The three pillars of sustainable development are social development,economic development and environmental restoration. A major challenge to this integration isadding to the workload of the existing curriculum. In some cases, introducing the new conceptsrequires the loss of essential course material. Consequently, many civil engineering departmentshave successfully integrated sustainable design principles through course modules, and projectbased learning3. A recent study by Litchfield and Javernick-Will compared the career interestsand experiences of students and practicing engineers who

We can expect that more focused tools will be developed and availablewithin a timeframe of a few months to years.Strategically these AI services will become an important part of an engineer’s toolbox. However,they will change the way we approach our daily work and the education required to get there.There are obvious concerns about academic integrity with this tool. In the

In addition to expediting productdevelopment, the AM framework facilitates the development of innovative products of highervalue, which can offer a competitive advantage over standard low-cost products. One of the leadadaptors of AM for end parts is the aerospace industry due to the high added value of AM-enabledinnovative parts. A prominent example of the adoption of AM for critical flight parts is the leapengine fuel nozzle developed by General Electric [4]. The original nozzle consisting of 19 partswas redesigned with more intricate fuel channels leading to improved ignition efficiency of 25

The systems integration issue has compounded anexisting problem for the manufacturing sector as companies already struggle with workforcerecruitment. Although the manufacturing sector has continued to experience significant declinesin workforce; from about 30% in 1960 to about 10% in recent years due to an increased relianceon technology [11-12], identifying and recruiting talents to use and manage these technologies hasremained a challenge. To address this problem, the support and involvement of educators, especially in theengineering and technology fields, will be imperative. Unfortunately

In addition, this course allows students to see how toimplement physically some of the designs or design techniques they have learned in priorsegments. The ability to design digital integrated circuits or to at least be able to analyze designsis becoming a necessity for many electrical and computer engineering students entering the workforce or pursuing an advanced degree.

applicationswhere an ecological approach to engineering design can augment the efforts of otherprofessionals to solve complicated and pressing problems.An ecological engineering curriculum should provide solid education in ecology, engineeringfundamentals and design. Perhaps the greatest contribution to engineering that the curriculumcan make is a new methodology for design, informed by ecology. We have sketched out some ofthe basic ecological principles that will need to be integrated into design methods. How this willhappen and how some of the apparent conflicts with traditional practices will be resolved isunknown, and will likely be an evolutionary process.A curriculum must also tackle other large issues, not explored here, of uncertainty in design
