What value is the program if it is inno way unique compared to a research degree?The original vision for the program was wrapped around traditional, and in many waysout-dated, understandings of engineering design. The Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology s (ABET) definition of engineering design figures prominently as anormalized definition commonly understood by engineering schools.
