veryearly age, we are taught to break apart problems, to fragment the world. This apparently makescomplex tasks and subjects more manageable; but we pay a hidden, enormous price. We can nolonger see the consequences of our actions; we lose our intrinsic sense of connection to a largerwhole. When we try to ‘see the big picture,’ we try to reassemble the fragments in our minds, tolist and organize all the pieces.” (p.3).6The Technology, Science, Mathematics Integration Project, with support from the NationalScience Foundation, developed a set of technology activities called the Technology, Science,Mathematics Connection Activities.7 They are designed to correlate planning and classroominstruction among the three disciplines.

Post-implementation analysis and evaluation.Despite these six steps, engineering economy courses tend to narrowly focus on Steps 4 and partof 5. That is, students are provided with cash flows and are taught to perform an evaluation(present worth, internal rate of return, etc.), selecting the best alternative from the given choices.Some texts provide methods in which to develop cash flows, however, the estimation means arequite simplified.It is argued here that engineering economy is a vital part of a decision process and thus should betaught in this context.

The primary goal ofthis course is to expose freshmen engineering students to multidisciplinary projects that teachengineering principles using the theme of engineering measurements in both laboratory and real-world settings. This concept is an inversion of the traditional laboratory curriculum paradigm.The current situation is that freshman programs focus either on a design project or discipline-specific experiments that may not be cohesively integrated. In real-world settings engineers workin multidisciplinary teams on a variety of complex problems. The fundamental principles ofmeasurement and their application are crucial to the solution of these

Extension assignments encourage the student toexamine and expand upon the in-class presentation using previously learned material. If theassignment can be personalized by the student, i.e. “find an application and describe it for thenext class”, the lesson is more quickly and deeply learned. These assignments are difficult toachieve on a daily or weekly. Perhaps a lab exercise can be the expanded into the backgroundand then into another application. The research report or project is another use of this method.Unfortunately, this use is usually reserved for graduates or upper level under graduates.

As a result, the engineering profession has undergone a transformationthat has fundamentally reshaped the way engineers work and how we evaluate thesuccess of engineering projects and engineering education. While these developmentsmay seem overwhelming, they must be viewed as an opportunity to define who we areand how we will educate the next generation of Electrical, Electronics, Communications,and Computer engineers. Electrical Engineering departments must answer the questions“what should we be?” and “ what should we teach?". As we search for these answers wealso should seek to develop philosophies, teaching methods and curricula that will enablethe next

Ofkey importance to the completion of such a project is the bringing together of the key players thathave a commitment to the principles of international partnerships and the willingness and ability tofollow through with the process. If the process were easy, there would be many more examplesof such programs in existence today.
