Cochrane(1966) 21 as well as many other authors typically discussed the beginning of the activities tocreate a hose coupling standard as beginning in 1904 after the Great Fire in Baltimore when firecompanies from the region’s major cities arrived to help fight the great “conflagration” inFebruary.

They are also, it can be argued, a foundation of the nine attributes of aprofessional engineer described in The Engineer of 2020.[37] These attributes are: stronganalytical skills, practical ingenuity, creativity, communication, mastery of business andmanagement principles, leadership, professionalism, high ethical standards, and life-longlearners.Engineering faculty often work from the assumption that incoming

In service-learning there is an underlying belief that thecommunity deserves to be served and that it is the role of colleges and universities to assist inserving them. This ethic is especially strong in attention to underserved communities. Thereforeservice-learning philosophy is the best fit with institutions, departments, and/or individuals whobelieve in this attitude of mission.2.3 Definition of service-learningThere have been many definitions for service-learning in the literature over the years [e.g.,(Jacoby, 1996), (Bringle, Hatcher, & Games, 1997), (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999

He proposes abandoning theold paradigm of research versus teaching for the following new paradigm: faculty should beengaged in the scholarship of discovery, integration, application, and teaching. By embracingthese four general views of scholarship, Boyer is challenging us to enlarge our perspective of thepriorities of the professoriate.The scholarship of application, which is closely related to what we would call "service", must beclosely related to one's own field of expertise and relates acquired knowledge to the largercommunity. Boyer contends that application need not always follow discovery- the act ofapplication can and should initiate new discovery. The scholarship of application, which

Many of these students referred to discussions of clinical protocols intheir ethics course as evidence for their competency, perhaps not realizing the extent ofregulatory issues of importance.
