National Research Council3 criticized undergraduate engineering curricula for notreflecting the shifting needs of the engineering profession by saying that these curricula are“lacking the essential interdisciplinary character of modern design practice” (p. 4). As a result,NRC claimed, engineering graduates are poorly prepared to utilize “scientific, mathematical, andanalytical knowledge in the design of high-quality components, processes, and systems”. TheABET Engineering Criteria (earlier called Engineering Criteria 2000) reinforce theseperspectives as has the National Science Foundation in the last decade.4Curricular reform efforts have focused on developing new paradigms for engineering education,including an emphasis on active student learning
