Indeed, it is surprising to note, in many authoritarian and lesseconomically developed countries, women are actually more likely to enter a math andscience career than in the United States. It seems that the choices young people maketowards careers in the United States are in many ways the result of structural, cultural,and economic forces that celebrate gendered selves and allow

While reputation did not affect a student’s gradedirectly, by working collectively with other students in their guild, students could poolReputation to effectively ‘win’ the game. In this context, the guild with the most reputation at theend of the semester was allowed to choose from several rewards (dinner out with the faculty, theability to choose an experiment the following semester, a small boost to one of their best grades,etc.). Optional tasks were ones that the instructors thought would benefit the students, but inpractice, without incentivization, few students attempted.

Hence, it comes asno surprise that ABET has embraced this criterion for close to a decade.Introduction to Thermodynamics requires that students learn basic, yet complicated concepts,such as determining properties of pure substances, calculating heat and work exchanged during aprocess, and the first and second law of thermodynamics, before they can tackle complexapplications, such as thermodynamic cycles or combustion systems. These basic concepts areconducive to simple, conceptually oriented laboratory assignments that parallel the classroominstruction. Those laboratory assignments are an ideal place to implement

in your desktop computer, examples of engineering areeverywhere. By encouraging children to look more deeply at the artifacts around them and engagethem in the making of such artifacts, they will be developing their “engineering intuition” andlearning to use this "engineering perspective" as their own. In addition, many of us would likeour children to grow up with the knowledge and skills necessary to get along with others, whichcalls for more of the curriculum to be socially constructed. Systems engineering is such apedagogical model that goes beyond seeing engineering as a design contest between groups ofstudents and into a cooperative venture between all students.
