to think [2]. Liberal arts particularly helpstudents develop professional identities, soft skills, and engage with other cultures and histories[3] convincing students of the non-neutrality of technology [4]. Yet, the means for integratingliberal arts education into high credit hour, technical engineering programs remains far from asolved problem.Some engineering educators equate liberal arts with professional skills and hope that generaleducation requirements will provide students with the necessary breadth of critical thinking skills[2]. At the other end of the spectrum, a growing number of schools are offering bachelor’s of artsdegrees in “Science, Technology, and Society” or minors in urban sustainability and similarlyintegrated topics [5

Engineering (Fundamental)Our society increasingly depends on computers and digital devices. Most of the technologies thatwe use daily—from toothbrushes to traffic signals to smartphones have involved computationaltools in their conceptualization, manufacture, or operation. Increasingly, many engineeredsolutions rest heavily on computational thinking (CT). This raises the potential of using CT ineducational settings. Carefully designed integration of epistemic practices and tools can fosteropportunities for engineering education to be more authentic, powerful, and inviting.Attempts to integrate computational thinking with engineering in educational settings arerelatively recent. Initial research in this area suggests that the integration of CT with

This paper addresses this literature gap and aims to broaden theconceptualization of engineering identity by studying the development of engineering identity ofLatina/o undergraduates from their perspective and experiences. The forecasted growth of Latinas/os in the United States has encouraged a range ofinstitutions to assess how this shift in population will affect various programs of study especiallythose in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) where Latinas/os arecurrently underrepresented. In engineering, the number of Latina/o students enrolling hasincreased since the 1990s and it is projected to continue to increase, though not at the same rateas the Latina/o population growth.

Center for Advanced Technological Education (MCATE). Participants presented their modules in October of 1997 at Purdue. After participating in this workshop we were more convinced than ever that we needed to give our students a concurrent engineering experience, and we began to acquire the various software tools necessary for this work and to outfit a machine shop to support it. In December 1997 we obtained an examination copy of Pro-Engineer and hoped to use it that spring for the FIRST robot design. We found that the learning curve for this software was too long, so we continued with AutoCAD AME. This is not to speak badly of Pro-Engineer. It is a very powerful software package, but for our purposes

U.S. Dept. of Labor estimatesthat the job market for biomedical engineers will increase by 31.4%, faster than the average of alloccupations, through 2010. This is double the overall job growth rate of 15.2% and more thanthree times the overall growth rate of 9.4% for all engineering jobs1,2. However, BME educationhas not kept pace with this rapid growth and development. There are fewer than 90 institutions inthe US offering some form of a BME program, mostly at the graduate level3. In fact, only 28 ofthese institutions offer an accredited undergraduate BME degree program4 . As we look at the number of degrees conferred, the situation is not looking

Restructuring of the mechanical engineering curriculum at USA is alsoprompted by the changing ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) requirements fordesign. Under the current criteria, design is defined as "an experience that must grow with the student'sdevelopment," and "the
work.Educational research has shown that there are many different types of learners. In typical basic courses, onlyone teaching method is employed -- lecture. On average, students learn better when they are active participantsin the learning process. Group efforts, hands-on learning and self-directed learning are some of the manymethods that encourage better learning.Finally, the use of advanced technology is common in many engineering courses. It is not as common in thelower division courses. All of our upper division engineering courses use computers heavily. Other schoolshave tried integrating computer applications such as symbolic algebra programs in calculus with great success.Some universities require that entering students purchase their own

Forthe next few weeks, I visited different departments on campus searching for something I would like to do.None of them interested me enough to make the switch. So I went back to the Chair and told him that Iwas going to try and stick it out. He suggested that I consider an Engineering Technology degree instead.But since I would still need to take the same core courses as the Chemical Engineering curricula, I told himthat I may as well go for the real thing. The Chairman of the Department then made a statement that wouldstick with me for the rest of my life.
