comparison. We can make a few preliminary observations. First, the “Future”includes much more material in the systems category than we are suggesting here. For example,“Future” includes general modeling based on material and energy balances and many topics thatwe consider professional skills, e.g., ethics, globalization, intellectual property and so forth.While these topics are important, their link to PSE are tenuous; as a result, the systems topiccould be diluted into an “everything else” category that would not represent its centralimportance. Second, the “Future” proposes coverage of molecular level and multiscale topicsthat require further definition. We will observe the warning that “God (or the devil) is in thedetails”, and therefore, we

Therecognized competency gaps in today’s work force, according to the Manufacturing EducationFoundation [1], are: low level education, minimal skills to cope with high tech gadgets, lack ofmotivation for technical careers, poor communication skills, poor work ethics, unawareness ofjob opportunities, lack of adaptive skills, low skills in the use of energy related software, and lowlevel knowledge in the use of instruments for

Consequently, professionaleducation for practicing professional engineers must be focused on the highest categories of thecognitive domain in the taxonomy of educational objectives as shown in Figure 1.1,2,4 Inaddition; it must include important areas such as ethics, team building, and effectivemanagement of professionals that clearly fall within affective domain in the taxonomy ofeducational objectives.
