prerequisites to besuccessful in a reengineering effort. A few of the major organizational elements thatmust be effected along with many other parts of the organization are: governance andmanagement structures, organizational culture and climate, quality initiatives,measurement of customer satisfaction and overall service delivery. Reengineering is distinctly different from traditional total quality management andcontinuous quality improvement. Reengineering triggers changes of many kinds --anything associated with the process must be refashioned in an integrated way. There are no industries today as difficult to change as in academia.

since its inception over a century ago. Changing technology, ofcourse, has provided much of the impetus for reform. But so, too, has the continually evolving context in whichengineers operate. The realms of business and government have simply refused to stand still. Those responsible fortraining engineers, if they wished to put their graduates in position to do meaningful work in the world, have had torevisit the curriculum from time to time with an eye toward preparing students to function in novel workingarrangements that reflect both changing economic circumstances and evolving social values. Perhaps never has this been so true than at present. Today’s engineering graduates enter a work environment fardifferent from the one their

The VIPprogram is an alliance of universities from around the world including Georgia Tech., Texas A&MUniversity, Stony Brook, Purdue, University of Pretoria, South Africa, Inha University, South Korea,etc., where graduate and undergraduate students take part in long-term projects. The projects areled by faculty from the same or other schools in the consortium in a start-up company setting wherestudents apply and develop technical as well as professional skills.

This paper describes a knowledge representation framework developed by Hahn andChater [41] for analyzing a person’s episode of reasoning while solving a problem and presentssome preliminary results of the application of this framework to students taking a course insignal and systems. This course occurs in the junior year of an electrical engineeringundergraduate curriculum at a larger public university. The preliminary results demonstrate thatthe framework can be successfully used to distinguish between different types of reasoning thatstudents use when solving problems in this course.

Shannon and Weaver’stheory of communication was used by both Hill and McCarthy & Monk, which suggests a linkbetween these two models (Mandviwalla & Hovav, 1998).The framework designed by McCarthy & Monk was based on a multidisciplinary approach tocomputer-mediated communication in which they developed an information processing model.They identify three resources that facilitate grounding.

Empathyaddresses 21st century needs that require interaction and intuition of others’ needs related tosustainable design [6]. Work, management and social science scholar Daniel Pink proposes thatempathy is one of six qualities vital to future global success [8]. The increased appreciation ofsocial issues that accompanies expanded empathy gives greater insight into things like socialinequality and discrimination [9]. Moreover, an academic curriculum that teaches empathy isassociated with greater ease in learning, future promotion in the workforce, leadership skills,business acumen, and positive
