Daring June 6-9, 1994, 65 participants, representing engineering faculty, engineering education

‘coalitions, engineering societies, industry, and students, met The purpose of their meeting was

to explore issues important to the continuing development of high quality engineering curricula Which are relevant to the needs of our society as it moves into the twenty-first century During the three days, participants worked in groups representative of the various constituencies (0 develop recommendations that will provide a basis for future activities and projects designed to improve the quality of undergraduate engineering education Through their joint efforts, and with expanded support from NSF and others, academia and industry can work together to achieve comprehensive reform of undergraduate engineering education The reform of undergraduate engineering education will better prepare graduating engineers for entering a varity of professions and provide expanded access to the contextual richness of engincering coursework for aon-majors,

Held June 6-9, 1994, the workshop developed recommendations for improving the ability of engineering education to better meet the needs of the twenty-first century The 65 participants represented engincering faculty, engineering education coalitions, engineering societies, industry, and students,

‘Workshop participants were organized info four working groups: students, faculty, curricula, and experiential leaming Each participant was assigned to two working groups to assure

‘maximum interaction and communication,

(On behalf of the members of the planning comunite, the chairs and scribes of the working

‘soups, and all other participants, { submit this report to NSE in the spirit of cooperation, collaboration, and optimism for the future of engineering education I encourage NSF, in cooperation with other federal agencies, academia, engineering societies, and industry to take a leadership role in implementing the recommendations in the report

(On behalf of all participants in the workshop, I wish to extend thanks to Drs Norman Fortenberry, Don Kirk, Chalmers Sechrist, and Jack Weintraub of the Division of Undergraduate Favcation at NSF Your continued commitment to engineering edueation and your recognition

of the potentially central role of engineering edocation to comprehensive reform of undergraduate education, particularly the preparation of future teachers, i applauded
