Liberal Learning Revisited: A Historical Examination of the Reasons, Frustrations, and Continued Prospects for Engineering and Liberal Arts IntegrationAbstractIn December of 1968, the American Society for Engineering Education issued a report, LiberalLearning for the Engineer, directed by Sterling P. Olmstead. However, the Olmstead Report wasjust one in a series of organized studies, carried out within the society‟s well honed investigativetradition, which sought to bring about greater integration between engineering and liberaleducation. One subsequent study was the 1975 O. Allan Gianniny Report—which blunted thecritiques found in the 1968 Olmstead Report—while earlier studies included

. This is the case when all team members are involved in the decision making process and participate in problem solving activities. Timely accomplishment of goals is greatly enhanced by having an agreed upon decision making process. Avoiding the “paralysis by analysis” problem is critical to the team‟s success. In some cases, decisions must be made by consensus. Once a decision has been reached, even through consensus, all team members must accept, own and support it. Appreciation and celebration for team‟s success is also important. Human beings want to be appreciated and valued for contributions. It is the leader‟s responsibility, in many cases, to ensure that this need is met. Working in a

All othercourses are defined as third level. The higher education level embraced a university sector(private) and a public sector funded primarily by Local Education Authorities (LEA‟s). It is withdevelopments in higher education in the public sector that this paper is concerned.At that time the education system in England and Wales was highly selective. A simplifiedmodel of the system is shown in exhibit 1. After primary school the student was directed to oneof three types of school. The majority of children went to secondary modern schools as therewere only a relatively small number

thisstudy [8]. These studies were examined and contributed to the student‟s overallassessment. Accompanying these developments in the Technical College Sector was therise of an Association for Liberal Education that had its own research officer [9].It will not have escaped the notice of the reader that no mention is made of universitystudents in technological studies receiving such treatment. Why should a person on adegree course be treated differently? The concept of liberal education has a long historythat can be traced back to the Greeks, and Davies provides an all too brief history of thedevelopment of liberal education from those times [8.ch 1]. From the Greeks and theRomans we get the notions of being free to learn, and as Davies notes

However, an interesting idea surfacedregarding the team status meetings with the instructor in which an interview Q&A style could beused to gather sufficient evidence.A pilot was conducted in spring 2010 involving the capstone for Electrical Engineering as wellas Computer Engineering majors. The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team
