In a previous paper, we reported on the results of a survey of facultymembers teaching C-I courses.19 We found that faculty members believed that students learnedthe technical content in more detail when the course was taught in a C-I format. Rather than Page 22.131.9merely teaching rhetorical concepts as important tools for the students’ futures, we are able touse communications to further students’ critical thinking regarding topics that are vital toprospective engineers, like ethics, teamwork, and lifelong learning.We believe that there is an opportunity

areanalyzed and discussed.IntroductionIn 2004, a group of engineering and education faculty at Virginia Tech received a majorcurriculum reform and engineering education research grant under the department-level reform(DLR) program of the NSF1. A number of hands-on activities were developed and implementedin the freshman engineering program as a result of the DLR project2,3, 4. Engineering Exploration(EngE1024), a freshman engineering course required of all engineering undergraduates, is themost affected course by the DLR project in the general engineering (also called freshmanengineering) program. This course primarily focuses on hands-on design, problem solving,professional ethics and skills, and critical thinking skills5. This course is taken by

: Most people think that technology is little more than the application of science to solve practical problems…They are not aware that modern technology is the fruit of a complex interplay between science, engineering, politics, ethics, law, and other factors. People who operate under this misconception have a limited ability to think critically about technology—to guide the development and use of a technology to ensure that it provides the greatest benefit for the greatest number of citizens.32Consistent with the NRC’s vision, the integrated approach used in our AI/philosophy curriculumhelps educate students to think differently about technology and fundamentally question thepossibilities of AI for meeting

addition, expertise in an area does not guarantee that one can effectivelyteach others about that area.7 Further, knowledging is also dependent upon the ability of studentsto teach themselves. Therefore, engineering faculty must design the four-year curriculum to in-clude knowledging.The senior year occurs with its capstone courses featuring an accent upon product design and itsperipheral subjects such as safety, legal liability, ethics, cost analysis, etc. In the domain of engi-neering, the word “design” has a reduced meaning from that commonly found in our societysince design does not usually start with a blank slate but with a prototype that is to be optimizedaccording some given new specifications. Thus, design means, “design analysis.”The

Additionally, companies need to know that the class is not being sold to them as a ruse for donations. Students are often only one step away from being employed as engineers in the project sponsors’ companies. When project sponsors know that your students take completion seriously, they will be more motivated to hire your students, knowing that a strong work and completion ethic is also something that students leave your program with. In the real world, incomplete projects lead to failed companies. 7. Money isn’t everything. The monetary contribution to the design clinic

We chose to stay awayfrom the high validators who are more likely to choose engineering anyway and go after the
