Another useful outcome was reaffirming the curriculum contentswith regional industry needs.By the end of the year, guidelines for TC2K self-study[2] were available from TAC of ABET.

freshman year. In most curricula, computing is then systematicallyignored for the remainder of the program, resulting in graduates who are weak in computational science.In many institutions, ours included, the freshman computer science course fell victim to cuts caused bypressure to reduce the number of total hours in the curriculum. These outcomes stand at odds with thefeedback from industry that students need more computational knowledge upon graduation [1].There is room for debate as to which computational environment is best for students to learn and whatshould be the nature of computational knowledge taught. The answers vary across disciplines anduniversities, yet faculty generally agree that students need more education in how to use

The “Internet” was developed by scientists and researchers at DARPA in 1962,long before most people had any concept of what a computer was or could do2. Primarily usedfor research, this resource saw no real change for 30 years. In 1990’s the “World Wide Web”was developed by a group of people who worked on different components of this newtechnology to make the WWW a reality2.

This approach applies not only to our ownengineering students, but also to our non-engineering students, i. e, those whom we (areabout to) instruct in technological literacy. Such an educational approach could alsoprovide a professional and social representation of the engineer to the rest of society. Representation is a word with great resonance within the community of designprofessionals and instructors. For example, in Engineering Design: A Synthesis of Views,C.

The work experiences were traditionally performed on board theMMA training ship or on commercial vessels. The Power Engineering Technology (PET)program was developed in the late 1980s as an expansion of the marine-focused programs at thecollege. Since this program was not related to the maritime industry, the school decided toincorporate a two-course, co-operative (Co-op) education experience in operating powergeneration facilities. These courses would follow the sophomore and junior years of theprogram. The experience gained during these work periods would be used
