revolution, however, most of the problems to be solved by work-ing engineers will be novel problems, often created by new technology or the combination ofcross-disciplines. Certainly professors created knowledge previously in their minds, yet theytypically do not transmit to students the insights and judgments used in producing the knowl-edge. Providing students (especially Millennials) the reasons why selected information was in-cluded/excluded in course content is a critical part of the knowledging process. Useful insightson how experts (professors) differ from novices (students) enhance understanding.5Knowledging is to teach the student the process of creating by judgment the knowledge to solvethe given problem.

Thecore activity of this class is the construction and testing of a simple remotely-operated vehicle(ROV) made out of PVC pipe, toy motors, and other simple components. It is through thediscussion and analysis of this vehicle and its various parts that the many facets of OceanEngineering are introduced to the students.

At the federal level, Congress seeks to provide guidanceto state legislatures through incentives and related policies offered through the U.S. Department of Education(DoED). Furthermore, state and federal governments have a significant impact on public and private educationthrough directed program development and technology research grants. Some recent examples of federal investmentinclude initiatives in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs, info/nano/biotechnology research, and more recently advanced manufacturing.

. Engineers, whetherstudents or professionals, need to remember that problem solving involves understanding theentire process; a black box solver should never be trusted! It is shameful that students andgraduates alike pick up a calculator to work simple sums, products, and functions that theyshould be exercising their minds to determine. Calculators, spreadsheet templates, computerprograms, and other technological devices save a great deal of time. They aren’t bad -- they justshouldn’t be used blindly. Users need to understand the basis and limitations of any technologybefore relying on it.Within any STEM field, a skill that requires careful development is that of effectivelycommunicating solutions.

In the case of the design componentof curricula, these outcomes define what the student has learned and is capable of doing withrespect to design. The set of outcomes which apply to all of the engineering disciplines becomecriteria for the curricula. Achievement of these outcomes requires assessment at critical pointsin the educational process if growth in student design ability is to be developed throughout thecurriculum. This perspective is reflected in proposed changes in accreditation requirements set bythe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET, 1995).

anti-technology and anti-government attitude in the USA. Thegoals of the IDES division were to help recruit and retain students who had the ability to doengineering but also had other compelling interests. To retain maximum flexibility the decisionwas made to not seek ABET accreditation and to require a minimum of 30 credits ofengineering. Students were only allowed to follow plans of study that could not be done in oneof the standard disciplines offered at the university.By the early 21st century it was evident that IDES was serving two groups of students. Onegroup of students wanted an engineering education but did not plan to pursue an engineeringcareer. For example, these students were in preprofessional programs such as
