. Thus, the e3 Initiative engages eligible engineering students inandragogical learning by providing project-based, hands-on learning experiences that are largelyself-directed. In the e3 Initiative, students choose their own path and participate in engineeringactivities outside of their normal coursework that are designed to aid in their development as anengineer. As such, andragogy, or self-directed adult learning serves as a guide for how theprogram is structured. Since the e3 Initiative is a co-curricular program, students direct theirlearning based on their current interests or needs. In doing so, they assert control over theirengineering education outside of the classroom. Furthermore, by taking this approach, the e3Initiative is

At a research institution, however, a standalone program risks the segregation ofthe faculty into less prestigious undergraduate teachers and more prestigious graduate facultywho conduct research. College-wide interdisciplinary programs or institutes on undergraduateeducation provide a locus for education-oriented faculty in different departments. Separatedepartments of engineering education take this one-step further by permitting full unit status anda dedicated faculty for education research and innovation.Despite the differences in these three approaches, each of these arrangements assumes thatmodification of organizational structure is part of the answer to the question of how to reformengineering education.

every engineering graduate will work foran international development or other NGO.Instead, we propose that educators should strive to prepare students for a wide variety ofpersonal and professional pathways, yet with the goal of enabling them to become truly globalengineers capable of navigating ethical issues in diverse job roles and national/cultural contexts.Thus, engineering educators from the four different approaches to engineering ethics in theglobal context need more communication, collaboration, and coordination among themselves, ashow to educate a globally professional and responsible engineer is a very real and daunting issuethat has received much less attention than other topics in the field of engineering education.References 1

As S-L continues to become a significant part of the community-engagement movement in higher education, and as more university professors are encouraged toincorporate S-L activities in their course requirements, it is essential that educators build anunderstanding of what students gain with S-L and that they give students a voice in their owneducational process and in the community.
