and Kitchener’s model. Paul and Elder’s (P-E) model forcritical thinking was found to be more suited for engineering. P-E model provides a good basisfor the way in which engineers think, and is especially suited for CT as it targets issues such ascreativity, design development, and professional and ethical issues.

For instance, thebook Academically Adrift, from 2011, claimed 21st century graduates are woefully underprepared for theworkforce in regards to these “soft skills”[4].Furthermore, these so-called soft skills are all connected to basic interpersonal communication skills,commonly referred to as oral and
