Outcome Element: Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global context Global - meaning to cross cultures and societies, example areas of impact include, but not limited to, environmental, political, and economic.	Can define key terms associated with understanding global issues. Lists the steps in a method for identifying impacts of an engineering solution that crosses cultures or societies. Can name sources of global impact knowledge. Describes how nations and peoples around the globe are related. Can recall the impacts of several engineering solutions, recent and historical, and their anticipated and unanticipated impacts Student can identify a variety of types of impacts for a engineering solution (i.e. environmental, political, economical). Can identify criteria to be considered when an engineering solution has a global presence (e.g., language issues, different safety standards, etc.)	Can describe situations where society has become more global. Can explain an illustration of how modern technologies have had a global impact (e.g. chemicals in environment, telecommunications). Can classify types of impacts an engineering solution in a global context. Can recognize examples where solving one engineering problem led to the development of other engineering-related problems (ex. development of nuclear energy to reduce depletion of oil results in increased nuclear waste; development of antibiotics to help reduce bacterial infections results in an evolution of more resistant strains of bacteria)	Can identify potential impacts, both short and long term, of an engineering solution currently being proposed. Uses knowledge about the interrelationships of peoples and environments around globe to identify impacts of engineering solutions. Identifies the relevant groups of people and environmental systems that need to be considered when evaluating an engineering solution.	Appraises the actual impacts of an engineering solution into the appropriate impacts	Summarizes the interrelated aspects of engineering solutions Incorporates gained knowledge of potential and actual impacts into the design process of an engineer.	Can assess conflicting / competing tradeoffs in order to make informed decisions about engineering solutions. Judges the acceptability of the impacts of an engineering solution	Respects the historical aspects of engineering solutions and their impacts. Actively seeks knowledge of the world events which his/her engineering activity likely affects

Outcome Element: Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context Societal – meaning issues associated with the groups of people and their beliefs, practices and needs	Can describe the key features characterizing an individual perspective Can identify a variety of practices, methods that others use Can define key terms associated with understanding societal context Can identify milestones in the evolution of current society, global society. Can state differences in needs that result from diversity in society Can state ways in which modern society is diverse. Can identify different facets by which an engineered solution impacts modern society (e.g. aesthetics, religion, economics) Can name sources of societal impact knowledge.	Can identify and characterize different perspectives (beliefs, practices, etc.). Can compare various practices/perspectives to identify similarities and differences. Can describe the role that science, technology and engineering has played in the development of modern society. Can describe how ideas and customs from other cultures have contributed to the engineering discipline and/or modern society.	Can explain engineering conflicts in terms of differences of perspectives. Can identify alternative mechanisms for solving a given problem. Can use knowledge to identify impacts of an engineering solution Can use knowledge of the ways in which ideas and customs from other cultures have contributed to modern life in order to support the identification of the impact of engineering solutions. Can identify the key attributes of perspective different from their own.	Appraises the failure of an engineering solution and investigate the role that unanticipated impacts played in the failure of the solution. Can appraise alternative mechanisms for solving a conflict of a society’s perspective.		Can critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their own perspectives Can assess conflicting / competing tradeoffs in order to make informed decisions about engineering solutions. Judges the acceptability of the impacts of an engineering solution	Actively seeks knowledge of society in which his/her engineering activity is situated Accepts perspectives different from their own.
