This gift explicitly linked the Douglas and Julie Rock EthicsInstitute in Liberal Arts and the Leonhard Center. When the Directors of the Institute and Centermet to discuss possible joint projects, they quickly decided

The program will be fullylaunched for the academic year 2003-2004.I. Introduction While the baccalaureate degree may have sufficed for most practicing engineers, it isbecoming increasingly evident that current technological and societal needs demand a greaterlevel of preparation for the profession. In fact, engineering is the only profession where anundergraduate degree is a

way of engineering application.Inherent to many of these applications has been the harvesting of natural resources and thesubsequent discharge of by-products back to the environment. This cycling of natural resourcesresulted in the need for technology that would sustain the resources upon which society depends.The science of ecology has branched off from biology and is now an established field of its ownwith the ecosystem as its basic functional unit. While the physical, chemical and biologicalsciences have found their place in engineering design, ecology has yet to be embraced in such amanner.One basic principle of ecosystem function is their ability to self-design.

However, this is not the case for the engineering profession where AfricanAmerican and Hispanic Americans compose only 11.7% of engineering occupations(approximately 1 in 10). Many factors contribute to the underrepresentation of thesepopulations in technological fields.One primary variable determining access to the engineering profession is the attainmentof the bachelor of science degree in engineering.

Chemicalengineering students are exposed to a variety of new technologies. However, some of thosetechnologies are developing into official degree programs and concentrations in their own right.It is feasible that significant parts of the chemical engineering curriculum can form the foundationof these

profession [16]. Rather than being primarily seen as somethingthat someone is (as is the case for most social identities), this definition sees engineering assomething that someone does [16], [17]. Thus, many studies show that undergraduateengineering students associate engineering with specific cognitive, affective, and performancevariables [16]. For example, research has found that professional identity was closely connectedto competence in technology adoption, scientific thinking, and professional knowledge, and thatstudents see engineering as a way of thinking about and using math, science, communication,and problem-solving [18], [19]. In this conception of engineering identity, competence stands outas a significant factor—it acts as a bridging
