ofa common good.Yet among the younger generation there is some understanding of the common good in theirefforts to cause us to change our behaviours so as to reduce the impact of climate change. Butthat conception is limited because it only focuses on one aspect of human behaviour.Underlying all human action is a set of values that help us to say yes or no to the actions thatjoin us one to another interpersonal or through object design. Thus in the model oftechnology presented in exhibit 1 the basis of technological design, for that matter all design,is the value system of the designer(s). Developing a value system (call it philosophy,theology, ethics- what you will) is part of human development, and therefore, part of humanlearning [29], and

becomes drastically less effective. Newequipment is procured (major cost), but technical staff are not properly trained. Maintenancecontracts not signed for critical (and costly) equipment. Replacements for faculty and staff are notplanned well in advance. When sustainability is not practiced, and is not an integral part of theculture, how can it be taught effectively?Policy Making IssuesABET criteria for accrediting engineering programs [24-26] states that Student Outcomes (SO)“describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation …knowledge, skills, and behaviors.” In their earlier (a to k) version, SO (c) was defined as “an abilityto design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic

],musculoskeletal issues [18], obesity [19], mental health challenges [20], [21], and social isolation[9] are just some of the potential harms that many educators and students may face due toexcessive technology use. This research aims to mitigate the potential harm that technologyposes to educators and students without losing intended benefits.The primary focus of this research is to support health and wellness through a) promotingeffective technological literacy skills and b) improving self-efficacy in understandingtechnology-life balance. The resulting best practices from this work-in-progress are intended tosupport postsecondary engineering students in maintaining technology-life balance throughouttheir lifetime while building their capacity for
theirdispositional components and to competency development. Similarly, we suggest programdevelopment work exploring the integration of these (and related) virtues into E/C programs anddevelopment of best practices for assessing effectiveness. Lastly, identifying these core virtueshighlights the need to raise the level of analysis in which our students engage, to address thegoals of engineering and the capacity of engineers to practice engineering in a way that promoteshuman flourishing [35].References[1] J.

But by their very nature as electives, technical elective courses should not beteaching material that is expected to be learned by every student graduating from a particularengineering discipline. Requiring students to take several such courses may impact their abilityto take courses from other disciplines which may be beneficial to them in achieving theirpersonal career goals. Therefore, it is important for engineering programs to consider the resultsthey are intending to achieve by requiring students to take technical electives, how these coursesmay be impacting the overall education of the students, and what is an appropriate number oftechnical elective courses to require.
