With a focus on pro- viding students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive. Teams apply a company’s core competencies to help develop new products and markets. This experien- tial learning emphasizes real-world problem solving, professional communication and ethics, teamwork, and implementation of a formalized design process. Additionally, Rogers has created the Social Innova- tion and Commercialization

By the same token many full time faculty have little practical experience and are illequipped to teach some of the new skills in the BOK, such as contracts, ethics, andglobalization of the engineering profession. As a result mechanisms must be put in place toassist the faculty of tomorrow to become proficient in all of the described characteristics.

Recentdevelopment to introduce “writing across the curriculum” pedagogy is an excellent example of adesired skill or capability that can be integrated at a number of different points within theprogram. An “Academic Thread” is suggested as a paradigm for formalizing the integration of atopic across a number of different courses within the curriculum. While the desire forcurriculum integration and the idea of integrating a topic across multiple courses is not new,Academic Threads and the ABET emphasis on program and course learning objectives areproposed as avenues to formalize and better focus these

These boundaries change, or move in response to the various callsfor curriculum change. Therefore it is important to not only define the boundary locations, butalso the contents within the boundaries. For example, if you asked engineering educators whatskills an engineering education should provide its graduates they would probably use words likegraduates should be well-grounded in analysis skills (problem solving capabilities); able tosynthesize (do engineering design); and have essential social skills including both written andoral communications, an understanding of ethics, teamwork, leadership, etc

Open-ended projects together with experiments in the design courses are chosen toprovide context for and reinforce the engineering science taught concurrently.
