with a foundation of knowledge in science,basic theory, and technical subjects as they prepare for their real-life counterparts. Practitioners believe that theworkplace requires graduating engineers to have many basic skills including the ability to work on a team and tocommunicate with one’s peers and supervisors. In addition, there is need for the capabilities of utilizing infor-mation technology, focusing on customer and societal needs, as well as ethical and environmental concerns, andunderstanding global needs and market forces. Therefore, the focus of engineering education should be on theimmediate applicability of the engineering knowledge to the end user. Due to system constraints, university faculty find it difllcult to remain

Some innovative compo-nents of this effort are the collaborative approach to teaching (engineer + architect), the use of televisedlaboratory experiments (as opposed to live demonstration labs) and the use of information technologies forfaculty-student interaction (fax, voice mail and electronic mail). The course is broadcast twice a week(three hours each time) for 12 weeks. Students in the region may watch the lectures at the broadcast time orthey may record them for future viewing. Students living outside the broadcast area subscribe to a systemthat delivers the videotapes by regular mail every week. The course has been offered for three terms and

Each EPICS project team consists of seven to ten engineering students. The teams are verticallyintegrated - each is a mix of sophomores, juniors and seniors - and a student can participate in a project for upto three years. The continuity provided by this structure allows projects to last for many years. Projects ofsignificant size and impact are thus possible.
