For example, some of the partners received complementary grants by other Foundations (e.g., a Procter and Gamble grant to UPRM to expand MEEP into Chemical Engineering), and all institutions received grants for infrastructure development.• Fifth, this project has generated books by inter-institutional teams of faculty (Technology-based Entrepreneurship and Concurrent Engineering course material).• Sixth, there were enhanced employment opportunities for students.• Seventh, cultural, gender and professional barriers were overcome to achieve results.CONCLUSIONSA fundamental difference between this curricular reform

situationsinto abstract mathematical models. The engineering curriculum is filled with analysis courses,and the focus is invariably on the analysis of completely determined homework problems thatrepresent some implied abstraction from reality (and for which a "unique" answer is available inthe back of the book).Furthermore, intuition is a vital component of human decision-making, and it is no less so inengineering problem-solving. Given the inexorable development of technology, the curriculumis under continual compaction as new topics are added and older material is edged out tomaintain a nominal 4 year program. One of the earliest casualties in this process has been theapplication of engineering principles to practical problems through the mechanism of
