To be competitive in the employment market, engineers must have a solid, fundamental technical education in their discipline which meets ABET general and program criteria; this cannot be accomplished with less than 96 units of technical content. However, to meet the level needed for an entry-level engineering professional, their programs need not be so specialized that they are unable to communicate with either the public or other technical professionals in different disciplines. 2.

The learning modules solve difficultproblems that would be impossible to solve analytically without advanced graduate levelcoursework and/or an inappropriately large amount of time.Over six-years of adapting and changing the learning modules, student success on – andperception of – the assignments improved.
