Education, 2007 The Current Generation of Integrated Engineering Curriculum - Assessment After Two Years of ImplementationAbstractIn September of 2004 our university adopted the Multidisciplinary Engineering FoundationSpiral Curriculum as the basis for disciplinary engineering programs in Chemical, Civil,Electrical, Mechanical and General Engineering. The curriculum includes a sequence of firstand second year engineering courses, matched closely with the development of students’mathematical sophistication and analytical capabilities and integrated with course work in thesciences. Students develop a conceptual understanding of engineering basics in this series ofcourses which stress practical applications of these principles.The

Engineering education endeavors to match the best students with thebest learning techniques, and must also be creative in adapting and adopting new pedagogicalmethods.Other disciplines can be one of the best resources for engineering educators looking for newteaching techniques to fit the unique demands on today’s engineers. Because they are alsotechnical fields, the sciences can be a fitting source. Like engineers, scientists are required toknow not only their material, but current trends in research, methods, and publication. One waythat some of the sciences prepare

The students are also encouraged to do researchas an undergraduate which can sometimes lead to a graduate thesis topic. Hearing industryengineers with graduate degrees dispels the myth that a PhD in Engineering is only good forsomeone in academia.The methods described in this paper were used to generate a 40% rate for non-transferengineering and computer science

These interest scales are composed mostlyof simple items such as “I like doing research,” but also items about interesting “engineeringwork” and “research topic” (Table 2). Clearly, graduate students should be engaged incoursework, projects and research that interests them. The mean of engineering interest isparticularly high (4.27, Table 3), which is to be expected among a group that has completedundergraduate degrees and made the decision to pursue additional engineering education.

This is the period duringwhich new employees encounter and learn the specific expectations and requirements of the joband are arguably the most aware of any differences between their engineering education andengineering practice. This is also the time when new engineers become socialized into thepractice of engineering in organizational settings.
