, American Society for Engineering Educationengineers to develop concern for public welfare. In fact, increased dependence ontechnology by much of the general public coupled with little understanding of it actuallyincreases the engineer’s responsibility and increases the need for engineers to take thepublic welfare seriously. It is a matter of responsible citizenship in the communitieswhere engineers live and work. The mental habit of placing the needs of others in societyin clear view and acting to assure public welfare is a matter of character development.As engineering educators we are responsible to assure technical competence, but we arealso responsible for character development on a professional level. The question is,where do we assure that

In this same speech the President talked about the fact that less than 60% ofstudents seeking undergraduate degrees in engineering persist to graduation. This fact was usedto highlight the need for federal support for programs aimed at reforming science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. This comes as little surprise to engineeringeducators who have been working for decades to identify and address the reasons students leavethe STEM disciplines2,3.Much of the research on increasing persistence in engineering focuses on freshmen studentsbecause most

semester, themajority of students in EDSGN 100 are introduced to engineering design through an 8-week longdesign challenge of the instructor’s choosing. During this challenge, instructors lead studentsthrough the problem definition, customer needs identification, concept generation, conceptselection, prototyping, and iteration phases crucial to engineering design. In the course’s currentform, these steps are further augmented by the inclusion of six educational modules (“World ClassEngineer,” “Professional Communication,” “Innovation Process,” “Making,” “Seeing the BigPicture,” and “Grand Challenges”). However, as the modules were created after the majority ofinstructors had established their preferred design project(s) for the first 8 weeks, the

A looming question that remains is whether this result can be replicated in engineeringdepartments and classrooms with a less diverse student body
