Hence, it becomes more practical to use these skills towork in a group setting. Moreover, this growth enables groups to address truly useful andinteresting problems by dividing expertise amongst various group members, thereby providing avenue to practice professional skills.StructuralParticipants also spoke at length regarding structural components found commonly in a well-designed and executed curriculum, per Figure 2.

INTRODUCTIONSince 1992, students in our undergraduate mechanical engineering program have been carryingout major design projects. The process of integrating major design project activities was spreadover three phases. The first phase, which took place between 1992 and 1994, consisted of a pilotprogram with forty students. The implementation of an engineering design option between 1995and 1999 constituted the second phase. The last phase embraced the complete reform of theundergraduate curriculum based on the development of competencies and the horizontal/verticalintegration of engineering sciences and engineering design.One of the principal objectives of the major design projects is to allow the students to live amajor design experience within the

Typical graduate engineering curriculum consists of a set ofcore courses which address critical competencies needed to enhance technical skills, followedby course technical electives in a concentration area. However, most of the programs aredeveloped without any direct involvement or collaboration of an external industry. As a result,the specialized programs are not effective.Curricula structured around traditional disciplines can be easily developed without anyindustry involvement.
