CenturyFor the U.S., broad-based discussions in the 1990s about engineering graduates’ capabilities andchanging realities in the workplace lead to major restructurings of accreditation criteria.5-7.Recently published engineering career profiles call for enhancements in technical proficiencies,contextual awareness (teamwork and globalism), and personal attributes. For example, theprofile for quality performance from a practicing engineer developed by Davis, Beyerlein, andDavis illustrates the broadening of engineering education to include a range of interpersonal andprofessional skills or behaviors.8We frame our discussion of PRISM by focusing on a less well-publicized change in demands forpractitioners – the impact of advanced, computer-based

Duringthe1960’s, 70’s and, to some extend, the1980’s, Fortran was the only language withscientific functions.
