1 Can We Engineer The Perfect Engineer? Susan Hassler Editor-in-Chief IEEE Spectrum Magazine 19 June 2004
2 What Are the Characteristics of a 21 st Century Engineer? US National Science Foundation They need to know about terascale, nanoscale, complexity, cognition, and holism. They need to be astute makers, trusted innovators, agents of change, master integrators, enterprise enablers, technology stewards, and knowledge handlers. They will need more than first-rate technical and scientific skills. They need to embrace complex systems and the issues they present, and reach the right decisions about how huge amounts of time, money, people, knowledge, and technology are tasked to a common end.
3 What Are the Characteristics of a 21 st Century Engineer? The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 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 or process to meet desired needs; an ability to function on multidisciplinary 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/societal context; a recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in lifelong learning; an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
4 What Are the Characteristics of a 21 st Century Engineer? ASEE Engineering Deans Council and the National Research Council Study, Engineering Education, Designing an Adaptive System (1995) Leadership (an ability to develop and demonstrate it); An understanding and appreciation of diversity and pluralism; A commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement; Experience in undergraduate research and engineering practice.

19 Does your current job title or job description contain the words electrical engineer? Yes 23.4% NO 76.6% 19
20 Most Job Titles Are About Managing, Directing, Leading Product Manager/Program Manager Senior Advisory Engineer Analysis Director of Energy Markets President Sr. Principal Systems Engineer University Lecturer Customer Engineering Engineer Technology Programs Director Director Environmental Affairs Director, Intelligent Technologies Chief Scientist Director New Business Development Senior Research Engineer Software Engineer/Developer Deputy Director Principal Consultant Distinguished Technologist Director of IT Services Business Development Manager Distribution Design Engineer Executive Vice President Professor and Dean VP, Strategic Development
21 More Than One Type of Perfect Engineer? Most engineers/technology professional will not end up being intellectuals or inventors There is a disconnect between what is emphasized and what most engineers end up doing rank and file and students don t see this (IEEE Fellows saw things differently) College is too late, teaching engineers to be good multicultural citizens and ethical people begins in grammar school (FIRST) Diversifying the student body is not just a good thing to do it is the smart thing to do. Should undergraduate engineering be broadened (followed by graduate specialty training (as in law/medicine)? 21
22 A Measure of Excellence Too often universities define academic excellence in terms of the things they provide for students. They refer to award-winning faculty, to the number of volumes in their libraries, to faculty/student ratios or to the dollars they devote to the academic mission. These and other factors are certainly indications of how serious universities are in creating an excellent academic environment. However, the real measure of academic excellence can be found in a university s alumni and how they live their lives. A university that is academically excellent produces graduates who are intellectually capable and curious, who are humane and respectful of other people, who are people of integrity and character, and who succeed not only in elevating their own lives but also the lives of those around them William Gordon, Wake Forest College Provost
