As a result, resources allocated to their projects were wasted, andsome funded projects were put at risk. The graduate program was restructured by the newdepartment head to offer a non-thesis option Master of Engineeering (MEng) program for themajority of students in a dual-degree BS/MEng program (and MEng format for those whoalready were BS graduates), and a thesis option for a minority of students in a research-basedBS/MS program (and MS form for those who already were BS graduates).

Emphasis is placed on students exploring their own leadership abilities and theways in which they influence group outcomes: interpersonal skills, judgment, moral courage,innovation, sustainability, global collaboration and emotional intelligence appear as key topics,as does the notion of the interrelatedness of ethics and sustainability in a

relationship between engineers and the characteristics so desirable of prestigious careers:working to better society and working to improve lives. It is likely that once this occurs, moreyoung people might consider pursuing careers in engineering. In particular, it is thought suchcareers might especially appeal to females and others who have not been well-represented intraditional engineering fields. A report by the Extraordinary Women Engineers Project foundthat “High school girls believe engineering is for people who love both math and science. Theydo not have an understanding of what engineering is. They do not show an interest in the field,nor…think it is ‘for them.’”5 The same report suggests that this may have to do with thedisconnect between

Thenin the 1960’s came the environmental movement followed by the countercultural critique of thedehumanizing effects of technology. Underlying these new sources of discontent withtechnology and engineers is the realization that the material comforts and reduced drudgerybrought about by engineering have not brought about the anticipated superior human beings, pluswe live with potentially serious unintended consequences.It might be accurate then to
