Young, Cole, and Denton argued that “Even engineers, who havetraditionally been considered experts in technology, may not have the training or experiencenecessary to think about the social, political, and ethical implications of their work and so maynot be technologically literate” (p. 15). The papers presented at the 2016 conference (7 of the12), echo this recognition. Krupczak and Mina’s “An Exercise to Promote and Assess CriticalThinking in Sociotechnical Context” (2016a) is the most full and direct expression ofengineering students as a primary audience for TEL education. Working from the premise that“less attention has been given to examining if individuals trained as engineers actually possess abroad understanding of technology and are

engineers deal with a wide variety of information at various steps of a project. Time constraints imposed on the design team as well the need for diverse information challenges design engineers. Diverse information ranges from abstract ideas in the conceptual design step to the smallest details in the detailed design, from checking patents for new ideas to avoid any infringing of existing patents and trade names. Because of this need, the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) has articulated the importance of student outcomes to include “(f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”, and “(i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.” [5]  Design

Furthermore, exposure to real-world challenges, especially when presented in anactive and practical learning environment increases both student interest and pedagogicaleffectiveness. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) in its report, “Educating theEngineer of 2020,” contends that solving the Grand Challenges will require more than justproviding students with technical training. It argues that an engineering education must producegraduates who combine technical excellence with a multitude of other skills includingcommunication, teaming, ethical reasoning, and contextual analysis.

and rulesProfessional engineering societies encourage professional licensure. They do this through policystatements and advocacy work. Two groups that are particularly relevant to civil engineers arethe American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the National Society of ProfessionalEngineers (NSPE). Both groups have a code of ethics. A review of these codes reveals thatASCE and NSPE members are not ethically bound to be licensed; in fact neither code of ethicsdirectly mentions licensure [7], [8]. However, a review of policy statements from both groupsprovides more depth regarding professional engineering licensure in general and specifically forfaculty.ASCE Policy Statement 130 states that ASCE “supports and promotes the professional
