curiosity anddesire for continuous learning and an appreciation of globalization, ethical responsibility anddiversity.The challenge that many educators have faced is how to teach students many of the professionalskills. The traditional classroom setting may not easily lend itself to effective training ofoutcomes such as life-long learning, ethical and professional responsibility, or understanding theglobal context of engineering solutions. Therefore, it becomes necessary to look beyond theclassroom for the means to adequately prepare future graduates. Students develop theirknowledge and skill over time, and it is the cumulative result of the curricular path they follow(i.e. the courses they take), the pedagogies employed by their instructors, and

31% to a B+ (89%). In the mid-semester evaluations for the Spring 2014course, 98% of students noted that working in a group has contributed to their understanding ofthe course material. Engineers in the workforce are constantly working with others on variousprojects. Another student explains that working in a group motivates students to stay on top oftheir work load as well as encourages them to produce higher quality work. This student states,“Working in a group allows me to work harder to guarantee that I do not let my partners down.”This accountability not only improves the students’ work ethic but also improves the way theyinteract with their peers. By exposing teamwork early in student engineering development theygain a sense of

Today’sengineer must possess more than just what has been traditionally considered technical skills andmust do more than just problem solving. He/she must be able to use creative thinking andinnovative design principles, while grasping importance of changing technologies. Moreover,working within multidisciplinary teams of other industry professionals and communicatingeffectively across all disciplines is of paramount importance 2.Involvement and, for some, leadership roles in “real world” projects that “balance technicalsolutions with social, cultural, environmental, economic, and sustainability concerns, in
