These three core competencies are also engineeringeducational objectives as dictated by ABET criteria21. Increasing the design component in theundergraduate curriculum better prepares graduates for engineering practice, the end result being a well-rounded engineer. Traditional engineering courses provided graduates with little, if any, experience inengineering application.
