Our exist survey asked students to pick theirfavorite elective course, and emerging technologies ranked second overall, with a total of 17.3%of the votes (first place was Mobile Robot Design at 30%). Thus, slightly less than half of thestudents who took emerging technologies considered it the best of the five elective courses thatthey took. For a non-traditional course such as this to outshine all of the other electives in themajor is a strong testament to the impact of this different way of looking at technology and the

As the emphasis onengineering research science grew, the applied content was frequently moved to technologyinstitutes and programs. This did not diminish the relevance of the applied skills. The appliedtechnology skills were valued by industry as being important to the design success.It is important for technology administrators and educators to understand the negative impact ofengineering education’s inability to reconcile their roles and desires.

Fundamental technical content takes up the bulk of the typical undergraduate engineeringcurriculum, leaving little room for a course that would focus on both the hard and soft skills ofproject management. However, the importance of developing engineering students’ projectmanagement skills should not be discounted.
