He/she must be able to use creative thinking andinnovative design principles, while grasping importance of changing technologies. Moreover,working within multidisciplinary teams of other industry professionals and communicatingeffectively across all disciplines is of paramount importance 2.Involvement and, for some, leadership roles in “real world” projects that “balance technicalsolutions with social, cultural, environmental, economic, and sustainability concerns, in

It is easy to seehow a student is impacted when he/she hears directly from the person making policies that affectan entire country or organizations so large that they affect an entire region of the world. Inexposing Bradley students to these experiences, the author has enriched their cultural andprofessional knowledge and directly addressed at least three program outcomes (understandingof professional and ethical responsibility, broad education in a global context, and contemporaryissues) listed in ABET’s Criterion 3.3.3 Impact

: Most people think that technology is little more than the application of science to solve practical problems…They are not aware that modern technology is the fruit of a complex interplay between science, engineering, politics, ethics, law, and other factors. People who operate under this misconception have a limited ability to think critically about technology—to guide the development and use of a technology to ensure that it provides the greatest benefit for the greatest number of citizens.32Consistent with the NRC’s vision, the integrated approach used in our AI/philosophy curriculumhelps educate students to think differently about technology and fundamentally question thepossibilities of AI for meeting

The pre- and post-survey that was presented in this paper showed evidence that RCSstudents’ perceptions of their communication and metacognition skills increased.Evans, et al explained the results of a survey that was completed by engineering employers andengineering alumni. 6 “But both the industry group and the alumni rated communication skills,professionalism and ethics, and a responsible and open mind, above both depth and breadth oftechnical skills, and math and science skills.

addition, expertise in an area does not guarantee that one can effectivelyteach others about that area.7 Further, knowledging is also dependent upon the ability of studentsto teach themselves. Therefore, engineering faculty must design the four-year curriculum to in-clude knowledging.The senior year occurs with its capstone courses featuring an accent upon product design and itsperipheral subjects such as safety, legal liability, ethics, cost analysis, etc. In the domain of engi-neering, the word “design” has a reduced meaning from that commonly found in our societysince design does not usually start with a blank slate but with a prototype that is to be optimizedaccording some given new specifications. Thus, design means, “design analysis.”The

Additionally, companies need to know that the class is not being sold to them as a ruse for donations. Students are often only one step away from being employed as engineers in the project sponsors’ companies. When project sponsors know that your students take completion seriously, they will be more motivated to hire your students, knowing that a strong work and completion ethic is also something that students leave your program with. In the real world, incomplete projects lead to failed companies. 7. Money isn’t everything. The monetary contribution to the design clinic
