Engineering and Public Policy

that question is great because it shows that it comes from a person who is thinking about policy. And I would encourage that person to go even further [beyond asking how to get a utility to do more], and ask the question, “what’s the purpose of the utility?” Now, if what we’re asking is, “how do we get a utility to constantly be creative and innovative and look for ways to do more with less – to get a better product for less money” – then that’s awesome! As long as we’re not doing that in a way the destroys morale, and that would be great. But the kind of notion that, “wouldn’t it be great if our bureaucrats just worked harder and spent more money than what was required…” well then they wouldn’t have the money to do the other

This lack of diversity can negativelyimpact innovation in STEM majors through a lack of diverse perspectives and untappedpotential. The lack of low-income students in STEM is also problematic, since STEM careersare generally high paying; the continued education of certain groups of people at the exclusion1 Miami University, Oxford, OH This work is supported by NSF EEC Award 1530627.of those from lower-income families intensifies the stratification of wealth in society [3].

There was a time when we would have ignored or dismissed such arguments asinvalid, and such shoddy and sloppy writing as drivel. However, many students struggle withinformation literacy and are still developing their ability to evaluate the quality of informationand argument; we cannot afford to ignore this reality. 22It is crucial in our

Mistree [8] indicates that theprimary competency needed by engineering graduates today is the ability to adapt; this is largelydue to the way that engineering practice is changing rapidly due to technological innovation andglobalization. Further, we have, in prior iterations of the course, structured our course around 7competencies identified by ABET [9], Eggert [10], Lahidji [11], and others [12-15].

The findings were used to adapt and improve the design of visuo-hapticsimulations to teach the concept of friction.IntroductionDesigning educational tools to develop conceptual understanding is a complex procedure.Educational tools need to bring together technological, educational, scientific, and socialinformation into a single design solution. Therefore, incorporation of new learning tools ineducation should be a rational process guided by research. Early focus on the learners during thedesign of educational tools can facilitate deep thinking about concepts, operations, and relationsinstead of merely problems associated with usability considerations.Learning innovations include the adaptation of tools used in non-educational contexts

This lack of preparedness scares mebecause even though I identify as one of the “engineers of 2020,” I don’t believe I have acquiredthe competence necessary for the role NAE is calling me to play. Suddenly, I notice that the questions I am asking myself have shifted from “how will Iapply the technical knowledge gained from an undergraduate education to serve society?” to “doI even have the most basic technical knowledge that I need to serve society?” As I read

Results of this quantitativeand qualitative work were used to further refine the quantitative instrument that is to be used insubsequent phases of the project.Addressing student perceptions that they do not fit in engineering can begin to staunch theexodus of talented individuals from engineering majors. The use of practical methods in thisstudy to understand students' identities as they relate to engineering can be used to attract morestudents into engineering. An increase in the number of students in engineering will help initiatea much-needed shift toward a more innovative approaches to engineering solutions than may bedevelop by traditional “normative” groups.
