Who benefits from higher education,the individual or the society? If the emphasis is on individual benefits, should universitiestry to turn that around? What is the pay back expected of a university graduate to thesociety which funded his or her education? Who should fund research? Are public-privatepartnerships inevitably tainted? Should private donations, complete with limitations andconditions, increase or decrease? Engineering educators are centrally involved in thesedeliberations, on both a local and a global scale. Their contributions to the dialoguewould be valuable.In the end, it is

years. It was strongly recommended that design be a consideration in teachingthroughout a four year education, but it was noted that few universities actually give credit forconsecutive design courses through a four year education. Whatever the placement of the course(most are senior two semester courses) the consensus was that one needs to cover hard skills(project management, resource mining, and constraints), soft skills (technical communication,and team dynamics) and concept coverage (ethics, safety, intellectual property.) Design shouldprovide the integration of theory and practice, provide skills for employment, and be done insuch a manner as to over satisfy ABET minimum requirements. The design experience must

AbstractOften, engineering departments are faced with the need to update laboratory exercises andequipment. However, adequate funds do not always exist to accomplish these upgrades in atimely manner. Another challenge faced by departments are satisfying Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for a major design experience within thecurriculum. ABET guidelines state, “Students must be prepared for engineering practice throughthe curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraintsthat include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability;manufacturability; ethical

These concerns are clearly legitimate, but theycan be addressed with proper conflict management.Proponents have recognized the current trend that both domestic and foreign corporations arerelying more heavily on external technology and intellectual property to feed their commercialpipeline.

To set the context, it is helpfulto explore recent trends in scholarship, innovation and research in engineering education.Scholarship, Innovation and Research in Engineering EducationThere has been a sustained discourse on matters concerning the practice of engineering educationfor at least a century, through the journals of the various professional engineering societiesincluding a number of journals with education in the title.

Thus, in addition to general,introductory, and specialized classes in mathematics, physics, and engineering, students arerequired to take courses in diversity, social science, and general education.
