最新技术所固有的复杂性以及与这些技术有关的社会需求和观点的多样性和多样性所固有的复杂性要求对本科工程教育采取一种新的方法。我们认为，这一新方法需要从线性简约主义思维模式向非线性整体思维模式的典范转变。为了实现本科工程教育的这一转变，我们提出了新的背景、新的内容和新的教学方法，以加强背景和内容。后者包括实践的概念，这是一套个人、团体和专业实践，其目标是内化知识、增强自我意识并体现新的综合工程文化的价值。我们相信，通过更有效地利用教唆人文和伦理的要求，我们可以在正常的四年制课程的约束下实施本文所倡导的方案。
The complexity inherent in the newest technologies as well as the complexity inherent in the multiplicity and diversity of societal needs and perspectives in relation to those technologies calls for a new approach to undergraduate engineering education. We believe this new approach requires a paradigmatic shift from a linear reductionist mindset to a nonlinear holistic mindset. To accomplish such a shift in undergraduate engineering education we propose a new context, new content and new pedagogy to reinforce the context and content. The latter includes the concept of praxis, a set of personal, group and professional practices, which have the goals of internalizing knowledge, enhancing self-awareness and embodying the values of a new integrated culture of engineering. We believe that the program advocated in this paper can be implemented within the constraints of the normal 4 year curriculum by utilizing the ABET humanities and ethics requirements more effectively
