Session Description

Engineering education often focusses on preparing students to be product or service providers (in government speak, working for a contractor). However, the government, as the customer for products and services, also needs engineers (about 1 for every 5 in industry) to focus setting requirements (rather than design), maintaining (rather than building), operational testing, reverse engineering, and researching technology without a clear business case. This lecture will survey the key differences between serving as an engineer as a customer in the government, with application to educators preparing customers and solution providers alike.

What valuable insights and qualifications do the speakers bring for giving a presentation on this topic? Each speaker served a role on their institution’s respective RED teams, either as PI, disciplinary faculty, or engineering education expert. Their perspectives will provide attendees with insights about how RED has impacted their departments and what non-RED departments can learn and apply to their own educational contexts.
Who is the intended audience? What populations of our ASEE members does it engage? The session will appeal to attendees in all disciplines of engineering and computer science, since the RED program is open to all disciplines.
What outcomes do you hope to achieve through undertaking this Topical Plenary? We hope to encourage the dissemination of RED project products through possible collaboration between RED and non-RED departments. We also envision individuals learning more about the RED program and possibly submitting their own proposals.
Who will manage Sessions? Dr. Tom Martin and Dr. Julia Williams will moderate the session.
Provide a one-page biography with photo for each speaker. If the plenary proposal is accepted, these photos will be used to help advertise your session. Since the number of participants is long, we won’t provide photos individuals but perhaps rely on a logo used to promote RED.

Session Description

Engineering education produces highly skilled professionals, and engineers from all disciplines impact our world in small and big ways every day. The work of engineers has increased our life expectancy, produced life-saving technologies, improved our ability to connect with distant places and people, enabled communications across and beyond the ends of the Earth, and created joyful media and entertainment experiences, to name just a few.

Yet many engineered solutions have also led to unintended negative social and environmental impacts. Furthermore, the negative impacts of climate change, pollution, and health disparities, disproportionately impact people from historically marginalized communities. People of color and women are underrepresented in engineering, but their perspectives and lived experiences are critical to developing the best engineering solutions that no longer perpetuate environmental, economic, and social disparities.

To both address and avoid negative impacts across the range of activities that engineers impact, all engineers must be prepared in a broad range of skills that fall under the broad umbrella of sustainability. These include technical skills such as Life-Cycle Assessment and energy measurement, as well as high-demand professional skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership skills, and the critical thinking to evaluate ethical issues and trade-offs.

In the corporate world, sustainability has gone from “nice-to-have” to business critical. Companies, including engineering leaders, are moving beyond discrete actions and sustainability siloes and toward a holistic approach to sustainability. As the aspirations of employers turn toward imbuing sustainability across engineering and business functions, the demand for sustainability skills is outweighing the supply (LinkedIn 2022).

Professional engineering associations are calling for changes in how engineers are educated to reflect the increasing professional demand for sustainability. ABET, the global engineering accreditation body, already includes several learning outcomes related to sustainability in its general criteria.

Driven by such structural changes and their own sense of priorities, engineering educators are increasingly seeking to introduce sustainability into coursework. However, having either not taught these concepts before or having limited bandwidth and resources to make curricular changes, they often seek teaching tools, capacity-building, and course buy-outs or resources.

Session Description

Over the past decade, colleges and universities have focused their efforts on student success as measured by increased graduation rates and reduced time to degree. These efforts have led to major gains, and they are ongoing. They have also naturally led to the next frontier in higher education where success is measured not only by graduation rates but also by impact on students' wellbeing long after graduation. This greater goal is as appropriate to small liberal arts colleges as it is to regional and national public universities. If college is in fact meant to prepare students to achieve financial viability, find meaning in their human relationships and their work, contribute to the common good, and achieve lifelong wellbeing and satisfaction, higher education needs to establish which experiences during a student’s education are most likely to lead to these life-transformative outcomes. This talk will describe some of the forces that are currently buffeting higher education as well as the work of the Coalition for Life Transformative Education in moving us toward a future in which students are empowered with identity, agency, and purpose.
