Abstract
Modern engineering education sits at the intersection of diverse, complex and sometimes competing voices about the general need for more engineers and what skills those engineers should possess. Many are calling for the education of holistic engineers in order to address complex social issues being faced today (National Academy of Engineering, 2004; ABET, 2008; American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008).
