. Despite industrial trends and employers’expectations, a gap exists between the mastery of teaming skills expected and thosedemonstrated by new engineering graduates. Employers expect college students to possess theseskills and often complain that college graduates have not learned the team approach to problemsolving.1 Employers, along with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET),expect better preparation in these areas to be incorporated into the engineering curriculum at thecollege and university level. 1, 2 ABET stated in EC 2000, Criteria for Accrediting Programs,that one program outcome and assessment measure for engineering programs is to demonstratethat their graduates have an ability to function on multi

assessment.IntroductionThe Chemical Engineering curriculum traditionally has been recognized for its breadth, partiallydue to the number of courses taken outside the discipline (e.g. chemistry, materials, circuits, etc.).More recently the multidisciplinary nature of the curriculum has increased due to theincorporation of examples of newer technologies such as semiconductor processing,biotechnology and environmental engineering into the majority of the required courses. Chemicalengineering students are exposed to a variety of new technologies. However, some of thosetechnologies are developing into official degree programs and concentrations in their own right.It is feasible that significant parts of the chemical engineering curriculum can form the foundationof these

An initial freshman coursewas offered at Northeastern in winter 2001, which primarily dealt with acoustic imaging 2. In2001 an ‘Introduction to Engineering’ module on imaging was developed at Boston Universitythrough CenSSIS.
