Engineering technology programs, in contrast to engineering programs, focus onapplication and implementation while the latter often focus on theory and conceptual design1.The two different types of programs have been compared by the industry and academia in recentyears. Engineering graduates hired by the industry are not ready to start working from day onewithout additional training – and often many months of it. According to Groose2, that’s becausemost graduates come from research-based schools that emphasize the engineering sciences andtheory over the teaching of practical applications of that knowledge. On the other, engineeringtechnology graduates may lack of fundamental knowledge that may be needed to

future coursework.2. Rationale for the CourseA simple problem statement for the course we are developing is to teach mathematical problemsolving in a way that leads to transfer of knowledge and skills to future coursework. We focusedon the solution of difficult, but well defined problems because this is a major deficiency in thestudents we see. We also included the formulation of real-world problems, which usually are notwell defined, contain both incomplete and unnecessary data, and lack a clearly defined objective.Engineers need a solid foundation in solving well defined problems in order to solve these realworld problems.

independentof time. The result is either right or wrong. This is not the case with solutions to projects.A project, however, deals with the future stated or explored. Projecting is to “throw some-thing forward” (Project from Latin, Pro- (forward) + iare (throw)) [10]. The demands to aproject solution always include requirements from the future in which the solution shall becarried out by manufacturing or implementing processes. The demands include requirementsalso from that future in which the solution is expected to be useful. The projects themselvesinclude the future again also even if the whole work is made in the laboratory of the univer-sity.However, about the future nobody knows except by forecasts, by hypotheses, in the form oftheories
