Engineering education has largely been developed byeducators rather than practitioners, but collaboration between the two segments is essential ifengineering curricula are going to impart a thorough understanding of what is required for anengineer to best serve society today. The consistent lack of emphasis on professionalism, ethics,and leadership—even within doctoral programs—has hampered engineers in their service tosociety.In Educating the Engineer of 2020: Adapting Engineering Education to the New Century, theNational Academy of Engineering recommends that the four-year engineering bachelor’sprogram be considered merely a pre-engineering or engineer-in-training degree and that amaster’s degree be considered the

Furthermore, as recommendations and guidelines are developed foreducational settings as a result of this study, their use will enhance engineering faculty’s abilityto prepare students to function on partially-distributed teams when the students graduate and goout into the work force.Research ApproachTo achieve the

Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S.

Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors.
