Engineering EducationIntr oductionAt the 2003 Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education Dr. ShirleyAnn Jackson, President of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, delivered the main plenary speech.Dr. Jackson outlined the themes which must be addressed by the engineering educationcommunity to prepare our graduates for today’s challenges. 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

Thesefindings underscore the necessity for a standardized curriculum that integratestransdisciplinarity into engineering education.ChallengesThe first challenge is the disciplinary barrier. When we searched for literature, we identifiedmultiple transdisciplinary studies in other disciplines. For example, Block et al.

GOULTER, DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, R3T 2N2. 39INTRODUCTION The tremendous advancement in computer technology overthe last decade has had a d~rect impact on all fields ofengineering. These advancements have affected not only themanner in which problems are solved but also what problems cannow be solved. These changes, however, have not affected allengineering disciplines to the same degree or in the same way.Of all the engineering fields, Civil Engineering has perhapsbeen the least affected. There have, nevertheless, beensignificant developments in the use of computers

U.S. GDP is attributable to advancements in science and technology. This despite the fact that less than 5 percent of the U.S. workforce is composed of scientists and engineers, thereby suggesting that each one percent of the workforce engaged in those professions accounts for something like 15 percent of the growth in GDP. A truly remarkable multiplier.” - Norm Augustine (Augustine, 2013)In Spring 2015 a workshop was held at the National Academy of Engineering designed to buildcapacity for the engineering education research community to better communicate with a broadspectrum of policy makers.
