A second experiment is also conducted with graduate students from The University ofTexas (UT) at Austin to further analyze the effectiveness of the tool on quantity and quality ofthe concepts generated. These experiments aim to demonstrate that state-of-technology designtools provide an effective foundation and platform for designers to generate a larger quantity ofconcepts, with higher quality and novelty. There exist significant implications on engineeringdesign education from this process. For example, the systematic mapping of the state-of-the-artin a field is an

department is allowed to present its own versions of the freshman course to the students intheir major. The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) program in the Department ofEngineering Technology at WKU has developed a freshman seminar course that meets theuniversity requirements and also introduces the freshman to electrical engineering. This courseexamines the different aspects of electrical engineering and develops the problem-solving skillsof the students. During the semester, the students study the history of engineering, theresponsibilities of engineering, professional registration, and engineering ethics. Students alsodevelop a foundation for problem-solving skills through various assignments. An importantaspect of this course is the

Capacity Building in Developing CountriesAbstractIn the pursuit of a more secure, stable and sustainable world, developing countries seek toenhance their human, institutional and infrastructure capacity. To do so they need a solidbase of technologically prepared people to effectively improve their economies andquality of life. Such a base will facilitate the infusion of foreign capital through attractionof multinational companies to invest in the developing country, assist in making the mostof foreign aid funds, and provide a basis for business development by local entrepreneurs.The World Federation of Engineering Organizations is mounting major efforts attechnical capacity building in developing countries.IntroductionAn old Chinese proverb says

But the answer is also no since, despite orsometimes even because of the foregoing technical accomplishments, millions of people today areliving in poverty and the degradation of the environment remains largely unabated. Thus, at thedawn of the 21st century, the engineering professions face up to the burden and the challenges oftheir significant and unfinished work.A New Global Ethic for Engineers: The Need During the last century, the Code of
