exercise, with curriculumbeing designed to minimise competition with other regional Higher Education Institutions(HEIs). Courses are often planned to attract students who are ‘initiative-’ or ‘technology-aware’ (for example, the recent explosion of courses in Internet Engineering). It is bothdifficult and resource intensive to maintain meaningful advisory relationships with a broadrange of current engineering practitioners. Therefore many HEIs prefer to simply consult aselect band of industrially-based departmental friends when proposals are all but complete.One should therefore not be surprised that our curriculum is not always ideally suited to thecomplexities of the current industrial environment.The University’s PerspectiveThroughout the rapid

New and emerging technologies. Give students increased flexibility to focus elective courses or pursue a minor in areas important to the current industry needs: MEMS, nanotechnology, biotechnology, automotive, fuel cells, health science, etc. One way to increase the flexibility in the curriculum, for example, is to reduce the number of required ME core courses and create a four-credit advanced engineering course option. Some topics currently being considered for the advanced engineering course include Manufacturing for Designers

This professionalrequirement also calls on the engineering educators to develop the engineering curriculumenriched with ethics and professionalism.An engineering undergraduate can passively learn professionalism and ethics through seniorcapstone design, summer internships and undergraduate research. However, these opportunitieshave limitations. Hence, as the instructors in an engineering program, the authors felt more onthe formal teaching and practice on ethics and professional conduct needed to raise theawareness in accordance with ABET Student Outcomes-f and i, and the professional bodyexpectations.

Thus, even with similar knowledge on the settings for ESI educationwithin a program, individuals may have differing opinions on what level of ESI education issufficient.A number of the write-in comments to the open-ended question regarding broad thoughts on ESIeducation advocated for an ethics across the curriculum approach, and it seems reasonable thatfaculty with those beliefs would make this effort in their own courses. One example comment is: “Ethics is a very broad topic and I feel, much like it's subtopic of safety, it is best integrated across the curriculum rather than in a single course. In this way students do not compartmentalize ethics into a philosophical and case study

In additionto illustrating how we have incorporated PBL experiences in our curriculum, this paper willinclude examples of problems, tools, and assessment techniques designed to promote thelearning of these soft skills.IntroductionIn order to achieve ABET accreditation, engineering programs must demonstrate achievement ofa minimum set of program outcomes, as described in ABET’s Criterion 3. These outcomes arestatements that describe skills that “students are expected to know or be able to do by the time ofgraduation from the program.”1 A closer examination of these skills suggests that they can bedivided into two sets as illustrated in Table 1.

Teachers lecture andstudents listen without questions or open discussion. This has resulted in minimum interactionbetween students and teachers. Generally, in western schools, student-teacher interactions areencouraged and expected. Enlightened educators today have come to realize that it is importantnot only to ask questions, but to learn how to ask the right questions. “Two-way” interactionbetween teachers and students stimulates learning, helps develop positive attitudes, and fosterscreativity and independent thinking.Curriculum: The curriculum is an
