They have strongbackgrounds in math and science, awareness of their applications in analyzing and solvingtechnological problems, and typically a penchant for “hands-on” activity. The authors of thispaper have been part of a program to motivate engineering students to consider careers inteaching.% How feasible is this idea? Experiences from the City College program and others suggestthat under favorable circumstances, many engineering students might be attracted to teachingcareers. Unfortunately, all of this data is anecdotal. To our knowledge, no systematic

,but engineering literacy among the general public is as well. Promoting understanding about thenature of engineering knowledge is relevant given both goals. Asunda and Hill (2008) studiedthe professional development for tech ed teachers and teacher educators around engineering andobserved that hands on engineering experiences is a key factor of importance to participants inworkshops. Infusing the nature of engineering knowledge in tech ed classrooms should thereforebe centered on reflection on engineering design experiences that draw out and debrief features ofengineering knowledge. This strategy for teaching about the epistemology of engineering hasbeen found to be effective in teaching about the nature of engineering (Deniz et al., 2020

EducationThe common lack of balance in EET programs with respect to the FE examination couldbe improved with minimal curriculum changes. MET students typically take an EETcourse to meet TAC of ABET requirements. On the other hand, EET students are notrequired to take any usual MET courses to meet TAC of ABET requirements. Most ofthe subjects lacking in EET programs would be covered in the core curriculum of atraditional EAC of ABET program of the past. The concept of core curricula seems tohave diminished over the years, as the number of credits (hours) required for graduationhas been reduced. Many current EAC of ABET programs do not cover the full breadth ofthe traditional core engineering courses. Examinees who have not had all of the coresubjects

In the engineering,definitions are not solely derived from mathematical formulations but also heavily rely ontheir physical significance and implications. “The distinction between the concepts of ‘speed’ and ‘velocity’ is such an example. While the former is characterized as a scalar quantity, the latter assumes the form of a vector, including both magnitude and direction. Thus, a profound comprehension of the physical implications associated with these definitions is crucial for correctness.
