Of the five objectives specified above, many believed the fifth objective: to“provide a foundation for curriculum and individual certification and licensing material” wasgiven much more emphasis than originally intended. Concerned about the direction SWECCwas moving, ACM established task forces to investigate the issue of licensing softwareengineers. The study found an “explicit and intimate link” between the SWEBOK project and“the intent and expectation for software

Through carrying out projects involving both technological and societal dimensions with Worcester sponsors, WPI students will develop a better understanding of how their professional practice will affect community structures and values. (emphasis ours)The second part of this goal statement renders explicit a leap in thinking about the relationshipbetween the project, WPI students, and the community they live in during their college careers.A founding principle of the WCPC is to promote civic mindedness among its

identifying themes [23, 24]. Note that in this study the researchers defined ethics toinclude both microethics and macroethics. Thus engineering ethics, environmental, and societalimpacts (EESI) is a key construct. However, previous research with engineering faculty in highereducation determined that many were unfamiliar with the term macroethics, and somedistinguished between ethics and environmental/societal impacts [25] (reflecting the previousdistinction within ABET between ethics outcome f and impacts outcome h [13]). Teachers mayor may not have included environmental and societal impacts as ethical issues. In addition, ateacher may have answered “no” to incorporating ethics, however provided follow-up examplesthat were believed to be valid

If changes need to bemade in engineering education, it might be suitable to rethink of the philosophy of education ingeneral, and engineering education in particular. In this respect, we need to answer the followingquestions: Is there a philosophy of engineering education that many institutions of highereducation implement, develop curriculum based on it, and monitor its dynamics? If this philosophyexists what is the role this philosophy has played and will play in the creation of

On the job, people’s competency and contributions are evaluated in any number ofways, including portfolios, peer reviews, self-assessments, and final product.”The students in the class were individually asked to examine advantages and drawbacks of thePBL method compared to the traditional method of instruction.

The design took into account all of the issues, with the result being a newlydesign paint machine that is easy to operate. The machine works by capturing the mechanicalenergy exerted while pushing the cart and uses it to charge the battery to balance the powerconsumption from the battery.

The literature strongly suggests that hands-on project work and laboratories are acritical component of engineering education, providing substantial motivation for this work.Several specific features of the project seemed to hinder these educational outcomes, so asignificant overhaul of the project was undertaken to mitigate the technical issues underlyingthese weaknesses. While addressing these concerns, general improvements of the project as aneducational tool were also
