Engineering Education and Practice: Embracing a Catholic Vision is
a collection of essays exploring how major themes of Catholic
social teaching-respect for the environment, sustainability,
technological design, and service to the poor-all positively affect
engineering curricula, students, and faculty. Many engineering
programs at American universities focus solely on developing
technological sophistication without promoting ethical and
humanitarian priorities. The contributors to this collection argue,
however, that undergraduate engineering education needs to be
broadened beyond its current narrow restrictions. The authors of
this unique collection, nearly all of whom are engineers
themselves, show how some Christian universities in the United
States have found creative ways of opening up their engineering
curricula. They demonstrate how the professional education of
engineers can be enriched not only by ethical and religious themes,
which are typically isolated in humanities curricula, but also by
special fieldwork courses that offer hands-on service-learning
opportunities and embody a rich educational synthesis.
