Nowadays, engineershave to know how to work in multi-cultural environments with people from different countries.This means the next generation of engineers will need to possess the ability to work seamlesslyacross cultures, have outstanding communication skills and be familiar with the principles ofproject management, logistics, and systems integration. • To face current real-world challenges, higher engineering education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to the new needs of engineering education, and at low costs.This means it is necessary to improve the agility of engineering education in the future.

It should be noted that because EGR 101 is now the only math prerequisite for thecore sophomore-level engineering courses, students who are not immediately successful in MTH229 Calc I can still advance in the program.Another key feature of the revised curriculum is the presence of formerly sophomore-levelengineering courses in the freshman year. In place of MTH 230 and 231 (the traditional Calc IIand Calc III courses), both ME 220 Introduction to Manufacturing Processes and ME 202Engineering Graphics have been moved to the freshman year.

In an age ofjust-in-time or just-for-you manufacturing, university courses tend to be just-as-they-always-were. Sustainability studies, regardless of how enthusiastically they are promoted byprogressive educators or university administrators, will not overcome the inertial culture ofhigher education.The necessary cultural change is not for all faculty to embrace sustainability, but to move awayfrom each professor having insisting that one limb of the body of knowledge continue to berepresented in the curriculum in the same way that he or she learned it. “Past discussions ofengineering education have largely focused on how to squeeze an
