Abstract :
It is argued that faculty and deans need to change curricula at both the undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare engineering graduates with the skills and knowledge to practice concurrent engineering. The author points out the knowledge and skills needed to work in a concurrent engineering environment. He discusses changes that can be made to engineering programs and recommends a curriculum for a graduate degree in manufacturing engineering. This curriculum is modeled after the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) recommended structure for MBA programs
