in meeting the challenges of a globalized world. The destruction of the artificialdichotomy between engineering and humanity engendered by a “mentor-focused” pedagogy will,by definition, produce more holistic graduates.31Every course should have a global focusWhile the shibboleth of interdisciplinary cooperation has already been broached, it is incumbentupon faculty and curriculum committees to expand their focus on this subject if the challenge ofglobalization is going to be met by this generation.32 The time for offering an olive branch to theSocial Sciences Department, and likeminded colleagues, is long past – engineering departmentsmust be willing to throw them a tow line and haul them into the boat.Integration, however, is not an act of

Stanford became the motheruniversity of silicon valley in the 1930s and supported the development of electronicsfirms such as that formed by Stanford graduates William Hewlett and David Packard.Clark6 describes the resulting Hewlett Packard company as the classic university spin-off. The university supplied materials and a physics lab for a 50% interest in futurepatents. Ties between the university and firms were close and collaborative. Theuniversity opened its classrooms to local businesses. Marginson11 believes that the IvyLeague universities in the USA are

Becausethese activities occur within real world constraints, comprehension is better understoodby students as a fundamental anchor for production. Students focus on language learningas collaborative praxis. Misidentifications (i.e. morder used to translate “to bite” whenreferencing mosquitoes) were clarified as a group when individual results werecompared in class, where speculation on a probable translation became an exercise incultural nuance.

students’ tests determined that this methodwas sufficient for their proof of concept prototype. This design decision proved an interestingexample of a compromise between the technique taught to the students and the practicalconstraints of a real design project.The miner location tracking team also had to build a VLC transmitter circuit that could drive aminer’s headlamp using similar techniques. The system communicated with a software programthat displayed the miner’s identity and location on a user interface shown in Figure 2a. The doorsecurity team had to build additional circuitry to control a door-locking mechanism shown inFigure 2b. They also wrote their own Android app that used the phone camera’s LED flash totransmit the VLC signal. The

professional standards are less important than theability of the student or graduate to benefit as far as possible. Teaching is favoured overresearch and a Newmanite philosophy is preferred.The entrepreneurial view, suggests Trowler, is that vocationalism is favoured over theNewmanite ideal, skills over content and teaching over research. For the enterpriseacademic a binary divide between research universities and teaching institutes oftechnology is appropriate and protects against academic

Outcomes play a pivotal role in the success of the outcome based education and assessment.To understand OBE, it helps to compare it to the educational system that existed before it, whichfocused more on the input and output and, to some extent, the delivery process. In contrast to thepreexisting models of quality evaluation (Figure 2), the system in OBE revolves around the pivotof outcomes—or the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that the learners can actually demonstrateat the time of the graduation

Interestingly, theNAE’s three main attributes for the Engineer of 2020 coincide with the three attributes thatSternberg claims will help students achieve “successful intelligence”6,7. According to Sternberg,intelligence is demonstrated when one is capable of balancing one’s skills in adapting to,shaping, and selecting the environment that best matches one’s strongest skills, values, anddesires7,8.
