IntroductionThe engineering community is rediscovering its roots of professionalism. During the past decadeengineering education moved beyond single minded devotion to science and technology byembracing multidisciplinary studies. To complete the transition from engineering scientists backto engineering professionals, education for the next decade is focusing on incorporating ethics andsocial responsibility into the curriculum

that changes are needed in theengineering classrooms, and the need to think about women as a diverse group. Femaleundergraduate engineering students are typically studied with little attention paid to theintersection of race/ethnicity and gender. Some researchers consider this dual minority status tobe a “double-bind 1” while other researchers look at how attributes of certain underrepresentedracial backgrounds offer advantages to female students in Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM) fields 2. Despite continued calls for disaggregated data on race and gender,few datasets have detailed information on student experiences with sufficient representation ofunderrepresented minorities to facilitate statistical analysis 3.Using

McKenna’s current research focuses on high school engineering students. In this work, he strives to connect student participation in authentic discourse prac- tices, student understandings of the content under study and the process of effective communication, and the products they are designing. He is also pursuing the relationships between professional engineering practices and the ecology of high school

ecological processes throughout history. We havealtered many aspects of nature. Some believe, or even insist, that nature will restoreitself, if we stop intervening with its processes (List, 1993). Without commonly heldphilosophy and belief systems, society must use various governmental problem solvingmechanisms for consensus development. Values are not necessarily right or wrong.Achieving a consensus requires identifying and balancing values of the group. The growing environmental and societal concern about engineered productscreates a compelling need to consider these factors in the design phase. Direct andindirect impacts of modern technology on environment and human society and qualityof natural resources likewise creates compelling need

Although it is possible to run these Cadence tools on aSparc II, it is recommended that as least a Sparc 5 is used with 32MB of memory. The laboratorywill require systems administration for maintenance and software upgrades. Cadence providesCNU with regular upgrades as part of our annual agreement which costs $5,000/year.

A student who lays in-between level 2 and level 3 would be ourgoal for the typical graduate. Level 2 is a minimal goal for a graduate. Level 4 isaspirational. These levels are:Level 1: Understands that technological change and development have both positive and negative impactsLevel 2: Identifies and evaluates the assumptions made by others in their description of the role and impact of engineering on

One of thebiggest obstacles in assessment is the inability to engage students in the awareness of programoutcomes and their importance in the curriculum. Many students see them as overly generalizedstatements that have no bearing on the concepts they need to pass a given course. Thus,dissemination of the notion and value of program outcomes is a major challenge for the faculty.Examples of freshman class assignments and projects that address specific program outcomes ina mechanical engineering department are presented.
