Even if they selected engineering as a major, theysometimes struggled to select an engineering specialty. As study participants described: [A barrier is] the length of time that people can be spinning in the washing machine without deciding exactly what they want to do, without completing all the prerequisite coursework to get into a particular major … If you do a transfer major, you are basically taking general education classes, which both means that you can change your mind

(Pascarella& Terenzini, 1991), the influences of these experiences among engineering students is as yetlittle understood. The absence of such information presents colleges and schools ofengineering with major problems. Industry and the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) are bringing increasing pressure on engineering schools to producegraduates who are prepared to engage in unstructured problem solving and to work in groups.ABET is also moving to an assessment-based reaccreditation review process, requiringinstitutions to produce evidence that their programs “prepare graduates for the practice ofengineering at a professional level” (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology,1997, p. 41).This paper reports the

Towards the end of her sophomore year, she described her experiencesin her pre-engineering classes: “It just seemed like there was just a different frame of mind and the whole ‘me succeeding,’ like ‘me, me, me,’ and really not wanting to help people, and I didn’t understand that, because I really, if I know something, I’m gonna help you figure it out, and I would hope that if I didn’t know something, it would be the same way.”Asked where this different frame of mind comes from, Bryn said

Two of the Mechnaical Engineeringfaculty have recently been engaged in modifying a freshman CAD class with these motivationsin mind. They are implementing “Rapid Prototyping” (RP) into the ME 180 Freshman CADclass. This paper will document the work in progress on this effort to date.RP is the process which converts a CAD model into an artifact or product.1 This process hasbeen used increasingly over the past two decades in engineering firms to produce first-articledesigns.

My main thesis is that because the Western world, not to mention much ofthe rest of the world, has become or is becoming postmodern in character, it poses areal challenge for engineering graduates. And because postmodernism is least of allamenable to the traditional Western consciousness, all linearity and problem-solving incharacter, with its reliance on systematic thought, our being able, as educators, toapproach the world in its non-linearity and resistance to rational systems is to provide awholistic

to 1996Union’s engineering curricula were not set up with terms abroad in mind. Since theprograms are relatively small, most required and elective courses in the major are onlyoffered once a year. Therefore, it took very careful planning and advisement to allowstudents to go abroad without seriously jeopardizing their chances of finishing in fouryears. Union also bucks the national trend in that most of our students actually graduatein four years.Students who were successful in juggling their schedules invariably came back from theirforeign study saying it was well worth the effort, and many said that it was a lifechanging experience.

However, once we have createdrepresentations out of the sensations, we able to continue thinking by changingand altering the representations in our mind. We are able to take action in theworld because we can use knowledge to represent the world in a variety ofways—knowing is representing. This proposition applies obviously to engineering.

Some programsinclude a full course in ethics, while others integrate ethical issues throughout their curriculum;but all programs need to create a culture where ethical behavior is prized and unethical behavioris not accepted.

Engineering lab reports provide one opportunity to givestudents feedback on aesthetics. Furthermore, modern word processors have raised the barfor what is considered acceptable.

The ideal solution wouldprovide course preparation by reinforcing background information and introduce topics to becovered in the first few weeks of the fall semester. In addition, the preparation was intended tobe voluntary and accessible to any student who chose to participate. The material is offered at noadditional cost to the students. Students also do not receive academic credit. With this in mind,we identified the summer as an ideal preparation time for students, much like the summer bridgeprograms that exist at many universities

A common desireof undergraduates in EE (and we suspect across engineering in general) is for more “hands-on”experiences. What little they get tends to be later in their college career; however, as the Do-It-Yourself (DIY)/Make culture continues to grow, more of our students are walking in the doorready and willing to “get their hands dirty” on
