skills sets that contribute the growing field known as Public InterestTechnology (PIT). PIT describes a new brand of civic-minded engineering graduates who can apply high-end technology skills along with public policy to better serve the interests of the for the overall good ofsociety. Moreover, as a consortium of 21 universities and funded by the Ford Foundation and NewAmerica, the PIT University Network (PIT-UN) is committed shaping educational course a curriculum tobetter integrate technology, public policy, and social sciences.In this paper, we described the creation, implementation and first-pass assessment of mini modules designto teach Project management as the added value skill set and to indoctrinate the students to Public Sectorover a

successful designs, discover biomimetic projects that are currentlyunderway, and experiment with biomimetic strategies to better solve the problems by achievingthe benefits without the issues. This curriculum helps change the mindset and foster creativity inthe next generation of engineers who will be tasked with solving the problems of the future. Thispaper will explain the course in greater detail, and how its approach differs from conventionalengineering education. It will provide perspectives from students of different disciplines who havetaken the course, co-instructed in the course, and are currently applying their changed mindset totheir research and jobs.IntroductionTeaching the next generation of engineering students to solve problems

system architecture related tools and methods listed in Table 1 is notnew. In 1994, Shenhar [16] proposed a systems engineering education curriculum consisting of:basic studies (math, computer science, etc.), cross-disciplinary studies (hardware, software, etc.),engineering systems and technologies (introduction to a wide set of diverse systems),management studies (operations, project management, production, etc.) and system engineeringconcepts (architecture, holistic and system thinking, case studies, etc.). Similarly, Walther andRadcliff [17], in their study on competency gaps between academia and industry, surmised thatuniversity curricula should teach a more holistic view of engineering which will lead to “acentral competence which could be

is taught in a senior design class for upperclassmenand new graduate students. In order to encourage critical analysis of design standards, especiallyhuman-related factors, a new design project was implemented that incorporates Autonomous Vehi-cles (AVs). Working in multi-disciplinary teams, students were required to develop new geometricdesign standards for fully autonomous AVs together with human cyclists on a principal arterial inPuerto Rico. The class was given an introductory lecture on AVs, after which they were requiredto review the literature, modify existing standards, and implement the findings into their roadwaydesigns. The teams evaluated the human-related aspects of design by re-considering multiple ge-ometric design parameters

, including civilengineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, are accredited by ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC). The computer science and engineering programsare accredited by the ABET Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) and the ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC). Based on the ABET accreditation procedure,academic programs must submit a self-study report detailing the strengths of the programs andprovide evidence of adherence to the ABET standards every six years. Usually, an onsite visit isconducted for the program after the self-study report is submitted and approved by ABET.However, the global pandemic has affected the normal procedure of onsite accreditation visits[3,4]. Due to the COVID-19, the
