Thispaper reports on the framework for this effort and the results for Fall 2001 and Spring 2002.IntroductionIdentifying needs and improving the quality of life for society are paramount in the ethicalresponsibilities of an engineer. Freshman students entering an engineering curriculum aretypically drawn to the program based on the lucrative and professional aspects of the field itself.However, as society becomes increasingly dependent on technology and as the hard sciences ofengineering become more integrated with the soft science aspects of politics, economics andcultures, there is a increasing need for students to

Identifying the most viable solutions thatbest serve a variety of often conflicting design criteria requires originality and imagination.Proposed solutions may include completely novel approaches, but may also find ways to useexisting technology in new ways.Good designers must have strong engineering analytical skills. Once a set of proposed solutionsis generated, they must be evaluated for their suitability to solve the specified problem and forhow well they stack up against the design criteria. Analysis uses mathematical and scientificprinciples to predict the performance of each proposed solution on each of the criteria of interest.Optimized designs require systematic investigation of the solution space – perhaps

This perspectives is rooted incritical science agency theory which has been developed in qualitative research in scienceeducation

Amazingly, they have crafted a solution from,among other things, duct tape, plastic bags, and pieces of the flight plan document. This isengineering at its unambiguous best. When needs, goals, time constraints, and availableresources are unambiguous, engineers can solve problems.Rarely, however, are the scope and boundary of an engineer's work so well defined.
