For a small class size, theteacher may simply use an exercise to engage students in discussion and hands-on practice. Forlarger classes, the students can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as aninstrument leading to group projects. Woods and Howard [12] effectively used class exercisesfor Information Technology students to study ethical issues.

In our course, each team isactively engaged in the design process throughout the yearlong course, which culminates in

Similar reports from professional bodies conveyed that graduates are also expected tobe dynamic, agile, resilient, flexible, and to work with a strong sense of professionalism [1] - [4].So, while none of the programs had an a priori commitment to engineering leadership, they alldeveloped curricula that were at least in part a response to globalization, the increasingcomplexity of engineering
