problems facing the globe will need creative engineering solutionsduring this century. If this is the case, what sorts of engineers do we need to be educating forthe 21st century? What capabilities will they need? What will be their focus? As this paper isfor an ASEE conference, we have concentrated our attention on engineering practitioners butwe provide an example from broader professional education in the Master of SustainablePractice.Reviews of Engineering EducationThe last ten years has seen a series of reviews of engineering education. From these reviewshas come an outcomes focus in engineering accreditation. The reviews continue to describeengineers as primarily technical problem solvers, e.g. the National Academy of Engineering’s“Engineer

We would have to employ a master-slave relationship, because adevice can only pair with one Bluetooth device at one time. The left insole would be the master,and correspondence with the right insole would have to occur through the left insole, with the leftinsole being the master and the right insole being the slave. Master-slave relationships are used inBluetooth networks, commonly called piconets, to control how data is transmitted betweendevices. A master device can be connected to as many as seven slave devices, while a slave canonly connect to a single master device. The

Typically, the ideas are expected to have sprung from student projectsrelated to capstone courses, master thesis projects or student projects in general.Similar courses and programs exist at other universities, but some particularities can be notedhere. The course is currently focused on students within the two specializations (M.Sc.programs) of Mechatronics and Integrated product development, specializations which are opento students mainly from the programs (B.Sc.) of either Mechanical Engineering, IndustrialEngineering and Management or Vehicle Engineering.

The console subsystem is the subsystem operating on the commandstation that enables the user to interact with the system. It contains all the Simulink blocksrelated to acquiring and displaying data. In RT-LAB, OpComm blocks are used to enableand save communication setup information. All inputs to top-level subsystems must firstgo through an OpComm block before they can be used.
