In other words,education is the mean for developing the mind for the betterment of the individual and society.Advances in science and technology mean that the world will continue to change rapidly, so thatthe knowledge learned by students in specific careers will have a short lifespan.

This curriculum approach cultivates students’ ways of thinking and being andcan help develop more independent and critically thoughtful engineers.​10​ To design such acurriculum, the first step is to define overall program goals.
