These flowcharts can be applied to eachconcept.There are three independent flowcharts. The scaling flowchart encourages scaling only if it willsimplify the problem, a scaling law is known or can be estimated, and sufficient accuracy existsto predict the design requirements. This approach works well when there is an uncertainty in theextrapolation that can be predicted[37]. If there is a higher uncertainty in the scaling extrapolation,then the directive is to not use scaled prototypes, or to scale them only to a reduced extent.The second flowchart, subsystem isolation/integration, examines whether the designer should

discipline-focused initiativesfall short in terms of providing a more holistic experience of Engineering as a unified discipline.The main reason for this is that the inherent complexity involved in integrating multipledisciplines into a project over a relatively short period of time is a major challenge. Socolloquially speaking, oftentimes students don’t get to see the forest for the tree. As a resultmany students lose their curiosity to learn more about the engineering profession and decide tochoose a different career path.To address these concerns, an innovative teaching model based on a structured curriculum isproposed to not only introduce students to multiple engineering disciplines but also allow themto be part of a unified engineering

In the initial engineering curriculum, Precalculus was included1. At theadvice of an outside reviewer familiar with ABET standards, the curriculum was modified duringthe fall 2006 semester.

engineering curriculum.The solid modeling courses provide a unique opportunity to work with many of the corecomponents of the engineering design process much earlier in the curriculum. For instance, thedevelopment of a solid model of a complex part requires identifying criteria (such as necessarydimensions), brainstorming, generating ideas, developing a plan to produce the solid model in anefficient manner, and actually constructing the solid model. Additionally, there can be someiterations in the plan as the designer attempts to develop a creation path and runs into an obstacleand has to revise the plan.Unlike full-scale engineering design, Mathematics and Physics are not obstacles in the designprocess involved with the creation of 3D solid models

NCEES’s FE exam specifications might be the onlydocument from a national engineering organization that approaches a standard for technicalengineering curriculum content but these specifications are not a credible source on whatengineers have to know. Looking at the leanness of the ABET program criteria for ME, ASME’snon-participation in the NSPE BOK, and ASME’s statements in Vision 2030, one couldcharacterize ASME’s stance as being that almost no particular technical content matters verymuch but that it is essential for engineers to be able to solve problems and
