Creating a "Global Algorithm" for Engineering EducationAbstractFor five generations American engineering education has rested upon a practical model ofdrawing a broad range of students with certain mathematical skills and wide technologicalinterests into a large-mouthed pedagogic funnel, gradually compressing their training into ever-narrower frames of specific, skill-sets and acumens. The result has been to standardize the end-products emerging from the apex of the educational funnel. Examinations and re-toolings ofengineering education have usually merely redirected the funnel with recommendations of newmethods and protocols for fine-tuning the relevance of contemporary technology to theclassroom and laboratory.
