In engineering education these traditionally includethe understanding and mastering knowledge and skills of the subject matter, understandingthe context of the subject within professional engineering discourse, development ofcommunication skills, instilling skills in teamwork, developing autonomous and reflectivepractitioner with social awareness of the impact of engineering practice, and instilling skillsfor life-long learning.

Even though ABET has revamped its own structures toinclude and actively involve minorities in the accreditation process, they have to go a littlefurther. In view of the power and respect bestowed in ABET by Engineering Colleges, ABETmust include diversity as part of the core requirements for accreditation.NSF does require diversity as one of the broader impacts of NSF-sponsored research.

Students were then encouraged touse this model to inform their problem solving. For creating, students were given the opportunityto generate 3D models based on textbook examples, indicate types of stresses and displaydeformed shapes.

As they progress in school, the models become more involved, as does themathematics. By the time a student graduates and enters engineering practice, they should beexperts in, or at the very least comfortable with, the development of mathematical models andcapable of solving many physical problems.
