Islands. The NCEES Strategic Plan describes several issues that representchallenges to maintaining an effective licensure process. The document, which is periodicallyupdated by the board of directors, specifies goals associated with each of the issues and describesstrategies for achieving these goals [NCEES, 2012]. Vision The vision of NCEES is to provide leadership in professional licensure of engineers and surveyors through excellence in uniform laws, licensing standards, and professional ethics for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare and to shape the future of professional licensure. Mission The mission of NCEES is to advance licensure for engineers and surveyors in order to

, with the hope that students will model the physics of the problem situation, identify economic and ethical constraints, and find ways to base decisions on quantitative analysis. These types of problems have helped students understand the nature of engineering problems and decisions. However, by themselves, they do not show students the process of transferring basic theory to engineering practice and incorporating it into the “making-of-meaning” required for addressing engineering design problems2, 3.In this paper, it is proposed to augment these problems by asking the students (and instructor) toengage in problem posing and problem structuring. The goal is to suggest methods in concordancewith

. Introduction A quote by John Reinert, an engineering manager at Aeroflux Microelectronics inColorado Springs, CO states, “The soft skills are just as important the engineering skills.” Thisstatement has been proven to be true for companies of all sizes, particularly for small startups,which employ a large percentage of engineers who graduate from various schools. This isbecause at a small startup company that is trying to make in-roads into a new market, using thesesoft skills are extremely important. The technical skills are the defining skills and the soft skillsare the enabling skills. These soft skills include: Oral and written presentation skills, ethics,interpersonal skills, understanding globalization, how to function on teams as well
