, 2016 From Problem Solvers to Problem Seekers: The Necessary Role of Tension in Engineering EducationIn this paper it is proposed that the current focus on problems in engineering education andtechnological literacy may be more constructively reframed by focusing on tensions. PriyanDias claims engineering has an identity crisis that arises from tensions inherent in: 1) theinfluence of the profession on society, 2) the role engineers play, and 3) what constitutes validknowledge in engineering. These are ethical, ontological, and epistemological tensionsrespectively, which Dias frames as a tension between identities of homo sapiens and homo faber.Beyond the tensions in engineering there are additional tensions that arise

as theirAmerican counterparts,” Grasso questioned whether it is wiser to close all the expensiveengineering colleges in the U.S. and “simply import all the engineering we need.”1 As a lifetimeengineering professor and administrator, Grasso was certainly not proposing laying off thousandsof American engineering educators. Instead, he urged his colleagues in the U.S. to pursue “afresh start” and to educate “[a] growing and increasingly diverse number of domestically trainedengineers—equipped with the broad insight and critical thinking skills the world needs” through“[the] study of the human condition, the human experience, [and] the human record.” Doing so,Grasso suggests, would give the engineers educated in the U.S. “a competitive advantage

Therewas a set of general requirements that applied to all the three problems, for example, all designsneeded to be creative, aesthetically pleasing, well crafted, and the total cost should be as little aspossible and it should not exceed $100. Each problem had some specific requirements inaddition to the general requirements: in the first design problem, students were provided with asolar set-up, shown in Figure 1, which has a light bulb, simulating the “sun” that travels from“east” to “west” during a “day” at a constant rate. A solar power plant needed to be designed sothat consistent and maximum power be generated throughout the day. Only two types of solarcells could be used and all of them must be placed

education which is ubiquitous to this day. This has led to theidentification of the Grinter Report with these changes and the perception that it recommended a one-size-fits-all curriculum that was impractical and inflexible. This paper will reexamine the report and show howit considers many of the same problems we are still debating today. A case for reconsidering the GrinterReport will be made through three points. 1) The current engineering curriculum is at most superficiallyrelated to the Grinter Report. It will be argued that curricular changes rarely coincided with the intentionsof the report and were rather motivated by other factors. 2) The Grinter Report focuses on principles ofengineering education, not a particular curriculum.

Women often lack role models due to small faculty representation, and URMfaculty percentages remain far below their presence in the general population, with female URMfaculty nearly absent in some engineering departments [1]. Women engineering faculty faceisolation and lack networking opportunities [2]. Therefore, efforts to promote DEI in theengineering professoriate have gained increased attention, with higher education institutionsrecognizing the need to cultivate a more representative and inclusive academic workforce.

Giving and receiving feedback through annualreviews, mentorship, or peer review are common practices in the workplace [1]. Unlike theacademic environment, engineers do not receive grades with which to measure performance,rather, they must seek out information via feedback. Thus, the ability to give, receive, process,and act on feedback is essential for continuous improvement of engineers in industry. Theunderstandings, capacities, and
