| Summary: | Several reports and papers of the past decade suggesting paradigm shifts in engineering education are
shown to reveal a common theme, engineering is an integrative process and thus engineering education,
particularly at the baccalaureate level, should be designed toward that end. A change in intellectual culture, the
roots of contemporary collegiate education currently are traced to their origin and attention is given to
discussing the current emphasis on turning a course-focused education compared to a more holistic approach in
which process and knowledge are woven throughout the curriculum. A system for baccalaureate engineering
education is presented in terms of taxonomy of intellectual components connected holistically with a core focus
on developing human potential, as opposed to the present system in which students are passed serially through
course filters |
