  2. ILOs • Be acquainted with the engineering profession • CDIO - ABET - Engineers 2020 • To appreciate the difference: • Engineering problem/ Science problem • Engineering and Technology • To know and distinguish engineering disciplines in general and those available at Pharos University HU121_Lect2_Definitions

  3. Engineering “The profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind” ABET Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology • www.abet.org/ HU121_Lect2_Definitions

  4. Engineer “Engineers Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate complex products and system in a team-based environment” http://www.cdio.org/ • Initiated by MIT and KTH, 2000 • Now more than 30 countries HU121_Lect2_Definitions

  5. Modern Engineer: ABET a-k Criteria Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have: • an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering • an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data • an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs • an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams • an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility • an ability to communicate effectively • the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context • a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning • a knowledge of contemporary issues • an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
