It is the application of emotional intelligence to the professional arena that hassparked the interest of educators and industry, for, as Robert Cooper and Ayman Sawaf, authorsof Executive EQ: Emotional Intelligence in Leadership and Organizations, argue, “Today’s fast-changing, more open and fluid style of work puts a premium on the combination of intellect andEQ [emotional quotient], especially when it comes to trusting and teaming with others to solveproblems and seize opportunities.”6 Cooper cites a study of “star performers” at Bell Labs inwhich engineers and scientists who were ranked near the

In order that the profession can function in anincreasingly multiracial and multicultural workplace engineering schools must attract all racesand both genders. These future engineers will need an appreciation of society’s environmentalconcerns, a commitment to the solution of environmental problems and the interpersonal skills towork effectively in groups towards their solution. It would therefore be of serious concern ifengineering schools were unable to attract

Functional requirementsrelate to the actions that the product must carry out in order to satisfy the fundamental reasons ofits existence. Non-functional requirements are the desirable properties/qualities that the productmust have [4] [7]. These are the characteristics that make the product fast, usable, portable,reliable, attractive, etc.Requirements Engineering (RE) is the process of determining, analyzing, documenting,validating and maintaining the services and constraints (i.e. the functional and non-functionalrequirements) of the systems that need to be designed for the client.

The competition was excellentbecause the designs were creative, the participants enthusiastic, and there was always a clear winner. However,the program could not pass the scrutiny of those preparing for the first ABET visit in 1984. As the Mechanical Engineering program developed to reflect ABET guidance, a capstone design courseof considerable analytic dif%culty and breadth was needed. The immediate solution was to use the Army toprovide design topics that stimulate the students and had the requisite rigor.
