courses.Conceptual Framework The technology literacy curriculum needs to be firmly founded in the context ofthe student. Every student is alive, and has an interest in sustaining life. This notion iseloquently stated in John Dewey's famous pedagogical declaration. It was published inThe School Journal, Volume LIV, Number 3 (January 16, 1897), pages 77-80. He states: I believe that all education proceeds by the participation of the individual in the social consciousness of the race. This process begins unconsciously almost at birth, and is continually shaping the individual's powers, saturating his consciousness, forming his habits, training his ideas, and arousing his feelings and emotions. Through this

In their book “Creative ProblemSolving” Edward and Monika Lumsdaine11 present many stimulating contrasts between ourinformation-based edu-system and creative learning. Education is a system that defines what andhow-much one should learn and from what sources; teaching focused, not learning focused. In aparallel sense, one historical perspective delving into the dichotomy of the engineeringpractitioner as contrasted with the educators‟ predilections that teach engineering was offered in1993 by Hazen and Ladesic.12 They tracked the changes of the aero-engineering curriculum fromthe 1920‟s forward to 1995

engineers are responsible. Educating engineers for their career responsibilities hasalways been a priority of teaching institutions, but ethics education in engineering has not alwaysbeen a significant part of the curriculum. The importance of ethics training for students in otherfields such as medicine and psychology is more prevalent than that in the field of science andengineering. While the need for making ethical decisions for professionals in medicine andpsychology is apparent, it may not be so for engineers. Engineers make countless decisions thataffect the welfare of their corporations, their communities, and their professions. For instance, achemical engineer may have to choose between safety of those living near a plant and cost

Thus, the mechanical engineer musthave knowledge of both experimental procedures and numerical analysis methods. It is at this pointwhere the well rounded engineer comes is beneficial to the company.Creating a mechanical engineer who is capable of satisfying many roles is left to the mechanicalengineering curriculum. We, as educators, must provide a mechanical engineering curriculum which isdiverse and yet integrates the key knowledge bases in the traditional ME concentrations. It is important tohave courses which integrate this basic knowledge into a design

This inflexibility alsooften acts as a deterrent in the development of new, cutting-edge engineering programs.Prior to EC2000, accreditation standards were focused on extensive quantitative requirements.Engineering programs were required to have a certain number of hours in several topics in orderto obtain accreditation.

During project development, the eight categories of competenceare checked against anticipated steps in the project to assess the structure of the project and todirect modifications that will more fully achieve desired design education outcomes.

This approach provides a basis for outcomes-based design education, even whenstudents transfer from one program or institution to another.KEYWORDSEngineering design education, learning outcomes, curriculum design, collaborative
