Motivating Students Towards Professional Thinking
Publication: Engineering Issues: Journal of Professional Activities
Volume 101, Issue 1
Abstract
Professionalism is an important part of the student's training and his success or failure as a practicing engineer depends heavily on how well he has learned professionalism in his developing years. This places a great burden of responsibility on the educator who, if he is to teach professionalism, must himself think and behave as a professional and who must be practically oriented. The environment established by the educator is the real motivation. To attain the goal of motivating students towards professional thinking, a communication should be maintained between the college, graduate engineers, and industry so that the college's successes and failures can be monitored and corrective actions can be taken where necessary. Such a communication is apt to strengthen the cooperation between education and practice so that these two elements, in concert, will more effectively prepare the young engineer for the professional life.
