engineering in 46 episodes of approximately 10 minuteseach. Over the course of the series, the origin of each branch of engineering was discussed,followed by discussion of core concepts of conservation, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heatand mass transfer, materials, statics, safety and ethics. The series then described applications ofthe different engineering fields, including robotics, genetic engineering, and signal processing, aswell as specific extensions of core engineering fields, such as transportation and geotechnicalengineering. The series concluded with an explanation of engineering design, careers inengineering, and the future problems to be solved. The authors of this paper were part of the collaboration in the development and

In order to fill thiscapacity, engineers should be trained not only in technical skills, but also in appropriatetechnologies, knowledge transfer and education processes, culture and community assessment,policy and governance, economic processes and valuation, environmental science, and ethics andsocial justice. Several of our own studies demonstrate how framing engineering educationaround a developing world experience is a positive experience for student learning (e.g.,Mihelcic and

In so doing, this project aims to provide useful maps of an emergent fieldand also develop new methods for mapping engineering practice.Background and MotivationWithin the United States, engineers are fundamentally tasked with being in service to others. Thefirst canon of the National Society of Professional Engineers Code of Ethics commands thatengineers shall “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public [5].” However,market demands mostly from for-profit corporations and military contractors, and unique laborpractices, have made engineers shift priorities away from the

AsFigure 1 suggests, the enactment of a professional discipline is guided both by ethics andstandards of practice; these activities define competencies, job roles, and ultimately career paths.Professional societies codify these elements by defining ethics and competencies, but also byFigure 1.

Economics, psychology, political science are among themost popular undergraduate majors yet few students are exposed to these disciplines in highschool. In many cases, an appealing gateway course draws students into these subjects.Introduction to Engineering courses typically assume that students electing to take the coursealready have a high level of commitment to a career in engineering.

The types the MBTI sorts for, known asdichotomies are extraversion / introversion, sensing / intuition, thinking / feeling and judging /perceiving. Participants are given one of 16 four-letter abbreviations, such as ESTJ or INFP,indicating what their preferences are.

The word is rooted in the verb ‘sustain’ which hasseveral senses To nurture or support (nature sustains man) To endure (to sustain injury) To validate or affirm (to sustain an argument)In the present context, the first two senses are invoked in the transitive sense: man sustainsnature, nature sustains man. Both thrive and endure; a systematic, two-way relationship isimplied. To reduce this to a one-way relation, is to lose the sense of the closed-systemrelationship.At the heart of this relationship are Natural Resources; they

Also, involvingparticipants from diverse schools across the country (especially those from primarily undergraduate institutions) aswell as inclusion of an international component is also viewed as favorable because it broadens REU Participantperspectives and increases the breadth of their training.
