The problemsengineers encounter in the work force are ill-structured with constraints that extend beyond thereach of typical undergraduate engineering curricula, such as economic, social, political,environmental, and legal issues 1. To compound this problem, global economic competition,growing environmental concerns, and rapid technological advancement place additional demandson engineers to be more innovative in the solutions they create. There have been several reportsreleased in the last decade that call for engineers to become more skilled in communications,business, and economics, more creative and innovative, and more globally competent e.g. 2,3-6.Engineers must develop superior information literacy competencies, such
