Today, engineeringschools are mostly populated by engineering researchers who are less familiar, and lesscomfortable, with a curriculum that integrates theory and practice, and who have little if anyindustrial experience. The result is a focus on specialized disciplinary knowledge thatemphasizes the fundamentals of engineering, with little space for the development ofprofessional skills or a broader understanding of what it means to be an engineer and the role ofengineering in society.The current state of engineering education has led to numerous publications calling for reform.These include titles such as Educating the Engineer of 2020: Adapting Engineering Education tothe
