thesegoals and result in extraordinary transformation of both teacher and students. Studentengagement and excitement are elevated at the same time as the depth of learning increases.Students become better engineers because they can think critically, solve problems individuallyor in teams, write better, and orally present information. Teachers find themselves challengingstudents with an even more demanding curriculum. Examples from a software engineeringcourse will illustrate how these methods can challenge students more, create higher standards forlearning, and produce better engineers than a typical lecture approach to teaching.2.

There was an interest in flexibility in the curriculum,so that students can take specialized courses such as entrepreneurship courses if they so desire.There was a stated need for text modules, not textbooks, to integrate innovative material into thetraditional courses. A recommendation was made to aggregate best practices from differentinstitutions to be shared among peers.

? The incorporation of a thesis or capstone project offers students an opportunity to research a subject in further depth or integrate their skills in an industry project.· Should a certain number of core courses be required? The inclusion of a set of core courses tends to add more structure to a degree program, but can remove some of the flexibility that students tend to enjoy.· Is the degree also available through distance education? More degree programs are now offering their classes to non-traditional students located away from the local campus.

are measured by their worth to industry upon graduation. In graduate education, a student’s worth many times is based on their potential to help faculty sustain research dollars. Engineering-only institutions are more likely to be in search of research dollars. Institutions dependent on research dollars for their existence must reward these faculty, thus creating an atmosphere where a Ph.D. is a requirement for tenure and promotion. This arrangement is not conducive to faculty collaboration between engineering and ET programs.• A seamless transition for students to go from ET to engineering and back again is promoted when the ET program requires differential and integral calculus in their curriculum.• With the change in the ABET

Lackof student preparation in all dimensions needed to succeed in the engineering environment–a“misalignment” between engineering education and practice has long been noted, and manyengineering graduates still endure a challenging transition to the workforce [1], [2]. To addressthis need, engineering educators have incorporated project-based learning in the curriculum [3],[4], [5], including capstones [6] and design projects [7].
