ideas that are helpful whenthinking about how to redesign the college.IntroductionImpending changes are presenting engineering schools across the country and around the globewith new challenges. Our task force at the UW-Madison COE has been engaged in efforts toassist the college in meeting these challenges. Some of these challenges are specific to the UW-Madison College of Engineering. Many of them, however, are universal. Our hope is that indiscussing the path(s) that we are following, we can broaden the conversation beyond a singlecampus. We do not want to mislead anyone: we do not claim to have the answers, and wecertainly have many unanswered questions, however, we believe that a national dialogue isrequired if engineering education is to

education a discipline? In this respectthe nineteen sixties debate between Phenix (an American) and Hirst (an Englishman) are ofparticular interest.40 One thing they are both agreed about is the importance of concepts and itis for this reason that key concept maps are important in determining the curriculum providedthey take into account what engineers do.41Thus, what we think about knowledge and knowing clearly influences the aims of educationwe have and in turn the curriculum, the mode(s) of instruction, and assessment. We have to beclear about what we mean when we talk about knowledge and knowing.In another analysis of important terms Wringe insists that aims are not objectives even thoughthe terms may be more or less synonymous.42 There has

, he does without rather than make amistake.It is hard to accept seemingly pointless learning, especially in a field that values linearaccrual of knowledge. But as Jobs says, you can’t connect the dots looking forward.Informal, self-directed learning may lead nowhere—or, it may lead to true innovation, asin the design of the Macintosh. If innovation is what we want from a “thinking society,”rather than mere competence, then the challenge for engineering education is to fosterstudents’ ability to engage in lifelong learning in the absence of an immediate payoff interms of grades, certification, or other resume-enhancing qualification.

Two weeks of in-class time is devoted to eachmodule. Students are arranged in teams of three or four per group with the group assignmentsalternating between self-selected, random or purposefully chosen. The first period of each two-week block is used to introduce the topic, discuss any new analytical or numerical techniquesthat are relevant and, lastly, talk briefly about the broader societal issue(s) that each modulebrings forth. The remaining two class periods then are used by the students to work on finishingthe module. It should be pointed out that though students are put into
