In this instance, it referred to the environmental awareness of the engineer. Itis not enough to be good at calculations, but one has to be able to manage and understand theeconomic concept of the solution to know if and how a developed technical solution can beimplemented. This idea was embraced by many technical universities in many different formssee for example a recent overview created by Neeley and Steffensen [3].On the other hand, the students' perceptions of elements outside of their core curriculum are ingeneral not very positive (e.g. [5, 6]).

established a special “manufacturing area” to provide a morerealistic workplace environment. Our curriculum has been designed to help students obtain atwo-year Associate Technical Degree that combines cutting-edge manufacturing technology,paid working experience and hands-on education. The biggest improvement that differentiatesthe other programs is the hands-on experience - being able to go to work the next day and havehands-on practice with what they learned in class. As such, the graduates can bypass severalyears of on-the-job training to readily fill advanced positions in manufacturing. In addition,students learn business principles and best practices from a world class manufacturer known todeliver products high in safety and quality. This work

Learning a more generalized,relatively low-level, portable language such as C with an emphasis on small embedded systems(a term we use to denote devices without an operating system) is more useful for these types ofapplications.Courses on data structures, network protocols and operating systems are valuable, but addingthese to an already tight schedule of electrical engineering curriculum is asking too much.

In recognition of thisimportance, academic institutions allocate substantial resources to provide such support insideand outside of class. Support can take on a range of different forms and, in thinking holisticallyabout all support mechanisms, colleges are often faced with the challenge of identifying theefficacy of its investments in student support.

Many undergraduate engineering programs have a course that studies the principles offeedback control systems. Often, given the multi-disciplinary nature of controls, this course is presentedas a large lecture course. With the popularity of MATLAB and other simulation programs, students dohave the opportunity for a more interactive control system design experience. However, for thestudents who have great interest in the topic, many universities offer a split-level elective (i.e.4000/6000 dual-enrolled) allowing deeper study.
