Activities includeinformational sessions for prospective students and their families to meet WHC and REEMSstaff, REEMS university faculty, and materials professionals. The interaction among students,family members and REEMS program partners define the scope and potential value for eachstudent – academically and professionally. The informational sessions are followed by presentations to science and engineeringclubs, science & engineering class visits, and student discussions with REEMS staff. As

include orientation sessions,curricular-based information literacy classes, and faculty research group meetings, which missesmany students. For those students who do connect with the STEM Librarian in theaforementioned sessions and meetings, the knowledge gained is often fleeting, as it is not beingpresented at the point of need.In order to find additional avenues for reaching ECS graduate students, the STEM Librarianrecognized the need to develop non-curricular educational programming for these students. Earlyin the process, the STEM Librarian began seeking partnerships with graduate studentorganizations, including ASEE, in hopes of leveraging their expertise in areas like eventplanning and marketing and finding external funding to incentivize

Under this type of definition are ostensive definitions define by examples orcase. As Davis 3 points out, many definitions of “engineer” are ostensive and thus prone tological errors and circular arguments. 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020Figure 1: Temporal sequence of some major engineering education reports.

toideate is particularly worthy of further investigation. Specifically, how engineering courses maylimit a student’s ability to ideate. This is supported by Lai et al.’s (2008) findings that suggest aninverse relationship between the number of years in engineering courses and one's ability to dodivergent thinking. Researchers may consider the role of design and creativity courses inengineering education, such as the Ideation Laboratory at MIT [27]. Further, researchers mightexplore the influence of innovation-oriented liberal arts or business classes (e.g., product design,entrepreneurship, etc.) on engineers’ ability to think creatively. Such experiences could exposestudents to different domains of ideation while providing an opportunity to

learning dynamics, work experience, the culture ofthe engineering field, and the moral intensity of a given dilemma or situation play importantroles in decision-making. 13 In their qualitative study of relationships between individual ethicalunderstandings and team ethical climate, Feister and colleagues found evidence that students’ethical perceptions and decisions differed based in part on programmatic orientations (e.g.,entrepreneurship, business, and community engagement. 14 In addition, their study of a service-learning design program found that although a human-centered design program utilized in theprogram was helpful in helping students orient to ethical considerations, motives, and decisions,the students tended to identify only ethical

That message was one of hierarchical ranking about what matters inhigher education: money. The language of being a “world-class educational and researchinstitution”37 and helping to support the regional biotech and energy industries shouted thatpoint. On the other hand, one cannot prima facie fault a university for striving for excellence inits endeavors, even though the notion is fraught with difficulty if narrowly tailoring excellence toa singular, monolithic conception.

Cohen (2012, p.66) [15] argues that this outcome was far from the author’s original intentions, but the very nature of cultural entrepreneurship means that the forces set in motion often exceed what was originally intended” p.66 [11].Mokyr’s and Cohen’s assertions seem to indicate that cultural attitudes can not only lift societybut can also send it into decline. This observation is not to ignore the fact that the Islamic Empiresuffered several major Mongol invasions including the destruction of Bagdad by Hulagu Khan in1258, but many historians point to a declining Islamic society going back to the 11 th and 12thcentury [16].The Platonic-Aristotelian tradition established an in-group / out-group
