In the book, Educating Engineers: Designing for the future ofthe field, Sheri D. Sheppard et al. (2008) 20 highlight that engineers cannot continue to functionas a “neutral problem-solver” because the work of engineers has a global impact. In a similarvein, Miller (2007) 14 makes an argument for engineers to be prepared beyond technology andtechnical skills. Twenty-first century prepared engineers will need competencies “in teamwork,communication, entrepreneurial thinking, creativity and design, and cross-disciplinary thinkingin a global context” (Miller, 2007, p. 1) .A range
