Abstract: | Many aspects of design require engineers to make choices based on non-quantifiable personal perspectives. These decisions
touch issues in aesthetics, ethics, social impact, and responsibility and sustainability. Part of Baylor University’s mission
is to provide a learning community in which Christian life values and worldviews might be integrated into academic disciplines.
In view of this institutional commitment, members of the Engineering faculty are investigating how Christian worldviews might
interact with elements of engineering design in such a way as to produce uniquely Christian insights and inform the non-quantifiable
aspects of the engineering process.
