WEPAN’s mission is to be acatalyst for change that enhances the success of women in the engineering profession.Since 1990, WEPAN has worked to ensure that a full range of talent – including women from alldemographic groups – choose to enter the engineering profession and will have the supportnecessary to succeed. With new technologies, global competitive pressures, and shiftingemployment patterns, that work has become even more critical.

decisions about energy consumption or conservation in your everyday life.The course differs from traditional engineering energy courses by introducing students to modernenergy concepts through a sociotechnical paradigm [6-18]. Instead of a myopic focus on thetechnical elements of engineering (i.e., the dominant historical discourse), the sociotechnicalparadigm equally values the social elements. The supposition is that one can’t design well norethically without doing so within social contexts. For this course, one vehicle we used for thisapproach was the PESTLE framework, which supported students in conducting energy analyseswithin Political, Economic, Sociological, Technological, Legal and Environmental contexts [33].The course is also

Once there, the study will continue to evaluatetheir performance in the oil company’s CAMS system. Only then will we be able todetermine whether the ‘hands on’ education that they have received at the PetroleumInstitute has made any difference to their intrinsic motivation. It appears that at this stage,motivation and ability compares very favourably with the men.

lacking. Many groups defineengineering circuitously, by using technology or engineering within the definition itself. He thenworks to define engineering through the ethical considerations of the profession. Additionally,to define engineering, he differentiates it from science. In a workshop given to scientists andengineers, he asked whether they would rather “invent something useful” or “discover newknowledge” 16. The scientists had a hard time answering and ended up split in their decision,while all of the engineers chose something useful. Therefore, he claims, “The primarycommitment of engineers is not to knowledge, theoretical or applied, as one would expect ofscientists, but to human welfare” 17. He concludes that engineers believe they are
