robot’s functionality. In anelementary engineering education setting, I believe the success of the artifact is not the onlyconsideration; the experience of the student is a factor. When asked “I think the activity helpedme understand problem solving and robotics concepts.”, the average answer was 4.3.

As a simple check,this evidence suggests the participants’ enjoyment and engagement in the activity. After

has prompted educators toreevaluate the foundational body of engineering knowledge in higher education. Moreover, asengineering education increasingly contemplates the global arena, it is obvious that civil andenvironmental engineering has been distinctively impacted and has a leading-edge role to play atthe individual practicing engineer level and as a discipline. In U.S. institutions, for instance,educators have been urged to reassess their curricula with the demands of globalization in mind.8The increasing demand for international engineering and the changing international nature ofengineering work9 has also made it clear that, insofar as engineering projects of scale stretchacross national boundaries and involve collaborating

many things they had not experienced that the faculty have livedthrough. I remember one such fact which was that the new class of students had never rolled up thewindow on a car by hand. This stunned me for a few minutes when I read it, but then I remembermy parents buying a car in 1953 which had power windows! Many young people don’t realize howthings have changed over the past half-century. It is also true that many of our current facultymembers have not experienced the past half-century of engineering education. They have littleappreciation of the foundations of engineering education on which they must build the future. Weusually only publish our successes and few of our students and faculty members understand theimportance of learning from

The development of belief in the value of the systemic methodscan be achieved through purposeful design of the teaching content and assessment activities toachieve affective development in parallel with cognitive development.Our view of the place of the affective domain in systems engineering education is consistent withRovai et al’s quotation of Kearney that affective learning is “an increasing internalization ofpositive attitudes toward the content or subject matter” [31].

Philosophical History for EngineersAbstract Ethics education in the engineering curriculum is required by ABET. This paper presents anunconventional approach to meeting this requirement as surveyed and tested in the aerospaceengineering department of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with theintention of having a lasting impact on engineering graduates throughout their working career.All professions have common codes of competence, integrity, and intended good will towardshumanity. Often these codes presume internal regulation and constraint to guard against humannature’s self-serving inclinations and proclivities.

Of the 15 outcomes, the ones most relevant to a general education foundation are:“The civil engineer must demonstrate: • the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and social context (EAC-ABET h) • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (EAC-ABET f) • an ability to communicate effectively (EAC-ABET g) • an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (EAC-ABET d) • a recognition of the need for, and the ability to engage in, life-long learning (EAC-ABET i).”Although these are program outcomes for the assessment of civil engineering curricula, it can beargued that a strong foundation in the liberal arts can
