Kirchhoff’s voltage lawis always true despite its obvious violation of Faraday’s law of induced EMF. The danger of thispremature specialization of engineering education becomes apparent when engineers from onediscipline work in teams with engineers from other disciplines and find they have no commonunderstanding of problems outside of their own engineering discipline. 2The authors have collaborated in teaching an advanced survey course on the physical sciencefoundations of engineering to graduate engineering students in an engineering leadershipprogram. The elevator speech on why such a course is needed goes as follows: 1) mostengineering students take all of their basic science courses during their Freshman year, 2) mostof them don’t like those

on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Among all theperformance expectations from these science standards, incorporating high school engineeringdesign requires more effective collaboration between K-12 teachers, higher educators, scientists,and engineers. Without such collaborative effort, K-12 teachers could face tremendouschallenges for the design and implementation of meaningful engineering education lessons thatcould meet the standards. Summarized in this paper are the design and implementation ofmaterials science and engineering educational research offered to high school rising seniors insummer 2019. The summer training program provides students an opportunity to learn the designcriteria for fabricating bone scaffolds and to

Real-life problems are complex, uncertain, instable, unique andparticular, and value-conflicting, and thus a collaboration among people of different perspectivesand expertise is necessary, if not compulsory.Conclusion One of the recommendations that the NAE (2005) made in their 2020 Project was:“Engineering education must be realigned to promote attainment of the characteristics desired inpracticing engineers, and this must be done in the context of an increased emphasis on theresearch base underlying conduct of engineering practice and engineering education.
