A significant difference, however, is thatthe Chinese do not rely heavily on self-design and often there is substantial human interventionto maintain the system.6In the introduction, we present a definition for ecological engineering that is a slightly modifiedversion of Mitsch’s: Ecological engineering is the design of sustainable systems consistent with ecological principles that integrate human society with its

The new criteria represent a paradigm shift in accreditation from a highlyprescriptive set of criteria to a relatively simplified, flexible set of outcomes-based criteria whichfocus on the attributes engineering graduates are to have. These attributes are, •an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; •an ability to design and conduct experiments as well

In fact, one of our respondents said, “Tosucceed, engineers must have tremendous communications skills.”At our university, our communication initiatives already take globalism somewhat into account.In our Communication-Intensive (C-I) courses, we emphasize 4 modes of communication:written, spoken, visual, and technological. Of these, only 2 are language specific. However,even when working in language-specific modes, rhetorical strategies that consider audienceneeds are taught so that language can be supplemented with graphical information, calculations,or other non-linguistic elements.

theability of an engineer to undertake good sketches. The sketch as a means ofcommunication cannot be underestimated. More often than not, most great ideas, insightsand general ‘eureka’ moments occur when computers are not readily available. Theinteraction one can have with others over a sketch is also hard to beat. The informationdensity in a sketch also far surpasses that of the written word, the old adage ‘a picture isworth a thousand words’ still stands true today. The sketch also, by its very informality,encourages others to contribute to its development and the use of a pencil generally formsno technological barriers. All in all, it remains a tremendous tool for design and so shouldcommandeer its fair share of a design course’s allotted time
