In other words, leading is inherent to success as an engineer.

Some of the key challenges are cited below: (1) developing a completely integrated curriculum is one of the holy grails of engineering education since real-world problems are not conveniently segregated by topic; however, effective integration is limited by the difficulty of coordinating the concepts across different personnel and courses; (2) while the new curriculum was designed
