This paper, part of a larger work inprogress by the authors, will expand on the collection methods used in order to inform others ofpossible approaches for understanding the skills learned and pathways taken by a sector of theadult community who embody many of the qualities vital to the engineer of 2020. In addition,by exploring the life pathways of makers, we can begin to see how classically trained engineersrenew their passion for engineering and how adult non-engineers learn and engage withengineering skills and knowledge. By presenting a method for assessing the skills learned byMakers along with descriptive examples of adults

It maps the activities that need to be undertaken to achieve accreditation tothe appropriate level of capability maturity of the engineering program. An engineering programthat has reached level 3 could be regarded as producing competent engineers. While one that hasreached level 5 has documented that it is producing competitive engineers.

By running wires off the coil, students are able to hook the speaker up to a radio andlisten. The activity can be extended to include equations for advanced students. Students mayvary the amount of current and monitor the changes in the speaker’s movement. They shouldthen check if the results match what is expected using the equation of a coil.Assessment MethodologyIn order to aid in the assessment of program outcomes, the Institute participants were asked tofill out an evaluation survey at the conclusion of the Institute.

Triangulation leads to credibilityby using different sources. To assess credibility, different methods to collect data for this studywere used: interviews, observations, and documents. In addition, peer debriefing was used toprovide an external check of the inquiry process, to discover biases, to clarify interpretations, andto discuss possible future directions. Finally, the respondents have an opportunity to review thedata gathered and provide or modify the information.

Thus learning how to write good reports would require extra effort by the students.• Expectations: Many of the enterprise students did not see the need for having to take this class, since they had already been involved in their enterprises for two or three years and believed they knew how to write reports. Other students expected this to be an easy course. Both sets of expectations affected their attitude towards learning

Page 13.569.6One interesting aspect of persons is our ability to give and assess reasons for ouractions.19 When interacting with others, people have the tendency to justify their actions,and we find some justifications better than others. One of the goals of pursuing ethicaltheory is in an effort to make the reasons we offer in defense of ethical verdicts stronger.While it may be unclear exactly what the strongest ethical system would look like, we dogenerally recognize a

start. Today’s engineers must be educated to think broadly in fundamental and integrative ways about the basic tenets of engineering. If we define engineering as the application of math and science in service to humanity, these tenets must include study of the human condition, the human experience, the human record.4When the engineering mindset is complemented with a broader education in the humanities, itbecomes a valuable asset for assessing various views of the world, and greatly informs problemsolving activities. In his book, The Introspective Engineer, Sam Florman writes that the universepresents itself to us as a mystery to be studied and acted upon. Later he adds that “…althoughengineering relies upon science and
