... As the major disciplines -- civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering -- evolved, professional societies formed and contributed to the development of codes and standards, built professional communities, and shaped engineering education. Around the middle of the 20th century, engineering education incorporated a strong foundation in the natural sciences, especially physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

... and Grand Challenges for Engineering (2008) , the Vision 2030 project of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' 2015 report on Chemical Engineering Academia–Industry Alignment: Expectations about New Graduates.1 For example, The Engineer of 2020 stressed the concept of T-shaped engineering education, which combines the rigor of a single discipline with the breadth to apply that knowledge in a broad and complex array of contexts.

... " Cox has done work on the concept of stewardship in engineering education. Using a framework developed by Golde and Walker,2 she has examined ways to generate knowledge in a field, conserve that knowledge, and use it to transform the field.

... Engineering education has become a valid and useful discipline, in and of itself, that contributes to all the other disciplines of engineering. -- Bevlee Watford (Virginia Tech and ASEE) Despite a reduction in credit hours, students have benefited from the revival of manufacturing in the United States, from hands-on experiences such as maker spaces, and from "supercurricular experiences" such as largescale engineering competitions and other multidisciplinary team-based experiences.

... 6 UNDERSTANDING MEASURES OF FACULTY IMPACT AND THE ROLE OF ENGINEERING SOCIETIES Articulating the value of engineering education and developing strong student professional chapters can help students develop in different domains, including leadership and project management. -- Darryl Dickerson (Purdue University and NAMEPA) Enhanced interactions among industry, academia, engineering societies, and government can promote inclusion and better technologies for people with disabilities. -- Maureen Linden (Georgia Tech)
