Among her comments was theobservation that breakthroughs in technology today are driven by the convergence of multiplefields, thus requiring that engineers develop a multidisciplinary perspective. The engineeringeducation community is challenged to increase breadth without sacrificing disciplinary depth.Dr. Jackson asked whether the time has come to seriously consider designating the master’s

. They do mention that a unit on the confluence ofscience and spirituality is particularly significant for students, since we seem to beaccelerating into an ever more technological age. Classroom discussions aroundquestions such as: “How do we make meaning of transcendent spirituality in atechnological age?” and “How do individuals reconcile traditional systems of belief withan increasingly complex and comprehensive knowledge of science?” are suggested.12Fortunately, much has been written in an effort to bring understanding, evenreconciliation, to the fields of science/engineering and spirituality. As an example, I havefound some success using Guy Consolmagno’s book entitled God’s Mechanics: HowScientists and Engineers Make Sense of Religion.13
