European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
Engineering education needs to develop the competencies required for engineering work, and attract and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This study investigated the possibility that the perceived importance of competencies is subconsciously influenced by gendered assumptions, and as a consequence, this lowers the status given to stereotypically

Journal of Management in Engineering, 1995
Value Engineering is a proven management technique used to identify alternative approaches for satisfying the requirements of the project cost while lowering costs and ensuring technical competence in performance. As a result of the increasing pressures of budget constraints, federal contractors should consider the merits of VE for implementation of ...

Technology and Culture, 1986
The nature of engineering, and more particularly the ways in which engineers are trained and the kinds of work they do, are matters of vital concern in our society. This concern and many of the policy issues associated with it are examined in a recently completed study organized and conducted by the National Academy of Engineering and the National ...

Engineering design thinking, teaching, and learning
IEEE Engineering Management Review, 2005This paper is based on the premises that the purpose of engineering education is to graduate engineers who can design, and that design thinking is complex. The paper begins by briefly reviewing the history and role of design in the engineering curriculum.

Teaching Ethics
This article advances the thesis that our values and beliefs about engineering critically impact the teaching of engineering ethics, and our representations and assumptions about engineering are, accordingly, ethical questions we must consider. To illustrate how in broader sociohistorical contexts, different understandings of engineering have shaped ...

Engineers Don't Think Enough About Engineering
Structures Congress 2013, 2013Engineers often complain that non-engineers do not really understand or appreciate what engineers do for a living. At least some of this can be attributed to the persistent failure of engineers to reflect thoughtfully on what they do, how they do it, and why it matters, so that they can then articulate such information clearly to others.

Engineering systems thinking and systems thinking
Systems Engineering, 2000This article deals with the question what distinguishes “engineering systems thinking” from “systems thinking”? Based on research findings, Senge's systems thinking laws were “adapted” to the “engineering systems thinking”—some were substantially modified, some replaced, and in some only the phrasing was changed.

Unfolding the Engineering Thinking of Undergraduate Engineering Students
2022Professional engineers think and act in distinctive ways when addressing engineering problems. Students need to develop this reasoning or engineering thinking during their education. Unfolding the undergraduate students’ thinking is a necessary step in designing experiences and teaching materials that foster not only their understanding of engineering ...
