Indeed, in its 1955 Report on Evaluation of EngineeringEducation (known as the “Grinter Report”)1, a panel sponsored by the American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) stated: “Engineering is far from static, for it is essentially a creative profession.”This sentiment is echoed in the Summary Report of the 1995 Civil Engineering EducationConference2: “…civil engineering education should be continually evolving to higher levels of quality and at all times incorporating new technologies and practices into the civil engineering education process.”In keeping with these statements, the engineering profession has witnessed an acceleration of thebreadth, depth, and magnitude of change

, as it involves a cultural change from the silo approach to a holistic approach. TheABET-required senior capstone multidisciplinary design course too often becomes a design-build-test exercise with the emphasis on just getting something done. Students rarely break outof their disciplinary comfort zone and thus fail to experience true multidisciplinary-system,model-based design. What is needed are multidisciplinary systems courses, with a balancebetween theory and hardware, between academic rigor and the best practices of industry,presented in an integrated way in the 2nd and 3rd years that prepares students for truemultidisciplinary-system, model-based engineering at the senior level and beyond.Do technological universities and industry have

system architecture related tools and methods listed in Table 1 is notnew. In 1994, Shenhar [16] proposed a systems engineering education curriculum consisting of:basic studies (math, computer science, etc.), cross-disciplinary studies (hardware, software, etc.),engineering systems and technologies (introduction to a wide set of diverse systems),management studies (operations, project management, production, etc.) and system engineeringconcepts (architecture, holistic and system thinking, case studies, etc.). Similarly, Walther andRadcliff [17], in their study on competency gaps between academia and industry, surmised thatuniversity curricula should teach a more holistic view of engineering which will lead to “acentral competence which could be

evidence for needing and the calls for a new model of engineering education are extensive.These calls have come from a wide variety of sources, such as: The National Academies of Engineering (NAE) in The Engineer 2020 and Educating the Engineer of 2020 publications: "If the United States is to maintain its economic leadership and be able to sustain its share of high-technology jobs, it must prepare for this wave of change. Although there is no consensus at this stage, it is agreed that innovation is the key and engineering is essential to this task; but engineering will only contribute to success if it is able to continue to adapt to new trends and provide education to the next generation of students so as to arm them with the

It is loosely patterned after Engineers Without Borders from whomwe have learned a great deal.Many approaches to poverty issues are from a top-down perspective, usinggovernmental policies and spending to try to make changes. Engineering servicelearning can be part of a bottom-up approach, using technology and socialentrepreneurship as tools to make a difference in poor communities. With afocus on service, technology can be an instrument of peace, communitydevelopment, restoration of human dignity, and the alleviation of hunger andsuffering. This happens as these endeavors and their practitioners orient theircraft toward an end that has meaning as well as economic
