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

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.

Forerunners of ME310(also labeled ME210, E210, E310) date back, in its current form, to at least 1972. CDR wasestablished in 1985 and research in ME310 has been going on near 25 years.
