The revolution hinderedtheir social and technological advances needed to feed China's populationand improve their standard of living. It is ironic that the young peoplewho initially strongly supported the revolution were the ones who forceda halt to the activities. It must be recognized that some progress wasmade in engineering education even during these chaotic conditions.Positive elements, including the balance of theory versus experimentation,the integration of knowledge with practical applications and the inter-action of universities and factories, were stressed during this period

Meanwhile, the technology sector is growing, led largely by software companies likeApple, Microsoft, Alphabet (parent of Google), and Facebook. Accordingly, many of the leadingsoftware companies emerged from a “tech startup” culture and

Current discussions and conflicts onwhat engineering education should look like in the future will be discussed as well as the dilemmafacing new faculty with increased expectations to achieve tenure. Cutting funds for highereducation by many states has been a high priority of legislators and research funding is being cut bythe federal government. So why should one go into a career in higher education? The importantrewards are still the same as they were a half century ago!Foundations for the FutureFor the past several years there was an article published on the incoming class of freshman studentswith the emphasis being on the

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) established theJoint Task Force on Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001) to undertake a major review ofcurriculum guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing. The effort was to match thelatest developments of computing technologies in the past decade and last through the nextdecade [1]. The “Computing Curriculum 1991” [2] and other previous efforts of the IEEE-CSand ACM did not distinguish computer science from computer engineering programs. TheIEEE-CS and ACM established the Computing Curriculum - Computer Engineering (CCCE)Task Force in 2001 to develop a separate volume on computer engineering curricula tocomplement the CC2001 report. Other task forces also emerged to prepare separate volumes forcomputer

topics in science and engineering encourages students to engage moreconfidently in an unfamiliar discipline.Several different courses, focusing on different intersections, now exist. “Representing Scienceon Stage” focuses on the intersections between science and theatre, framed by an attempt todefine “science/scientist” and “performance/performer,” and to pull apart stereotypical binarypairs--rational vs. imaginative, objective vs. subjective, intellectual vs. emotional--using playswith science as its subject matter. Another course, “Representing Science and Technology in thePopular Media” teaches literary and critical analysis through close examination of popularscience texts, particularly science journalism.

This replacement nearly occurred inJanuary 2004 when Sir Cameron Mackintosh threatened to replace part of the LondonOrchestra in the musical Les Miserables with a “virtual orchestra.” Yet, to attend theopera and hearing synthesized music performed is akin to viewing lip-synching arias!Strange as it seems, musicians are being virtualized.

Vaughn, who coinedthe term ‘amoral calculation’ (previous footnote), argues persuasively that the well-accepted interpretationof the Challenger tragedy as a result of engineers being unwilling to strongly voice their opinions and themanagers being unwilling to listen to the engineers is over-simplified and misleading. See both Vaughn’sThe Challenger Launch Decision and Lynch and Kline’s “Engineering Practice and Engineering Ethics.”36 Derek Parfit, Reasons and Persons (Oxford: University Press, 1984), 381-387.
