Engineering graduates are able to work in a variety of environments and quicklyextend their fundamental knowledge to the focus required by a new or rapidly changingenvironment. The following subjects are presented and discussed: the constituency that initiallyproposed establishing an Integrated Engineering degree program; the original curriculum; theshortcomings, growing pains, and maturing of that curriculum; and the programs current ideals.Introduction Engineers today impact society to a greater extent than ever before. We depend upon thesystems, machines and processes developed by engineers in virtually everything we do. Solvingproblems in our modern world mandates the use of technology that changes virtually as it isembraced. In this

In 2005, the development of ABET accreditation criteria clarified the need for a neweducation paradigm based on an integrated approach [9].

Environmental Design, places an emphasis on design integration, professional andindustry education, and market transformation – both in products and design techniques. Thequestion at hand is how to prepare construction and engineering students for what is quicklybecoming the norm for construction in the United States. Previous research has discussedintegration of curriculum and has found there are no existing standards in place. This study findsthat when sustainability is viewed more in the light of integrated high performance design anddelivery than course development it is more a function of integration than revision. Nocomparative outcome of success was measured. As sustainable construction continues toincrease its market share in the commercial

To teach engineering studentshow to design an experiment, preform a test, collect and analyze data, draw conclusions, etc. arecritical. Hands on laboratory experiences can be delivered in various ways. They are eitherintegrated into courses that contain both lectures and lab components or offered separately as labcourses.Traditionally, mechanical engineering programs offer 2 or 3 mechanical lab

Engineers not fortunate enough cover the topic in their university studies wererequired to learn on the job. While this is not always optimal, it at least offered the advantage ofbeing directly applicable and less abstract when applied to real situations. Increasingly though indepth options to learn the material became available in both the undergraduate and graduateschool curriculums.
