Yet, 21st centuryskills have been embraced by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)and are included in the standards for engineering programs [15]. The 21st century skills includecollaboration and teamwork, creativity, communication, emotional competency, culturalcompetency, ethics, leadership and management, critical thinking, and content knowledge. Afundamental shift in the ABET engineer paradigm with the adoption of the 21st centuryframework reflects a focus on engineers as being at the service to society.

One of the definingcharacteristics of design is that there is rarely a single correct answer to an engineering problembut, rather, an optimal or acceptable solution leading to a final design, presented as the bestpossible balance between technical as well as non-technical constraints. These non-technicalconstraints, typically involve: economics, politics, social and environmental issues, ethics, etc.And, while professional practitioners generally accept this understanding of design, students, byenlarge, tend to interpret the engineering design process as an unambiguous and clearly definedprocess supported by rigidly applied principles and processes of “the scientific method.”Students’ vision
