An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics 2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors 3.

Ethnography strives to extract truths based onholistic, sensitive, and richly detailed subjective appraisals of small populations. Ethnography isan active form of research that requires the researcher to respond to variables like the changingmood of the respondent, non-verbal behavioral cues, and sensitivity to ethical constraints. All thewhile, the ethnographer must be aware of their influence on respondents’ behavior and how itmight skew results.

Future generations will benefit from those who make moreenvironmentally-conscious choices on how they leave their footprints on Earth. One way tobe more environmentally conscious is to build sustainably, whether through ethically sourcedminerals, recycled plastics, reusing items that would otherwise be deemed single-use, or evenusing industrial waste products to build a structure. While sustainable development's primarygoal is to rationalize the use of natural resources, utilizing other materials that are consideredwaste is also living sustainably. Through this

It isagreed that such attribute can only be developed by exposing students to the experience of open-ended problem solving which includes linking engineering science knowledge to complex, real-life design problems. Apart from the engineering and technical issues, these problem solvingactivities should include extra- and trans-disciplinary and soft factors, such as economic,environmental, sustainability, manufacturability ethical, health and safety, social and politicalconsiderations. It is well-accepted that such problem-based learning type is only achieved byusing quite complex project scenarios, and therefore requires careful planning and integrationinto the rest of the curriculum in

Although most students at this institutionparticipate in experiential learning, the framework aims to provide students with richer, moremeaningful experiences through intentional engagement and reflection. Through several informalconversations, both students and employers have expressed the need for students to reflect andbe able to better communicate the value of their experiences in relation to their technical skillsand career aspirations.
