disciplines. Many industries (i.e., automotive, aerospace, electronics, etc.)are complaining about the lack of preparation future engineers are receiving in colleges anduniversities. The industries pointed out that there exists a huge, yet common deficiency amongthe engineering students, asking that students should learn how to communicate effectively 10.This is aligned with the exponential growth of advanced, sophisticated technologies that resultedin an increasing demand for engineers 11, 12. The report prepared by the Society of ManufacturingEngineers (SME) listed 14 competency gaps that engineering graduates are lacking quality,product/process design 13. To address this concern, there is a need to develop and incorporate aninnovative education
