Engineering and Public Policy

Sarah Bouazzaoui Charles B Daniels, PhD Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Old Dominion University AbstractIn the United States of America, public policies and public decision making associated with theengineering field are set by individuals who does not possess expertise and knowledge to carry outthese tasks [1]. Most of decision makers are lawyers and social scientists, not engineers [2]. Thepurpose of this paper is to analyze the various factors which either encourage or inhibit engineersfrom influencing and participating in public policy. In this study, a grounded theory approach willbe followed, data will be collected

identified - non-competitive markets, public goods, externalities, information asymmetries, and principal-agentproblems. In this section we review each of these five sources in turn, proceeding with a standarddefinition, examples, and implications for research and policy in engineering education. Some ofthe examples provided are more concrete than others. For each type of failure, we invite thereader to reflect on their own involvement in engineering education and consider examples fromtheir own experiences in engineering education in order to (a) to personalize the analysis and (b)help demonstrate the potential applicability of this approach.Public goods We first take up the notion of public goods, because prior to marketization, education

student will need it and (b)the student will have a high return on investment (ROI) as a human capital asset. Suchemployer buy-in spreads costs and builds up positive cash flow early in the program.Reinsurance will be provided by a government entity (e.g. NTMA in Ireland) in order to keepcosts low. In addition, as stated above, the endowment is designed as a tontine (an early formof insurance in which dividends increased as investors died) [35] reverting to the state(insurance company) upon death. If an individual did not take advantage of their endowmentto continue their education they would have two options: 1) pay a very large fee to make itinheritable and thus provide better education for their children or grandchildren, or 2) usetheir

recognize that mostpeople do not understand what tenure is, how it is earned, how it can be lost, and why it isimportant. 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. (This is not to say that non-STEM disciplines are not valuable to
