Redesigning ‘Foundations of Engineering’ Course As evident from the literature review teaching should combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, while understanding its social, cultural, and ethical implications on learning. This philosophy involves going beyond classroom-type, lecture- based education, and emphasize practical skills in real world projects. In general, first year engineering students are fascinated by how industrial products are made and are curios regarding novel methods for making products. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and the need for integration of technologies from several

By embedding elements ofcareer development and professionalism into the engineering curriculum, students are exposedfrom freshmen year on to the key professional skills that employers seek from graduates asmodelled by the industry professionals themselves, including: critical thinking/problem solving;oral/written communication; teamwork/collaboration; information/technology application;leadership; professionalism/work ethic; career management [8]. With more than 70% of openpositions being secured through networking [9], it is important to introduce students to this skillas early as possible in their college career, and to ensure that
