The question posed was what technical and tinkering characteristics engineers deemedimportant and to what extent these characteristics corresponded to the ABET Criterion 3 a-klearning outcomes. To answer this question a volunteer sample of engineering faculty, students,and practicing engineers, who are members of ASEE, were recruited. They were asked torespond to two open-ended prompts on a survey in paper and pencil format and electronically.These prompts were; 1) List the characteristics of someone with good tinkering skills, and 2) Listthe characteristics of someone with

This paper considers the rhetorical nature ofthe engineer’s work and his/her relation to society and offers one view of developing students’sense of civic responsibility through instruction in communication as part of curricular revision.Ethics Instruction in the Engineering CurriculumWhile there appears to be general agreement about the need to graduate students with a greatersense of their responsibilities to society, there is less agreement regarding how this outcome maybe achieved. How do we train engineering students in particular to recognize the role they playin meeting society's needs, to see their technical work as a civic responsibility? So far theanswers have been focused primarily on
