:“Engineers know from experience that this view is untrue. [From an engineering perspective],technology appears, not as derivative from science, but as an autonomous body of knowledge.Aero planes are not designed by science, but by art – despite some pretense and humbug to thecontrary. The creative, constructive knowledge of the engineer is the knowledge needed toimplement that art.” Vincenti’s core theme is that engineers and engineering educators need to present,explicitly, the engineering worldview with the corresponding understanding of engineeringknowledge and engineering practice. 2 Duke engineer Henry Petroski, adopting the ‘natural’engineering perspective, had an article in The Washington Post entitled, “If you want to changethe

room for improvement.There is also a projected significant drop in college-aged students beginning around 2033 whichis expected to disproportionately affect Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics(STEM) fields. This decline stems from demographic shifts, particularly a decline in birth ratesfollowing the 2008 financial crisis, leading to fewer high school graduates and intensifiedcompetition among colleges for a shrinking applicant pool. This is following a 15% decline inhigher education enrollment between 2010 and 2021 [2]. STEM disciplines, already challengedby high attrition rates and barriers to entry such as rigorous prerequisites and perceived difficulty,may face even steeper declines in enrollment. This trend threatens to

programs for engineering continue to grow in popularity among schools anduniversities, the corresponding curriculum that gets delivered to students has becomeincreasingly compartmentalized to each specific discipline. This shift has occurred naturally aseducational departments desire to highlight direct applicability of their education to theirdepartment label. However, much of the knowledge and many of the skills obtained in individualfields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be applied to variousother STEM fields. Yet, preconceived barriers between each discipline often create mental gapsin the minds of students that render their abilities to think of their education’s applicabilityoutside of the department they are
