Abstract
Engineers carry much responsibility and gain significant satisfaction from work well done. In the midst of that work, it is helpful to step back and reflect on the sources of the responsibility and satisfaction. My thesis is that our deepest convictions and religious beliefs (our worldviews) can help us interpret and inform the work we do as engineers. Furthermore, I posit that examination and clear articulation of worldviews can provide guidance for the project of educating future engineers to address (Heun, 2008) the engineering “grand challenges” (NAE, 2013).
