Multidisciplinary Engineering

Engineering graduates are able to work in a variety of environments and quicklyextend their fundamental knowledge to the focus required by a new or rapidly changingenvironment. The following subjects are presented and discussed: the constituency that initiallyproposed establishing an Integrated Engineering degree program; the original curriculum; theshortcomings, growing pains, and maturing of that curriculum; and the programs current ideals.Introduction Engineers today impact society to a greater extent than ever before. We depend upon thesystems, machines and processes developed by engineers in virtually everything we do. Solvingproblems in our modern world mandates the use of technology that changes virtually as it isembraced. In this

The intent is to offer suggestions on howto revise the ECE curriculum to; 1) help future graduating ECE engineers work in aglobal environment, and 2) strengthen areas of ECE that are not likely to be outsourced,and to minimize focus of areas of the ECE discipline that are most likely to beoutsourced. These recommendations will in no way weaken the fundamental requirementfor understanding basic ECE principles, but are merely an attempt to structure the ECEcurriculum to be more resilient to outsourcing, so that ECE graduates in the United Stateshave expertise that are not easily outsourced and can compete in a global environment.Research of what’s being currently outsourced clearly identifies the need for USengineering

First, it is assumed thatarchitectural engineering education emphasizes an integration of both engineering andarchitectural design content, a position supported by review of many AE programs. Second, it isassumed that industry developments such as the GSA mandate will require all disciplinesinvolved in design and construction to utilize
