important in today’s technology-driven global economy.Engineers with a background in metrology will perform better in their chosen careers asdesigners of tomorrow’s measurement equipment because they know the needs of theircustomers, maybe better than the customers themselves. Unfortunately, many test equipmentpurchasers do not know what type of calibration they need until the day they get audited and findthat they do not comply with their industry’s standards. By understanding internationalmetrology requirements, engineers will choose calibration methods that are acceptedinternationally, and they will save their companies money by saving redesign, rework, orrecalibration costs.

Steyn, engineering education cannot be solely based on memorization andtechnical calculation. It is imperative that the engineering students develop critical thinking skillsfor better understanding and reasoning of problems they may face professionally in the future.Critical thinking is the process of conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/orevaluating information obtained by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning

They didn’t necessarily want to limit theirchild’s learning to engineering concepts. “I wouldn't say [I've exposed him] engineering directly, but more via science and technology.” “I wasn't trying to

Additionally, examples oflecture and laboratory sessions are included.1.0 IntroductionEngineering graphics courses have been a cornerstone of most engineering programs in theUnited States for several decades. Over the past few years much attention has been focused onthe paradigm shift from teaching 2D drafting skills to 3D solid modeling in first-year engineeringcurriculums1,2. With the advent of 3D solid modeling software such as Mechanical Desktop,Pro/E, and Solidworks, more schools are integrating this approach in their engineering graphicscourses3 . Another reason for the transition is the demand from industry that their engineersunderstand such technology. Such an approach allows schools to integrate engineering design
future endeavors. Students, therefore,appear to have accepted that collaborative learning, teamwork and communication skills areimportant aspects of the curriculum. It is time for the faculty to utilize these concepts andenhance the collaborative learning process in engineering programs.It has been mentioned that the development of communication skills is important for engineeringstudents. In fact, it has been written that engineers must become involved in broader issues andvarious non-technical groups10. This often requires the use of presentation and speaking skills.To assist in this effort, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology requires thatoral communication skills must be demonstrated within the curriculum by each

to instill this same sort of basic knowledge in its students. In the case of the engineeringstudents who take the course, they are really learning this to enhance their general knowledge.They may never use this information in their future careers, but they will have an understandingof everyday occurrences. Many new technologies that involve genes raise concerns and causedebates because they impact our everyday lives. Some of the major issues related to genetics arethe use of DNA evidence in criminal trials, genetically engineered food products, cloning, andgenetic screening.2 Engineers should be able to form informed opinions about these subjectsbecause they will most likely encounter them in their lives.
