Engineers have traditionally viewed the process of design as beingobjective and quantitative and involving the application of science and technology. The termdesign is also often associated with another perspective that involves a strong subjective,qualtitative or artistic content. The automobile is a good example. The engineer might see thenew automobile design in terms of performance capabilities such as speed, fuel consumption,weight, etc., all objective measures of the product, where the style designer sees shape, color andvisual appeal, all typically subjective measures

The removal of this part of thecode (required by a federal court order) did not change the basic perspective of the society’sleadership, for they still prefer the old method. All that is changed is that the NSPE can no longeropenly label an engineer who practices competitive bidding as being someone who is practicing in anunethical manner.VII.

In following decades,engineering educators addressed this need by including courses on technical writing in theircurricula. But some educators felt that approach was insufficient and they debated whetherwriting courses should be elective or required. For example, Davis, a professor of English at theAir Force Institute of Technology who surveyed 245 professional engineers in 1975 on theimportance of technical writing in their careers, summarized the situation at the time: “Althoughtechnical writing is coming to be accepted as a respectable course offering in engineeringprograms, it is still regarded as an ‘add-on’ by

cycle. Our research question is organized by a five-step engineering designcycle (developed by Alan Cheville at Oklahoma State University). These steps are distilled fromthe ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) who judges the quality of auniversity’s degree program (key words are underlined): Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis
