diversity and collaboration, there was an initial optimism that theopportunity to build new programs from scratch in chemical, electrical and mechanicalengineering would allow great efficiency by integrating courses with similar content in differentdisciplines. Initial efforts at jointly teaching thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transferbetween chemical and mechanical engineering failed. Faculty in the two disciplines felt that thesubject matter needed to be directed toward the primary applications in their own disciplines, andstudents complained that they could not understand the material presented in the other discipline,or that the material was irrelevant.

sequential approach, teaching general principles and methods before skills of application. Historically, the dominance of science in an engineering curriculum manifests itself in methods of selecting and solving problems. The tendency to simplify beyond real constraints, and to consider practical issues as impediments to a simple clean solution, is a deviation from the truth that needs to be rectified. To address this deviation, the instructor can introduce real applications, and could also draw on his/her own personal experience, or on the experience of practitioners who may be willing to contribute by presenting a real life problem to the class, when a slot is available. Additionally, students who have participated in professional

Ethics is perceived, as well, as the expertise of non-engineers, and not necessarily integral to the technical engineering profession. An ethics across the curriculum approach will send the message, both performatively as well as rhetorically, that ethics is not simply an academic discipline, limited to college campuses, but that ethics is a part and parcel of the professional life of an engineer.
