residents were asked to reduce the amount of bathroom water used. The reservoir came within one day of having no usable water supply, and the student’s university came close to shutting off the water supply to all dormitories. Luckily, a substantial rainfall event avoided this situation. Anticipating future droughts, City and University administrators asked local engineering firms to develop a plan to reduce the amount of water used by businesses in the area and the dorms serving the students at your university. These plans are to be implemented by the year 2020. Failure to implement these technologies results in stiff financial fines.After reading this description, the students answered questions outlined in Table 2. Thesequestions were designed

Secondly, because there are fewer mid-levelemployees, less-experienced engineers are frequently stretched into leadership roles beyond whatwould typically be given them.Interviews with several technology executives estimate that nearly 80% of projects led by thesewell motivated, but raw, chiefs fail in achieving many of the key objectives of the project, at bestcreating a non-optimal product; at worst something unworthy of taking to market.Adding to the difficulty of developing engineering leadership is distilling the difference betweenmanagement and leadership.

Priorstudies of people’s (children and adults) perceptions of engineering describe peoples’ ability tonotice the visible aspect of engineering created by civil (buildings, bridges), mechanical (cars,machines) and electrical engineering (electrical energy that runs our machines). An examinationof their descriptions of engineering, however, often contains misconceptions. If teachers are partof the solution to develop students’ awareness of engineering, then we need to better understandtheir abilities to identify engineering within the world and to talk about it with their students.

Only for 2000, the students who completed the 4- year program leading up to the B.S. degree are also considered.

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.
