of the course and remedial actions will be devised toaddress any shortcomings.IntroductionIn an era of changing market forces and increasingly complex projects/designs/systems,engineering students are expected to be introduced to real world problems as part of theirtraining. Engineering students must be exposed to the complex interactions, across manydisciplines, of real-world engineered systems. Teaching engineering and engineering-relatedcourses to undergraduates is an interesting and rewarding task. Graduates from engineeringprograms must not only be technologically capable, but they are also expected to exhibit real-world problem solving skills, be team oriented, be able to function in a multi-disciplinary

A cursory review of the eleven required capabilitiesof graduates listed in Criterion 3 of these criteria1 reveals that design is an important componentof engineering degree programs. Students must be able to perform design and many relatedaspects of open-ended team-based problem solving, and educators must assess and documentstudents’ achievement2. Once student achievement of design has been assessed, this informationis useful for feedback to both students and faculty to improve student learning of design. Overtime

DSP is now pervasive as it is used in everything from disk drives andcell phones to automobiles and stereo equipment. The sale of special DSP microprocessorsexceeds the sale of general-purpose microprocessors by almost 10:1. However, until recently DSPwas only taught in the graduate curricula of most universities and many practicing engineers havenever been exposed to DSP. Many of these engineers now find themselves working on productsthat use DSP microprocessors. Outside of the campus environment, the DSP semiconductor

Much effort is needed in improving themathematics content to provide closer correspondence with and support of engineeringeducation. One particular aspect of modernization is increased integration of powerful andwidely available computing tools in education.

The development of these critical thinkingskills enables the engineering undergraduate to develop a broader appreciation of concernsfacing the engineering profession and the world. Global issues have been proposed as a means toprecipitate change in engineering curricula (Vanasupa et al., 2006).

From Enron toVioxx with skewed or mis-reported data, to insulation breakdowns in defibrillators [1], NewOrleans levee failures, and with microelectronics manufacturers and plastics processesexperiencing difficult solvent choices [2][3], there are many issues for engineering decisionmakers.
