. Capstone design courses, integrationof communication across the engineering curriculum, the consideration of social, economic, andenvironmental issues in the solution of engineering problems, the use of assessment to measurethe impact of pedagogy on student learning: these are all evidence of change in engineeringeducation. As such, they are hallmarks of what Froyd, Wankat, and Smith have identified as fivemajor shifts in engineering education over the past 100 years, which include “a shift tooutcomes-based education and accreditation” and “a shift to applying education, learning, andsocial-behavorial sciences research.”1Now that the ABET Engineering Criteria have been in place since the mid-1990s, we may expectfurther shifts, specifically in the
