GrandChallenges are key initiatives fostering innovations to solve the world’s problems in relation tosustainability, health, vulnerability, and human wellbeing. Subsequently, in 2009, the NAEGrand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) was announced at the GC Summit in Durham,North Carolina9, 10.

In practice, successful engineering solutions shouldconsider community beliefs, and knowledge of water related issues. Such skills have not beenincluded as part of the course curriculum outcomes.The pilot public education research project was conceived to provide students with theexperience of communicating with the surrounding community.

At the 2013 Conference of American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), Chinchilla investigated the question as a matter of ethics and saving industrytraining costs 1.

Additionally, other concerns about thequality and effectiveness of teaching learning environments in the U.S. are also registered.Educational paradigms that served us well in the past may not be adequate for the future. Welive in a rapidly changing world, with a global job market, global educational competition, aglobally integrated economy3, conflicting educational values, increasing multicultural trends,burdening educational cost, rising security crisis, growing ethical and moral conflicts, wideningincome gaps, and unstable financial conditions.

It is hard to convince many employers to give an engineer with overseas degrees and experience

301The skillsets chosen for an engineer are those that are clearly identified by all stakeholders in theeducation of such engineers. The stakeholders include not only the students themselves, but thefuture employers, the professors and the university community, and the society as a whole. Thisis true especially for state universities that are partially supported by the public tax and industrysupport.A complete set of blended skillsets are as follows: • Understanding Case Formats • Quantitative Skills • Oral and Written Communication Skills • Critical Thinking • Creativity • Problem Solving • Ethical Decision Making • Information Literacy • Team Working Skills • Self-Direction • Leadership

In fact,the Writing the Literature Review workshop was developed as a direct response to anoverwhelming request by faculty for this type of training for the engineering graduate students.ConclusionAnecdotal evidence for the series’ success is strong. During the 2013-2014 academic year, moststudents who have completed the series won ‘best thesis’ and ‘best dissertation’ awards as wellas received graduate fellowships and financial prizes.
