Gen. David Herrelko, the newly named New Engineer Leadership Professor in UD's School of Engineering. One of our main purposes is to help new engineers discover for themselves the true end and real business of living. The program, which draws from all engineering majors, will also prepare students for the changing role of an engineer. They can count on the technical competence of our students. What they want to see is graduates with integrity and high ethical standards who can work with teams, manage multiple projects and see the potential implications of their decisions.
Dynamics can spill over into thermal properties, for instance.
The students will also take part in the University's Core program of study, said Kevin Hallinan, director of the New Engineer program. Only 150 students are accepted each year into the Core program, where faculty members work together to integrate intensive studies in history, literature, religious studies, philosophy and other disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences to foster connected learning and comprehensive knowledge. Herrelko is meeting individually with New Engineer students to set up personal development programs as they begin their college years, and he and Hallinan will act as mentors for them. New Engineers will be clustered in residence halls, classes and service activities, and academic group projects will be structured to emphasize solutions that address more than technical concerns. Engineers change society, and they have a responsibility to do their jobs better than in the past.
