materials in a timely manner, fabricating parts, strengtheningteamwork and communication skills, managing funding/schedules and developing rocketscapable of stable flight. Once a school achieves success at the Tsiolkovsky step, it moves to theOberth step. At this step, the curriculum focuses on incorporating all the knowledge andexperience from the first year, while students work toward achieving a greater understanding ofmass fractions and aerodynamic loads. Students also develop skills needed to design andconstruct the rocket vehicle. The curriculum at the Goddard step focuses on understanding whatis needed to develop high altitude flight time as well as reflecting on the entire process and thelearning it took to get there.

In a final report of a three-year study of the New Zealand Curriculum and curriculumimplementation practices in primary and secondary schools, Hipkins12 assessed that students maylearn content knowledge in “pieces”, which Perkins describes as “elementitis”(p.4).Subsequently, there is a lack of knowledge that "sticks" with students to allow them to constructrelevance and meaning from knowledge resulting in a lack of achievement. Some researchers develop principles that reflect the ideals of Perkins’ model, and

This meant that students minoring inSustainability were required to take additional courses outside the chemical engineeringdepartment and potentially add to their required degree credit hours.Once it was determined that a sustainability course would be developed, an initial review ofchemical engineering programs revealed that that there were not many broad-based Introductionto Sustainability courses that presented the principles of sustainability across all three pillars—environmental, social, and economic—in a chemical engineering context.

Because of limitations of the classroom environment, theseexperiences only simulate those encountered in the field, making it difficult for students toappreciate the importance of these skills in their career preparation.

The development of competencies to support engineering, in general,and innovation, in particular, is spiral in nature, with students building on some and adding newones as they progress through the curriculum. Innovations in the future will increasingly comefrom teams of collaborators who can bring together multiple skills and perspectives. Differentresearchers have highlighted different sets of (meta) competencies that engineers of the futurewill require. Some of these for innovation, and as adapted for the subject course of this paper(AME 4163), are listed in

A perspective-takingframework like SSPT could both standardize engineering ethics curriculum while also allowingfaculty the flexibility to choose which “moral context” to set the content in, such as global,economic, environmental, and/or societal.Alternatively, Garrigan et al. introduced in [8] the Social Information Processing-MoralDecision-Making (SIP-MDM) framework. This framework specifically links perspective-takingto moral development as a skill to be used when processing information [8]. Garrigan et

Criterion 4: The faculty must ensure that the program curriculum devotes adequate attention and time to each component consistent with program outcomes and objectives.Since the curriculum is developed into courses, each course has to be divided intocomponents, topics, or competencies that easily map into different program outcomes
