break apurposeful life. Practiced effectively, they augment the virtues distinctive to an individual, thusgrowing character and agency for the better good. Given the centrality of technology today,engineering students will help shape our future, significantly. Yet often they lack theprofessional skillset to reach the greatest promise in their careers and as citizens. How canprofessional skills be developed through experiential practice? Blurring the line between artand science offers one route via creative engagement: playing in a conductorless orchestrawhere students practice leadership, teamwork, and communication week-in and week-out. Theonly conductorless orchestra in the world composed of engineers currently resides at OlinCollege of
may be a labor shortage in the near future as these engineersbegin to retire [Wright, 2014]. Retiring systems engineers, specifically, are a major concern in thedefense industry [SERC, 2013; Charette, 2008] as well as at NASA [Bagg et al., 2003]. Oneobvious solution is to train more undergraduates in systems engineering skills. However, there isa pervasive belief that successful systems engineers can only be made through experience [e.g.Armstrong & Wade, 2015; Squires et al., 2011; Davidz et al., 2005]. This belief may partially bedue to the previous generation of systems engineers not receiving much systems engineering-specific training in their university engineering education, as noted by Armstrong & Wade [2015]in their interview
2017 ASEE Zone II Conference Comparison of Student and Faculty Perceptions of Intent and Effectiveness of Course Evaluations in an Engineering Curriculum John Michael Van Teeck and Thomas P. James Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Terre Haute, INAbstractThis paper provides a comparison between a student’s apparent belief system and facultyperceptions of the intent and effectiveness of course evaluations. Data collection was through asurvey instrument and in-person interviews. The focus of information gathering was directedtoward how student course evaluations may have impacted faculty teaching methodologies,choice of course materials, and
ethics as peripheralto engineering practice although in reality, the two are inextricably linked [6].The very structure of engineering education contributes to students’ sentiments towardsethics. The narrow technical emphasis of the engineering curriculum creates “a massiveblack hole whose gravitational pull inexorably absorbs the students’ attention, time, andfidelity“ [4, p. 349]. The crowded curriculum also poses a challenge for programs interestedin providing standalone ethics and societal impact (ESI) courses [6].Beyond the barriers at the student and curricular level, many engineering faculty are illprepared or unwilling to teach ethics. Without the educational background or incentives toacquire that knowledge within the academic reward

evident than in the College‟s “one-third, one-third, one-third”curriculum. Engineering (and all HMC) students complete a third of their coursework in “TheCommon Core” (courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and the humanities and socialsciences). The goal is students‟ acquisition of knowledge and techniques across disciplinaryareas and increased understanding of the interdisciplinarity of technical work and its linkageswith society. The second third of the curriculum is in the humanities and social sciences.Students pointed consistently to the value of their humanities and social science courses indeveloping an awareness of the importance of contextual competence, as well as the dispositionand skills needed to think beyond the purely
