Compared with many other disciplines theunderlying belief systems are in engineering education are more explicit [3], [6] due to regular,high-level reports; these have been reviewed elsewhere [7]. The first of those reports in the USwhich laid the foundation for many engineering degree programs was the Mann report [8] whichwas released in 1918 to contrast how the aims of engineering education developed with a rapidlyincreasing need for engineers in industry.

ConclusionsIn this paper, many concepts have been listed that when properly applied will lead a design teamto an optimal design of any product or service. Only by the skillful integration of design,manufacturing, and marketing an industry today can survive in this highly competitive worldwhere cost, time-to-market, and good quality are imperative for survival. The effective use ofsome of the concurrent engineering tools in engineering education presented and discussed inthis paper will certainly prepare the engineering graduates to meet the above challenges
