Apparently appalled at the condition of the airship, McWade wrotedirectly to the Air Ministry Office in London, pointing out the seriousness of thesituation. However, his supervisor did not pass the memo to the secretary of the AirMinistry, but rather sent it to the director of development at the Royal Airship Works,one R. B. Gilmore. Thus, the first formal sounding of alarm was sent to the partycharged with keeping the R-101 on schedule. In response, Gilmore returned a soothingmemo claiming the problems well in hand, and McWade’s warning never reached the AirMinistry. McWade’s supervisor counseled that he should pay attention only to theexecution of the plans then in

We also found that the more seniorstudents and the students with work experience overwhelmingly valued such material.As a follow-up to this research, we surveyed approximately one hundred engineers in a variety ofhiring positions in industry to determine their view on the inclusion of public policy in anengineering curriculum. Among the questions included in the survey, we asked, “Do you believethat engineering students should be exposed to public policy issues as part of their education?”We also addressed a number of other issues, including: 1) How do these engineers define publicpolicy? 2) Should the

Carrying this one step further, many people outside of academia do not even reallyknow the full array of activities that are involved with faculty jobs. Engineering faculty can playan important role in educating the public about tenure and what faculty do because (a) manypeople are impressed by someone being an engineer because it isn’t something that they thinkthey have the skills to do, and (b) politicians and business leaders are very much interested inhaving more STEM graduates and therefore will view engineering as a “worthwhile” subject tostudy in college.
