engineering graphics education. When teaching a subject, we should try tobuild a curriculum which is concise and logical and is relevant both to the students and to theneeds of industry. To enhance visualization ability, students should have the chance to practiceand to sketch a lot of isometric and oblique pictorials. For architectural majors it is important tobe able to make perspective drawings. It is obvious that computers will largely replace hand-drawn designs and that they play an important role in engineering design process today.However, are they a true substitute for hand-made drawings and for the concepts born inperson’s imagination?One general question remains unanswered: How can we cover all this in a single three-creditcourse?Fig.1 Two

This series of key engineering activities constitutes the major elementsof system architecture, which is an essential predecessor to any successful engineering effort,especially as the complexity of systems/systems of systems and socio-technical systems continueto grow.Unfortunately, these architecture-centric activities and system thinking techniques are nottypically part of an engineering curriculum. Undergraduate academics are so filled with corecourses and humanities that domain learning is primarily limited to the upper class years, leavinglittle room for system architecture. Noticing the gap in system architecture education, severaluniversities have recently started offering architecture related graduate degrees/certificates.However

many stakeholders have a vague awareness offirst principles thinking as a philosophy of knowledge construct, there is a gap in conceptualizingthis in the engineering and education literature.Thematic analysis was used to identify several key findings. First, while some stakeholdersviewed first principles thinking as a learning and problem solving strategy, others tied thepractice to the disciplinary knowledge itself, for example, key theories and equations and theirderivations. While these two conceptualizations are related, the latter provides less room fortransfer to the engineering problem solving process, and stakeholders expressed an interest inbuilding this opportunity to transfer the skill to other engineering contexts.

Character Education’s roots lie in behavioral ethics. Behavioral ethics can beviewed as an understanding of desirable and undesirable actions based on a society’sperceptions and norms. Once an individual understands and perceives society’sdistinctions between positive and negative actions, character education then enables theindividual to internalize these values. As a result the individual develops a personal codeof professional conduct which then guides their daily interactions.According to Pfatteicher’s article published in

It is notclear that the sum of the parts of education adds up to the higher levels of intellectual integrationrequired in the capacity to collaborate for sustainable design.Given the urgent international call for sustainable development by intergovernmental coalitions[1, 4, 12] and the integral role that engineers are expected to play in this transition, engineeringeducators would benefit from knowing if current curricula are preparing students for thiscomplex task of collaborating for sustainable design. Certainly, an instrument to assess students’readiness does not facilitate their readiness just as “measuring the pig
