These benchmarks forsuccess include: “an ability to learn how to learn, an ability to form learning communities,and an ability to collaborate in distributed corporate settings, across countries, continents andcultures”[3].Universities attempt to capture the demand for the new skillset by revising and extending theexistent intended learning outcomes (ILOs) to include references to the meta-competencies.Biggs and Tang[5] note that the most effective ILOs will challenge students to go further than‘solve’ or ‘explain’, asking instead to ‘apply to professional practice’, ‘hypothesise’,‘reflect’, even ‘relate to principles’, in short to demonstrate the so-called higher-orderthinking skills

While participating in this project, I had the opportunity to practice and integrate much of the knowledge I learned during my three years of course work as an undergraduate student. Working in the renewable energy lab in a team of two with an expert professor, enhanced my communication abilities; team working skills; and added a valuable experience that I could not obtain during my usual course work. Throughout the time I spent working on this project, I had the chance to express my ideas and think critically and independently in solving related problems

several issues with employing the university hiring graph. First, a very smallpercentage of graduates actually get hired by universities and hence this is a small sample of thetotal population. Second, a university professor’s tenure system biases the hiring graph towards a“survival bias”. Given that tenure decision is made within 5-7 years and a typical professor’scareer may span 30 years, most of the information in the hiring graph tends to reflect professorswho get through the tenure process.Third, the longevity of a typical professor’s career makes a hiring decision that reflects on thatprogram for a long period of time. Our analysis reflects this as explained later. Fourth, mostdepartments tend to be small with a faculty size between 20 and

Engineering as Lifestyle and a Meritocracy of Difficulty: Two pervasive beliefs among engineering students and their possible effectsIn this paper we discuss a series of narratives collected from ethnographic interviews withengineering students concerning questions about what they wish to be an engineer. Our paperreports on two related beliefs that we have found among engineering undergraduates, mostcommonly in their first two years of four-year programs. These are: engineering as a lifestyleand a meritocracy of difficulty. Engineering as a lifestyle refers to the anticipated comfortablelife that students expect from their careers as engineers. In terms of a meritocracy of difficultywe are referring to how

Following Koehn, good engineering practice as exhib-ited in for example infrastructure is judged against the best state-of-the-art at the time of designand construction—Kohen’s “sota.” When we review infrastructure from another time, it is fair toask if it met or exceeded the sota of the time.
