Within this debate it is generally assumed that the curriculum is the arenain potential need of reform [3]–[5]. Curriculum reform deliberations tend to operate at arelatively high level, with a central tension between “theory” (engineering and basic sciencecontent) and “practice” (professional skills, often in project type context) [6].A relatively recent focus for global curriculum discussions has been the spread of outcomes-based criteria for accreditation through the mechanism of the
