Students are introduced to such ideas as interpolation, curve-fitting, and numericdifferentiation and integration, through applications areas such as data analysis, imageprocessing, communications, position tracking, basic mechanics, and system modeling.The Engineering Models sequence was required for all incoming first-year engineering andengineering technology students starting with the 2012-2013 academic year.

communication must be thoughtfully designed tohelp readers make meaning of data. Such visual design for readers requires our students tobecome metacognitive of their own experience as consumers of visual communication. Yet oftenengineering students are not prompted to think about or design visual data communication untilthey must present their own data, typically as part of a senior capstone project. Our students’ lackof experience leaves them without a solid foundation for critical thought about figures, and thuswith scant preparation to learn from the experience of creating and refining them. If capstonesare to be an opportunity to learn about visual communication rather than simply perform it,students are in need of a swift means to gain perspective

Speakers need to be comfortable and assuredin their data, they need to communicate precisely and efficiently without being scant, andthey must be masterful with their persuasive moves to convince often reticent audiencesto accept their new ideas or proposed projects.

This study was approved by theinstitutional review board at the University (IRB# PRO2017002152) and may form the basis of along-term project in the future. The tests consisted of two related instruments – the Defining Issues Test version 2 (DIT-2) [8] and the Engineering Ethical Reasoning Instrument (EERI) [9]. The DIT-2 is used to assessthe moral judgement of individuals when faced with ethical dilemmas. In this test, a specific setof five (5) ethical dilemmas is presented to the individual, who must decide how to solve eachdilemma.

There is a scale effect of professional action; and professions need to look atthe aggregate effects of their action. The natural time and space scales imposed by naturalresources, transcending individual projects and actions, (as well as jurisdictions, lifetimes),imposes a professional burden – to channel individual actions toward sustainable relations with,common property resourcesviii.Lacking this responsibility, “no one is watching the store.” NAE and ASCE are asserting aprofessional role for engineering in
