So there were a lot of these questions, big picture questions. Do we even want to be accredited or will that chain us down?” (Private College Founder) “[The university faculty] saw [the program founder] as being from [a] community college telling them how to educate engineers at a university. We’re a community college, they’re a university. Oh, my gosh.” (State University Innovative Program Founder) “We had department chairs that thought that the program had potential.

to continue to implement time managementtechniques during the remainder of the project. This seeming "disconnect" between the"course" work and the "project" work continues to be a concern to the faculty at LSSU.Despite insuring that "course" assignments are directly pertinent to the team's project,there is sometimes difficulty in integrating the assignments in such a way that thestudents perceive their value to the ongoing project. In subsequent school years, therehas been an increased emphasis on time management skills and the project timeline isnow consulted at each weekly team meeting, so that students will not cease updating thetimeline as soon as the "assignment" is done.

Describing how design issues were resolved on actualprojects by engineers in industry would add a new dimension to the coursework. This sharing ofengineering knowledge would greatly enhance the student’s classroom experience.However, the transition from industry to engineering education was far from a painless andseamless process. Many of the skills developed as an engineer and engineering manager weredirectly transferable to engineering education but others had to be modified or acquired.

noted a certain level of resistance within theculture of the profession toward discussing (and working to address) issues of inequality. Thisresistance comes in part from the professional culture of engineering, the system of meanings,values, norms, and rituals built into and around engineering tasks and knowledge.6, 7, 8,9 Oneparticular ideology within the culture of engineering, the ideology of depoliticization, misframesquestions of inequality within engineering as marginal and largely irrelevant to “real”engineering work.7The ideology of depoliticization is defined as the belief that engineering work should bedisconnected from “social” and “political” concerns because such considerations may biasotherwise “pure” engineering practice.7

Some of us are technological somnambulists.3Engineers have unique opportunities, because of their technical literacy and awareness ofdeveloping technology, to foster and contribute to technical discourse. Value questions,however, are often discouraged within the profession and by employers. Engineering addressesempirical issues: Which material will meet technical objectives?

Yet they often have a huge stake in what happens because theydepend on the program for their livelihood. They have a vested interest in making a reasonablewage, and in having a positive work environment. They also exert a significant impact on theway in which an academic program runs.
