of EER&I research, audiences that need to be aware of the impact onengineering education, potential systematic processes for documenting impact, and plans forpiloting some processes for documenting impact. Metrics ranged from the relativelystraightforward measures of the number of engineering education programs and productivity ofthose programs and individual researchers, which could be expected to have impact, to the moresubtle changes in attitude toward EER&I and extent of implementation of the results of EER&Iresearch, which would reflect the impact. Some of those subtle changes include attitudes towardwho can/should be an engineer and how the engineering culture, and courses, can change tobroaden participation in engineering

Another problematicassumption made in the students’ economic proposal was that what works under consumercapitalism in the U.S., where a high percentage of the population has expendable income, wouldwork in the very different economic circumstances of Nicaragua. The project was ultimatelystalled at the proposal stage because of disagreement about this point.By the time they reach their senior capstone, engineering students have often had few- if any-courses that require them to consider empathic approaches to designing for a client orcommunity whose racial, ethnic, national, socioeconomic, or other demographic backgrounddiffers from their own. This experience gap is reflected when students don’t have the tools tounderstand the needs of

At the professional level, however,engineers have not engaged in the philosophical and ethical dimensions of their humanitarianinterventions as other professions have done [6].

   In The Courage to Teach, Parker Palmer explores an approach to educational transformationby engaging in deep inquiry of fundamental questions of what, how, why, and who (Palmer1998). We often start out with content and curriculum – the what that is being taught. If wedig a bit deeper, we begin to consider pedagogical structures – the how we are teaching thewhat. Occasionally, we may ask why we are teaching what we teach. Rarely, however, dowe get to the point of reflecting and sharing the personal values present in our teaching andlearning endeavor – the root questions of who are we as teachers, and equally important,who are our students as learners? These three elements – curricular content (what),pedagogical structure (how), and personal
