Liberal Education/Engineering & Society

this paper wedescribe the design of the new general engineering curriculum at the University of San Diego.The argument for an engineering curriculum with a broad foundation that includes the liberal artsis not novel. Just after the creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1955, theEngineers’ Council for Professional Development commissioned a study to investigate howengineering education could keep pace with rapid developments in science and technology. Theresult of this study was the influential Grinter report​1​, among whose recommendations includedan emphasis on the importance of integrating liberal arts into engineering education. While thereport argued for balance between the technical and liberal arts, few current

receptacles. Confined to an office, someonepours the available material resources onto a table. As time passes, disaster seems to beinevitable, when the engineers emerge victorious. Amazingly, they have crafted a solution from,among other things, duct tape, plastic bags, and pieces of the flight plan document. This isengineering at its unambiguous best. When needs, goals, time constraints, and availableresources are unambiguous, engineers can solve problems.Rarely, however, are the scope and boundary of an engineer's work so well defined. In theUnited States, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) describesengineering as devising components, systems and processes to meet needs. This is the process

One of the major outcomes ofthat work is a conceptual framework for assisting faculty in transitioning from moretraditional instructional modes to more collaborative modes of instruction. Drawingheavily on a typical engineering process, this framework maps concepts readilyunderstood in the engineering design world to the development of instructionalexperiences.
