Thisprogram called for innovative strategies to effect reform, including streamlining thecurriculum through the reduction of legacy materials, introducing topics in emerging areas ofengineering, and forming integrated partnerships that cross disciplines and focus ontechnological systems. CSM engineering faculty interested in curriculum reform developed aproposal to this solicitation; the proposal was funded in fall 2002.

organizationalflexibility and a flattening of the organizational structure. The cornerstones, research and teaching, of the faculty culture are dominated byindividuals, not teams. The nature of higher education is to place emphasis on theaccomplishments of the isolated individual rather than on team efforts. The emergence of teamsin the academy will cause an increase in the administrative responsibility of faculty, aredistribution in the power and authority of faculty members and a reprioritization of work loadand philosophy about teams. Engineering faculty members are often uncomfortable with the collaborative nature ofteamwork.
