ABSTRACT

Engineering programs everywhere are developing mission statements and outcome assessment plans. Messiah College in Grantham, PA, aims to graduate engineers who are “technically competent and broadly educated, prepared for interdisciplinary work in the global workplace.” Moreover, we want to influence our students so that their professional character and conduct would be “consistent with Christian faith commitments.” The familiar process of gaining and learning to use new information achieves many of our goals for would-be engineers. But how do we grow beyond merely doing good engineering and learn to do good with our engineering?
