engineers embrace “creativity, invention, and crossdisciplinary fertilization.” In aworld of rapidly developing technology, communication, flexibility, and motivation for lifelonglearning are essential attributes for success in creative problem solving. The current “studentoutcomes” criterion for the accreditation of engineering programs by ABET includes similarvalues, such as collaborative teamwork and the problem-based context for learning engineering[3]. More recent reporting from the National Academies provides design strategies for research-based instruction: learning is built from prior knowledge, peer interaction and collaborationfacilitate the construction and retention of this knowledge, and discipline-relevant problemsolving promotes both
