The fundamentals of science and mathematics willcontinue to be the foundation for engineering. But engineering will have additionaldimensions. It will be information and molecular based using new and differentmaterials. Moreover, it will be an interactive global enterprise. The future engineer mustunderstand project/activity management, how businesses function, and the social contextof engineering practice. The design space has expanded, and now includes social,economic, and policy-related consequences.In short, ASCE believes the

used in designing the topical map is to teach broad system level concepts and analyses first followed by in depth treatments of the pertinent subtopics. This ensures that the engineer always has the “forest” in mind while he or she tackles the “trees”. Furthermore, the applications “close the loop” by reemphasizing system level concepts and exploiting the deep analytic tools developed earlier. Since the program culminates in a thesis that addresses an immediate aerospace communication problem, research goals are a major consideration in the topical design. This ensures students will be adequately prepared to make a significant research contribution (see figure 3). Since there is a wide variety of research areas in communication engineering

A second challenge is thatthese contemplative practices require extensive first-hand experience before an educator is ableor ready to share them with students. This makes the solution not scalable, since it is not realisticto assume that mass numbers of technology and engineering educators will take up and sustainmindfulness meditation practice.
