Connecting those failures to the real tragedies in the world, such as Minneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 [12] and Tacoma Narrow bridge collapse in 1940 [13], brings professional ethics into the game as well. This game project fits nicely to the core of the “Civil Engineering and Architecture” course in the PLTW curriculum.

The student was constantly reminded that engineering is one of the most human ofendeavors. Abraham Maslow (a founder of the field of study known as humanisticpsychology) is renown for having sorted out the basics of human needs. First: shelter, foodand security and then: education, introspection and the luxuries that are required to advance acivilized culture. All of these needs require problem-solving people, otherwise known asengineers. And the act of solving problems professionally and ethically is recognized asengineering.

theoretical knowledge students have gained in the curriculum. Topics include a six-class sequence on written communication, a series of classes on engineering drawing, and classes and discussions on career development, licensing, creativity, intellectual property, ethics, reliability, maintainability, and quality control. Most of the student work revolves around their project. They start by writing a letter of inquiry that is followed by a formal proposal and mid-course review during the first semester. In the second semester students submit test reports and a final project report. They also develop a poster presentation for their project and give an oral report. In addition to the project work, students are

In addition, they seemed to become clearly aware of the non-technical constraints (legal, political, institutional, ethical) involved in engineering design, aconsequence of having them exposed to actual, concrete, real-world problems and to multipleresearch tasks outside the classroom. Several of the freshman design students felt their designexperience in EID 103 definitely affected their desire to be an engineer.

The inventories are scored by a certified practitioner, and the results areinterpreted and checked for validity during the following week. A three-hour feedback session ispresented to the class within two weeks, during which time each student receives his or herindividual KAI results.
