education is equally sought by engineering educators: “Only connect.”3And yet our institutional environments discourage this “combinatory play” of disciplines,methods, and ways of thinking. The traditional means of integrating engineering and thehumanities is through general education requirements, which students tend to take during theirfirst two years, in lower-level survey courses. Here they learn a bit about history, writing, orphilosophy, with the hope that they will remember and draw on this work once they dig into theirmajor coursework and projects.

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Evidence for design of mechanical engineering curriculumAbstractNumerous sources of evidence can be used in design of mechanical engineering curriculum, fromreports from large organizations, such as ASME’s Vision 2030, NAE’s Engineer of 2020, ABETCriteria, and NCEES’s exam specifications, to peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks,handbooks, job advertisements, and contact with working engineers. Each source has differentbenefits and limitations. For example, reports from organizations are too broad to specify whichtextbook sections can be skipped without consequences. Therefore, a synthesis of numeroussources is necessary for design of an engineering curriculum. There is broad
