Additionally, several principles wereidentified and used as an aid in curriculum decisions, including a smaller core, flexible technicalelectives for multiple emphasis areas, and broad based methodology courses.In this paper, we first describe the development of the curriculum that integrates the principles ofthe system design process with curriculum development.

. BackgroundABET [1] requires engineering technology baccalaureate degree programs to “provide acapstone or integrating experience that develops student competencies in applying both technicaland non-technical skills in solving problems.” In fulfilling this mandate, many institutions offer aone or two-semester culminating capstone project for seniors where they work with a projectsponsor to produce the desired deliverable. Capstone projects provide a great experientiallearning opportunity for students to own the project and their learning while applying the desiredtechnical and non-technical skills to solve problems [2]. Team capstone projects provideengineering technology programs a unique opportunity to assess the 1 – 5 student outcomes [3].For example

education, yet the meaning of the term, “technology” is rarelyconsidered. “Technology” has its etymological roots in the classical Greek word techne (τέχνη).In its original usage, techne was used to describe general expertise in craft or art. Morespecifically, techne implies a combination of knowing and doing within a certain context.Consequently, techne could be used to describe artistic and engineering production that satisfiesformal and functional needs. Techne underscores the intimate relationship between art andengineering when practiced by a master hand.The concept of techne emphasizes the importance of integrating a liberal education with atechnical education. Unfortunately, engineering students frequently schedule their liberal artscourses

VanderLeest Department of Engineering, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI1 AbstractA typical four-year engineering curriculum is chock-full of courses, concepts, and ideas.However, four years is simply not enough time to explore the vast landscape of engineeringknowledge thoroughly. Thus trade-offs are made selecting material within a course as well asselecting courses within a curriculum. One of these trade-offs is depth versus breadth. At theextremes, the specialist is too narrow while the generalist is too shallow. Most curricula locatethemselves between these two poles, with general engineering programs leaning
