It has been generally accepted that the mid-evening timing for the lectures to be received at SUST reasonable due to the work ethic of the Chinese populace. 5. The growing impetus for engineering students in the US to be exposed to international influences may be pushing the ECU staff more so than the international participants. 6.

, with the hope that students will model the physics of the problem situation, identify economic and ethical constraints, and find ways to base decisions on quantitative analysis. These types of problems have helped students understand the nature of engineering problems and decisions. However, by themselves, they do not show students the process of transferring basic theory to engineering practice and incorporating it into the “making-of-meaning” required for addressing engineering design problems2, 3.In this paper, it is proposed to augment these problems by asking the students (and instructor) toengage in problem posing and problem structuring. The goal is to suggest methods in concordancewith

Introduction A quote by John Reinert, an engineering manager at Aeroflux Microelectronics inColorado Springs, CO states, “The soft skills are just as important the engineering skills.” Thisstatement has been proven to be true for companies of all sizes, particularly for small startups,which employ a large percentage of engineers who graduate from various schools. This isbecause at a small startup company that is trying to make in-roads into a new market, using thesesoft skills are extremely important. The technical skills are the defining skills and the soft skillsare the enabling skills. These soft skills include: Oral and written presentation skills, ethics,interpersonal skills, understanding globalization, how to function on teams as well

Abstract  This paper describes an innovative curriculum developed for a new LogisticsEngineering degree programs at the Faculty of Engineering Management of PoznańUniversity of Technology. The core of the program is based on a sequence of four majorcourses, which focus on the Product Development, Process Analysis and Optimization,Logistic Processes and Service Engineering, respectively. Each course is built around a practical team project. With the project effort as thebackground, the courses introduce students to key issues in global engineering competence,such as technical and cross-cultural communication, collaboration and teamwork,organization and management, engineering ethics, critical thinking and problem solving, andintegration

Similar definitions apply to otherdisciplines like law, arts, music, management, teacher education, or any other fields that havemade extensive use of cases for professional training.Teaching with cases often involves several challenges for the instructor. These includediagnosing technical problems and formulating solution strategies, making engineering andmanagement decisions taking into account technical, economic, and social and psychologicalconsiderations, and confronting ethical dilemmas7. The instructor needs to either have lots ofexperience or invite systems engineers in the industry to give seminars and present cases. Theinstructor can then have students

The entrepreneurship portionfocuses on the definition of entrepreneurship, the characteristics and competencies ofentrepreneurs, and examples of local entrepreneurs.
