"newCarnegie report...reinforces those warnings." The report indicates "that a widespread emphasison theory over practice...discourages many potential students while leaving graduates with toolittle exposure to real-world problems and ethical dilemmas." While "millions of dollars" havebeen offered "through a coalition of universities to try to break up old styles of teaching," manyschools "still couldn't overcome the 'cultural issue of change' among faculty members." Therehave been some successes, however. Georgia Tech's biomedical engineering program uses a"problem-based approach" that "helps attract and teach many types of engineering students,especially women, who have been traditionally reluctant to consider engineering."Students too are voicing

At sophomore, junior, and senior levels, courses were selected forcritical thinking, and professional ethics emphasizes. The students were encouraged to use criticalthinking skills to analyze requirements and constraints which would apply for advanced real-worldproblems. Significant improvement in critical thinking skills of students have been achievedthrough this sequence. An integrated thinking approach is adopted by Katz [3] to bridge the educational gapbetween analytical and design thinking for mechanical engineering students. The suggestedapproach is implemented by reforming science engineering courses by stressing the
