That portion of the human brain has lagged behind catastrophically. Our call herethough must not be misinterpreted as a call to abandon rationality but rather a hope thatwithin the context of a new engineering paradigm, reason and compassion can worktogether to integrate mind, body, and heart.

I still remember the day I got my Rose-Hulman acceptance letter, and pretty much making up my mind that I would attend the school no matter what. When I got the initial email from Dr. Brackin about the Engineering Design course, I didn’t think of it as a “oh man starting school early means cutting into summer”, but instead “oh man, I’m going to get to experience real college in a smaller setting, and meet new people in

A creative achievement is almostnever the result of a sudden intuition, but comes after years of hard work [8].

Another example in this case was related tothe concerns on operation and maintenance.Decision making was critical in engineering design and needs to be addressed in this module.The inclusion of the sustainability criteria or indicators was valuable, but the correspondingdecision making became more challenging. The related multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)method for various engineering applications was still an active research area due to itsmultidisciplinary nature15. Our goal of including the MCDA section in the module was toemphasis the importance of selecting and weighting different kinds of criteria in a

As a result of conducting this pilot project some valuable lessons were learnedand some new practices were successfully adopted. For faculty that may be considering theimplementation of Service Learning projects in their freshman engineering courses, thefollowing points need to be addressed: • Administrative support is crucial for the success of the project; • Emphasis should be placed on academic rigor; • Participation in faculty training offers a lot of help and numerous chances to network with other like-minded faculty; • Emphasis should be placed on quality over

areoversimplified, false dichotomies of social divides (i.e., “wealth and poverty, health andsickness, food and hunger”). Such complex conditions are not binary on-off states but rather acontinuum that exists both within nations and across the globe. Who goes hungry, for example,is as much a function of politics, culture, economics and ethics as it is of agricultural production.Though suggesting that “engineers must frame their work with the ultimate goal of universalaccessibility in mind,” no attention is given to how engineers might go about contributing to thesolution of such complex problems (other than, à la Moses, pushing forward with technologicalprogress).It is beyond the scope of this essay to examine every one of the fourteen specific

core aerospace engineering classes. Aerospace engineering, althoughattracts some of the brightest minds, is still a demanding and hard discipline to study. Most of thestudents who enter the discipline do it because they are interested and get fascinated by flyingobjects. Yet, at some of the major universities across the country, the dropout rate in theundergraduate aerospace engineering classes is higher than other disciplines [19]. Besides thediscipline being hard to understand and study, another reason that high dropout rate can beattributed to is the lack of student centered active learning techniques used in the aerospaceengineering classes.

of a faculty professional development program is partially due its design. Programs thattake into account factors for adult motivation (e.g., [14]) are likely to be more effective thanthose that do not [2]. For instance, the perceived expertise of the program facilitators must not bein question, and the content must be directly relevant to the interests and goals of theparticipants. The participants must also have a choice in how to apply the presented concepts, aswell as the opportunity to put them into practice.With these criteria in mind, we designed our “Teaching Circle for Large Engineering Courses” toinform faculty about effective teaching practices, influence their approaches to teaching, andgive them the tools to change their

This means that rather than lecturingabout and repeating what students can independently read in the textbook, we simply expect thatthey have read it and are prepared during class and team meetings to participate in thorough,joint exploration of the topics at hand.
