by Non-Engineers Systems Figure 1—Nine Issue FacetsCivil engineering is not intentional about educating students to become leaders in society, and itis precisely the quality of strong leadership that must distinguish civil engineering in the 21 stcentury. Leadership is a complicated notion that includes the art and science of providingdirection and vision to an organization, communicating that direction, and motivating others tobuy-in and contribute to the realization of that vision. Leadership can be based on, but is not thesame thing as, technical expertise. Civil engineers are unquestionably leaders in the technicalaspects of designing buildings, public works facilities, and highways. But few

However, naming fieldslike nanotechnology and biotechnology appears to name strengths not weaknesses of the U.S.Nevertheless, there are signs that many in the engineering education community in the UnitedStates are becoming alarmed about the growing strengths of competitors in the global economy,particularly in Asia. For example, a recent report by the National Academy of Engineering, TheEngineer of 2020, stresses the impact of globalization on the practice of engineering and the needfor U.S. engineers to focus on innovative and creative aspects of the profession to be globallycompetitive.4 This concern is being taken further with the new NAE report Rising Above theGathering Storm, 5 the name apparently being a

Often, communication is one-way from the leader to the followers. • Selling: High Task Behavior and High Relationship Behavior. The leader may still make the decisions, but will explain them to the followers and give them opportunities to ask for clarification. While “selling,” the leader remains heavily engaged in the project, but opens up two-way

These are presented as case studies where one isargued to be an example of non-virtuous engineering and one is presented as an example ofvirtuous engineering. In addition to two case studies, this paper will briefly consider the virtuesrelevant to engineering and discuss some factors related to ethics that impact equipment designand operations.

At one level, the problem has to do with a lack of a comprehensive visionfor how secondary level pre-engineering education should be focused, configured and delivered.The traditional approach has been to require strong backgrounds in mathematics and the sciencesalong with high college entrance examination scores.
