Abstract
The engineering environment of the 21st century will require new engineers to handle ambiguity and chaos, to understand the design/process/manufacture path for a product, to balance independence and teamwork, and to combine the techno-scientific base with a societal context. This paper summarizes some of the specific activities and experiments currently underway at universities in the United States to provide new educational models
