The satisfaction ofCaterpillar with their participation and the project results is expressed in the following quotefrom Paul Watts in an email exchange following the program. “ . . . I am equally as glad the project was a success. We are actually building on one ofthe design ideas to implement as a cost reduction and I will keep you posted on developments.”Near the end of last year Paul informed me that design and manufacturing specifications hadbeen completed for the Team 1 redesign concept and production has resulted in a cost reductionof 28%.

However, design can also encompass a process to achieve adesirable end result. Process engineering is widely utilized in manufacturing and chemicalengineering.2,3 In many instances designing how to make something is more challenging thanthe original design of the component. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry attainingstability in synthesized molecules is an immense challenge.4 A more common example, inmanufacturing, is how to make a machine component economically, since in most cases severalprocesses are possible (machining, casting, etc.).

What’s the new paradigm look like and whatdoes it mean for education?The answer to the first question is clearly yes, as I will show through a description of this newworld view that more correctly models the modern world. The new world view I present appliesto all engineers, even though it is certainly not accepted yet by most engineers. This paper, then,presents an alternative lens through which to understand the world and see the route that we musttake.Engineers’ Current World ViewWe see our role as problem solvers and believe that nearly all problems can be solved, typicallyby breaking the problem down into smaller pieces.

It is important to work with drugs in Phase I or II of development,since these changes can be incorporated into the final manufacturing steps that are approved bythe FDA. By Phase III, “synthesis lock” and “process lock” prevent innovations from beingeasily implemented. The team is working on developing a heuristic that pharmaceuticalcompanies can follow in the development of new drugs. The specific objectives of this project are to identify reductions in the use of hazardouschemicals in a drug synthesis.

Successful systems engineers must therefore be able tocommunicate with and understand the issues that are dealt with by a multitude of different peoplesuch as marketing, design engineers, manufacturing technicians, and maintenance personnel. Thissuggests a need for introducing more multi-disciplinary concepts using a team-based approach todesign problems in the Aerospace curriculum.

educators, numerous universities have recast their curricula offering “cornerstonedesign” courses, some of which bear up to 3 credit hours for both semesters of the freshmanyear14-17. While it is undeniable that these courses have a positive effect on students, it must alsobe recognized that the implementation of cornerstone projects in the curriculum is costly in termsof faculty time, and departmental resources, making full blown adaptation of this approachunattractive for many engineering schools11-12. In a 2005 survey of first year programs Wankatand Brannan reported that Introduction to Engineering courses averaged 1.6 credits, and thatonly 21.9% of the engineering schools surveyed had 2-semester intro to engineering courses18.These statistics

To integrate ethics modulesmore thoroughly across the engineering curriculum a systematic approach is required with properaccounting of teaching load for ethics/philosophy faculty who lecture in multiple courses.
