technology. In contrast, colleges and universitieshave a long history of prestigious theoretical academics. As engineering moved into colleges anduniversities after WWII, naturally the discipline became more theoretical and academic and lesshands-on. Even today engineering programs focus heavily on advanced science and mathematicstheories. However, by the 1970s industry started to complain that graduating engineers couldn’t“do anything” [8]. They did not have the teamwork, creative or communication skills that theyneeded to design new technology. During the 1980s and ‘90s, new hands-on design-basedcourses began to appear. These became the “Freshman Experiences” and “Senior DesignCourses.” These classes focused on the design process, creativity

Clearly, one must apply this typeof assignment with care, but it can be an extremely valuable learning experience as acomplement to traditional homework assignments. Unfortunately, it is difficult for oneperson to repeatedly generate the volume of resource material required for a real casestudy.

Both passages suggest thatrepresentation as a means of effective communication may have inherent problems.In a broader sense, science and technology routinely rely upon visual representations toefficiently communicate concepts and summarize information. By “representation”, it is meantthat some visual symbol (often simple in nature), diagram, or other communication device isemployed to represent or model a more complex “real” object. Often the represented object is infact “real”. For example, a mechanical engineering text may present a simple diagram intendedto represent an actual pump (see Figure One).

Rather thanacknowledging the personal values and material realities of students, engineering social practiceshave been characterized by the lack of acceptance of difference and an emphasis on academicsurvival [7], and the importance given to work that produces capital and material results [8].Thus, the Discourse created around engineering—the things that are valued and acknowledged—may not align with students’ personal values. Nonetheless, these Discourses may perpetuate theidea of how students see themselves as future engineers and how they may want to enact theirpersonal values.In an attempt to challenge students to critically reflect on their own personal values as well ashow they envision
