variety of reasons, creating a new course is unworkable. In someways a course may not be the ideal solution because it is often removed from the context ofwriting in a working research group. One ideal solution would be a problem-based learninggroup that is facilitated by instructors in Engineering or writing, and embedded in thedepartment’s activities (e.g., researching, presenting, and publishing). Departments can establishthese learning groups, and writing centres (writing across the curriculum programs) on thecampuses of large universities are often eager to support these groups.Ultimately we came away from the workshop with these thoughts: 1. Technical writing skills must be learned continually throughout a career as new writing

often a pivotal firstcourse, in which many students weigh whether to proceed with an engineering major. Inaddition, learning of statics is also a concern to instructors in advanced level courses, such ascapstone design, who would like students to be able to utilize what they learned in statics1.Conceptually, statics breaks important ground for engineering students. Drawing free bodydiagrams (FBDs) and imposing equilibrium in statics is an early foray into a style of analysis thatis a cornerstone of engineering problem solving: isolation of a sub-system upon which balancelaws are applied.Students who complete statics should be able to effectively apply its methods to analyze realisticengineering systems.

Luegenbiehl state that the discourse of inevitability “impliesthat technology is the primary or sole driver of social evolution and that control over designs andoutcomes is either difficult or impossible.” [3]An important distinction must be made between engineering design and technologicaldevelopment. The discourse of design is largely viewed as being iterative, a consistent feedbackloop where the expectation is revision. On the other hand, technological development is morerigid in that the range of perceived choices are limited based on defined standards of progress.[3] Opportunities for ethical reflection are seemingly embedded in the design process but arelargely ignored over smaller improvements for technological development.The rapid adoption
