Design and problem solving skills remain criticalobjectives. Other required subject matter includes mathematics and basic sciences; however, thegeneral criteria do not prescribe specific mathematical topics, leaving such specifications in theprogram criteria. The criteria continue to stress communication skills, multidisciplinaryteamwork, ethics, and an understanding of engineering practice in the context of society.

General Education Requirement in the Physical Sciences.I. IntroductionIn typical Engineering programs, there is desire to integrate technical education with traditionalliberal arts studies to educate a well-rounded engineer. Those studies include written and oralskill development, exploration of human existence through studies in philosophy and religion,and analysis of ethical issues. The liberal arts studies are usually an integral part of anengineering curriculum.Through this integrated approach to technical education, the Engineering graduate is prepared tobecome a responsible member of the technical community, and society as a whole.Unfortunately, there is fragmentation of knowledge in the undergraduate liberal arts experiencebrought

A majorobjective of the case studies is to expose students to some aspects of the modern practice ofengineering, namely: teamwork, problem and data analysis, design creation, presentation anddefense of a designed solution, and professional ethics. The case study work is carefullystructured to engage students in the engineering activities of critical thinking and analysis of acomplex problem. Highly technical aspects of engineering requiring training not yet received bythe students are avoided.A common case study used in engineering training is

The EAC of ABET requires that engineering programs must demonstrate the fulfillment of a set of criteria. One of those criteria, Criterion 3 Program Outcomes, requires that engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain eleven outcomes, often referred to as „a-k‟. The six specific outcomes that the leadership courses address are: d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility g) an ability to communicate effectively h) the broad education necessary to
