standard four-year curriculum for engineering education.”27In every case, these documents call for more broadly educated engineers who can bring a moreholistic approach to problem-solving—engineers who understand systems thinking, businessprinciples, public policy, and leadership; who can communicate effectively and adopt a globalperspective; and who display adaptability, entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and practicalingenuity. How can all of these new competencies be addressed in the already strained four-yearengineering curriculum? The most frequent answer is that they cannot—that adequatepreparation for professional practice must include additional formal education beyond thebaccalaureate degree, and that the baccalaureate degree itself must
