Session 2461 Teaching Engineers How to Make A Difference: Integration of Public Policy Concepts into Engineering Curricula Betsy Ennis Dulin Marshall University College of Information Technology and EngineeringAbstractEngineers, regardless of their areas of specialization, routinely are involved in projects withbroad public policy implications. For example, engineers usually play a leading role in thedesign, permitting, and construction of controversial facilities. In addition, the design anddevelopment of any new technology

The programs wereofficially started up in the summer of 1997 with 5 students (1 CME and 4 ME students).II. Program DescriptionThe Kentucky Council on Higher Education Resolution included an explicit directive to UK,MSU, and PCC to cooperate in developing two new undergraduate engineering programs, one inchemical and one in mechanical engineering. In 1996, the Dean of the UK College ofEngineering, the Dean of the MSU College of Industry and Technology, and the PCC Presidentjointly assembled a team of approximately 20 faculty and staff to develop these two newbaccalaureate programs. This group included a representative from the Kentucky

Instead of permitting engineering educationto lag technology and society, “Should the engineering profession anticipate needed advancesand prepare for a future where it will provide more benefit to humankind?”[3]So the question becomes, how do we train engineers to be more entrepreneurially minded?What is an Entrepreneurially Minded Engineer?

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

majority of faculty who teach engineering studentsbelieve that the education of undergraduate and graduate students in either ethics and/or thebroader impacts of technology in their program are inadequate [16]. Topics included andmethods used to teach ethical issues in engineering vary widely [17], but often include codes orrules (85% in [17], 48% in [18]) and case studies (81% in [17], 67% [16]). Service-learningexperiences where engineering students work directly with impacted people and communitiesmay be particularly valuable for the ethical development of students [19, 20]. Emotion has beenfound to be a key element in the success of service-learning [21-23]. There may be a linkbetween the ethics educational outcomes and the emotional
