Recent technological advancements in the engineeringfield have created an environment for educators to reconsider the ways they should beeducating future engineers. Educational reform efforts have been spurred by concerns aboutcompetitiveness and the insufficient number of graduating engineers to fill vacant positions inthe job market.
