Especially, if a key intent is to increase thedegree entrepreneurial-mindedness of its graduates and promote innovation? We believe theanswer is to truly integrate the core professional competencies cultivated by general educationinto the engineering curriculum and to have general education courses more specifically connectto issues that engineers need to be more aware of in a career climate of extensive globalization.General education is an essential educational component to be embraced as being on par inimportance in an engineering curriculum with technical topics
