However, the existence of new ABET“capstone design” requirements and what appeared to be a nearly one-to-one correspondencewith those objectives, and the prospect that the new design course could improve facultyproductivity when students began their MQP, allowed the creation of ECE 2799 to be approvedby the ECE faculty.

We learned about humanitarian medics and relief workers emerged inthe 19th century, became organized under the International Red Cross, played significant roles inWW II, but until the 1960s included no engineers. In short, the history of humanitarianism andthe histories of engineering for most of the 19th and 20th centuries are not connected. In thishistorical journey, we came across Doctors without Borders (MSF), perhaps the oldest and mostcomprehensive approach to humanitarian work by a profession. It became clear that the veryrecent Engineers Without Borders (EWB), and other similar organizations, found inspiration inMSF yet were doing

This theory supports the message that educators are responsible for caring for theirstudents and believing in their success outside of the classroom [15]. The theory can beextended to say that the goal of an engineering educator is to ensure that engineering students areable to leave the degree program as not only successful engineers but also as successful
