Abstract :
As you develop the concept of a new curriculum and new pedagogy, as you try to attract and interest students in nanoscale science, large complex systems, product development, sustainability, and business realities, don´t be tempted to crowd the humanities, arts, and social sciences out of the curriculum. The integral role of these subjects in US engineering education differentiates us from much of the rest of the world. Using problem solving as a backdrop leads to insights about what it takes to move beyond engineering competence to engineering leadership.
