This series of courses addresses atleast three of these outcomes directly: • An understanding for professional and ethical responsibility • The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global societal context. • Knowledge of contemporary issues.An understanding for professional and ethical responsibility: This curriculum is designed toprovide engineering and technology students with a broad understanding of ways to apply theirdegrees. Not only will they set the application of their degree on a global scale, but they willalso be introduced to ways their degree

The prioritization of the design elements can beseen from their absolute and relative value shown in the QFD matrix. The design element absolute value is calculated by summing the products of theimportance value of each requirement and the correlation value at the intersection betweenthat requirement and that design element. For example, in the first QFD matrix, for thedesign element of “Institution-industry and institution-community relationships”, the absolutevalue was found by multiplying the importance value for the requirement of “Understandingof professional and ethical responsibility” (3) by the strong correlation value (5) to get 15.This value was
