RED proposal submitted to NSF laid out a vision for the ECEdegree program: The underlying vision of this project is simple. Engineering is and will remain a technical discipline defined by addressing meaningful problems. However, in the century since the Mann Report first outlined the state of engineering education, the nature of what constitutes meaningful problems has fundamentally changed. Engineering at the start of the 20th Century sought to marry science and industry for production, and as the means of production changed so did engineering education, serving as a technological means to an economic end. Engineers have succeeded dramatically in fulfilling this vision. Products today are churned out at high rates and are much
