The image of engineering is also negatively affected by its close association withscience [4]. Thus, it is useful to look at the research in science for information onpotential reactions to engineering. Girls and boys develop ideas about science and who isqualified to be a scientist early in their education, often based largely on messages theyreceive outside of the school walls [6]. In order to effectively address students’ ideasabout science, it is important to understand the nature of those ideas [7, 8, 9]. Similarly,in order to address students’ ideas about engineering, it is important to understand whatideas students have

In addition,students developed a set of skills that typical classroom education does not provide. A volunteer-based program may be especially useful as a mechanism for service-learning since theundergraduate engineering curriculum is normally very full, or it may be a first-step inintroducing service-learning into the engineering program.AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank Dr. LeeAnne Kryder for her guidance and feedback on this paper;Humphrey Blackburn for sharing his expertise on

To do this, we must demonstrate how sustainability canbecome an integral part of both undergraduate and graduate engineering education systems, incontrast to the current tendency to narrow one’s focus when matriculating from an undergraduateto MS to PhD program. We propose that serious changes are needed in the way we educateengineers if sustainability is to become a meaningful component of US engineering practice.Further, if these changes do not occur, US engineering education and US engineering may soonfall behind more aggressive
