The reportadopted a more systemic perspective that “developed the concept of an engineering communityconsisting not just of degreed engineers but of all those involved in engineering work, support ofengineering work, or engineering education, whether they be engineers, scientists, technologists,or technicians” (p. 35). Since “…objective definitions are essential as a basis for describing theengineering community and its constituent elements…” (p. 49) the committee examineddefinitions of engineering to better understand this community, and derived the followingdefinition

These general education courses are oftenconsidered by engineering students to be unrelated to their chosen profession and are thereforeseen merely as hoops to be jumped through on the way to graduation. However, these coursesmake up a significant percentage of students’ overall credit requirements, and represent a mostlyuntapped opportunity to meaningfully incorporate the global and societal context required byABET into an engineering degree program. By partnering with the humanities and social sciencefaculty who teach these distribution requirements, engineering programs have an opportunity toreclaim this portion of the university experience, making it a

probabilistic decision-making and management skills to effectively work in a multidisciplinary project team, and tocreate designs based on the requirements of this larger system.However, the typical engineering design curriculum does not include adequate discussion onprobabilistic decision support and project management techniques. In addition, literature doesnot contain sufficient resources that are relatable by engineers from different disciplines and theyalso do not include adequate and/or useful examples for engineers from diverse backgrounds.This study suggests that new multidisciplinary educational material is needed, covering variousstages of engineering design from a systems point of view. It starts with a summary ofengineering design issues in
