engineeringeducation curriculum.IntroductionAs societies rapidly advance, and populations grow to unprecedented levels, engineers are facedwith solving increasingly complex problems of a magnitude not previously seen. Solving theseproblems will require more than just the technical and analytical abilities that have traditionallybeen taught in engineering undergraduate programs. Rather, engineers of the future will berequired to possess key non-technical attributes which enable them to also understand andnavigate social, political, economic, cultural, environmental, and ethical aspects of the technicalprojects on which they are working [1]. Engineering educators must meet the challenge ofproviding their students with professional attributes and essential

Programmes (AHEP) requires academic programs to includenon-technical competencies such as working with information ambiguity, communication,innovation, project management, teamwork, and ethics (AHEP, 2014). The American Society ofEngineering Education (ASEE), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and theNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) want graduates from engineering programs to possessboth technical and non-technical skills (Dukhan and Rayess, 2014). A study of engineeringgraduates’ perspectives on the importance of various ABET technical and non-technicalcompetencies, found the non-technical skills of working in teams, data analysis, problem solving,and communication were critical to graduates’ professional success (Passow, 2012

responsibility is the desire to dosomething to meet societal needs. Vanzdoort discusses the micro levels of social responsibilitysuch as ethical codes for engineers and macro levels of social responsibility such as societaldecisions about technology. He states that knowledge of the social aspects of engineering isnecessary because of the environment in which engineers work [1]. Research also suggests thatthere is a need for global competence in the engineering profession. Lohmann, Rollins, and Hoeyresearched the importance of learning about cultures and issues worldwide [2]. Their studyconcluded that international study is key to becoming a successful global engineer.

thatwould directly impact the community and foster students’ appreciation for the relationshipbetween engineering and social responsibility.Fostering students’ “Base Skills,” a facet of the professional development realm related tosocially responsible engineering, as defined by Canney and Bielefeldt,1 aligns with the project’sconnection between technical abilities and resultant societal benefits. This connection is viewedas imperative for developing future engineers’ attitudes towards human-centered design and theirroles in society.2,3 Similarly, ABET calls for holistic skillsets that encompass both technicalskills and “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility,” while the NationalAcademy of Engineering has emphasized the

How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered.
