Weber arguedthat the Protestant work ethic was the motor that drove the rise of capitalism in Northern Europe.Where the Protestant work ethic differs, with its focus on hard work and earning more and moremoney, is that the paradise that hard work promises is a decidedly more earthly one forengineering students.Yet we worry about this combination of beliefs in the context of some of the goals we believe tobe widely shared within the engineering education reform community. One of those goals isclearly to promote an image of engineering as a force of good in the world—that leads

At the same time, a large proportion of oursample was first year engineering students in a general engineering program where a portion ofthe content focuses on choosing academic majors so this may have been on student’s minds. Ofparticular note is the perceived importance (or lack thereof) of sexual orientation on the qualityof engineering solutions. Such a result is challenging to interpret; for example, the low score forthe importance of sexual orientation does not necessarily imply that respondents do not “value”diversity in sexual orientation, though it could. Instead, a low score might imply that respondentsdo not understand how or why someone’s sexual orientation might influence the quality of anengineering solution. In this way

So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired versus elective courses.

It can be intimidating, however, for those who are typically in aninstructional role to adopt the role of learner and get themselves trained in the makerspace.Faculty may also be unfamiliar with the appropriate pedagogies for assigning student work in themakerspace, which tend to be active, inductive, and student centered, such as entrepreneurially-minded learning (EML) and problem/project
