, as it involves a cultural change from the silo approach to a holistic approach. TheABET-required senior capstone multidisciplinary design course too often becomes a design-build-test exercise with the emphasis on just getting something done. Students rarely break outof their disciplinary comfort zone and thus fail to experience true multidisciplinary-system,model-based design. What is needed are multidisciplinary systems courses, with a balancebetween theory and hardware, between academic rigor and the best practices of industry,presented in an integrated way in the 2nd and 3rd years that prepares students for truemultidisciplinary-system, model-based engineering at the senior level and beyond.Do technological universities and industry have

They emphasize that social responsibility must be a guiding and transformativeexperience in the education of engineers. Social responsibility refers to an activity or actionwithin science and technology that is socially responsible if it satisfies certain ethical principles,and socially irresponsible if it does not satisfy those principles [10].” In a sense, socialresponsibility goes beyond the ethical obligation engineers have to society and the environmentby including agency towards

However, others are of a moralor ethical sort without an apparent answer and academic training may not have adequatelyprepared new engineers for their solution. Little of the undergraduate engineering experience isdevoted to the potential moral, social, political, and economic issues they may encounter.Instead, they focus on the mathematics, physics, and engineering aspects of problem solving.Thus leaving a void in their preparation that should be addressed.The organization responsible for accrediting American undergraduate Engineering andEngineering Technology
