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

Currently, the faculty teamof China is lacking in “double-qualified” teachers who have both an abundant engineeringbackground and a high academic level [4].

From theperspective of developing future engineers and scientists, an early emphasis on linkages to publicpolicy and societal issues can promote student buy-in, and prepare for future policy andadvocacy work that are, increasingly, a component of scientific and engineering careers.

Along these lines, engineer 2 mentioned “Even though Ihave the technical skills, I prefer to stay away from public policy because I am not familiar withpublic policy process”. This proves that one of the obstacles of engineer’s participation andinfluence is the lack of public policy knowledge. By reviewing engineer’s education curriculums,in the USA educational system, engineers are not exposed to any course related to public policy.The integration of public policy courses into engineer’s education is vital, especially that engineersrecognize that the technical details matter in many policy issues. To further illustrate this point,we refer to studies discussing the relationship between knowledge and

In the early 18th Century, John Quincy Adamswrote about ‘standard’ weights and measures: “ Weights and measures may be ranked among the necessaries of life to every individual of human society.
