standards such as solving real‐world problems involving equations and systemsof equations in algebra are comparable to common core standards such as “creating equationsthat describe numbers or relationships and understanding solving equations as a process ofreasoning and explain the reasoning”3.The envisioned level of knowledge for solving real-worldproblems requires an integrative engineering approach that applies the fundamentals ofmathematics.The approach discussed in this paper focuses on applying a basic engineering method, namely,„system analysis‟ to avoid a trial-and-error approach for obtaining a solution to a technical designof a real-world problem. The trial-and error method does not allow for the analysis of the system

economic implications of their work.9-10 Thisrecognition has been incorporated into the educational requirements for engineering andcomputing students; for example, ABET EAC Criterion 3 outcome (h)11 and ABET CACCriterion 3 outcome G12. These broader impacts can be considered macroethical issues, wherethe profession itself has responsibilities.13 The proposed ABET EAC Criterion 3 Outcome 5 11seems to acknowledge this more holistic view of ethics: “An ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which mustconsider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societalcontexts.” (pg. 26).There are a number of different curricular models for

addressing, is how to "sell" a campus-wide course to non-engineering majors who view an AE4xxx designation with horror, and to engineering students whose technical elective space is "owned" by their home departments.2. The second problem is how to make sure that each type learns the issues across the domains of the other, rather than fall into the trap of many industrial cross-functional teams that degenerate into islands of insecurity. There is a bewildering array of technologies being pursued as part of the solution for energy independence. Even the small sampling of disciplines in Table 1 shows us why developing the abilities and experience of the learner has to be at the center of the curriculum.3. The third challenge is to ensure

where the majority of E and ET graduates flow to themiddle of CDIO and engage in “design-implement” tasks within 3-5 years after graduation.Several implications of a continuum-based framework for engineering education were debatedwithin the context of two alternative curricular approaches. The first approach envisions a two-year curriculum in which E and ET students enroll in a set of common technical core courses. Atthe end of the second year, students would make a well-educated decision to become eitherengineering or engineering technology majors, subsequently completing a BS degree. Thesecond approach mimics the educational models in medicine, nursing, or law. A professionalengineering degree would require a pre-requisite 4-year
