Engineers of the future must not only becomfortable with technology outside of their own discipline, they must also be experienced withcollaborative problem solving tools. A spirit of cooperation, rather than a spirit of competitionwill drive innovation. As Sally Helgesen writes in The Female Advantage, Fearlessness, a thirst for combat, single-minded devotion to an

These trends are made clear in a study conducted bythe market research firm, Metra Martech, “Positive Impact of Industrial Robots onEmployment”1. Many repetitive, low-skilled jobs are already being supplanted by technology.However, a number of studies have found that in the aggregate, the robotics industry is creatingmore jobs than the number of jobs lost to robots.

During a fall term, the college required allprograms to submit and implement new assessment plans, with results analyzed and reported atthe end of the spring term. This coincided with our application for ABET accreditation of two ofour engineering technology associate degree programs. The paper outlines the steps taken alongthe way to accreditation, highlighting efforts to articulate a program assessment plan. Collegeassessment forms are referenced and sample plans

Setting the entry criteria in way that onlyencourages the very top students eliminates a large population who could contribute greatcreativity and energy to the field. Second, a B.S. in engineering provides a solidfoundation from which to pursue many other professions. For example, patent attorneysmust have engineering, science or technology degrees[4] and biomedical engineers havethe highest rate of acceptance to medical school of any major.[5] Finally, an engineeringdegree results in a well-informed citizen with the skills to make informed decisions aboutmany of the complex problems present in today’s society.

In discussions between LMU’s Presidentand industry leaders from Southern California’s high-technology organizations, the need forwell-rounded systems engineers who understand business was established [2]. As a result,the University President chartered an LMU-industry partnership for a new graduate program,entitled the Systems Engineering Leadership Program (SELP).The SELP will confer two degrees upon its graduates: an MS in Systems Engineering and anMBA.

The experience of design and designof manufacturing is of obvious benefit to the engineering and engineering technology student.
