Development of the new Mechanical Engineering program has been described in detail, in reference to two recent reports of the National Academy of Engineering, commonly known as “The Engineer of 2020”. Various aspects of a curriculum design, as well as program implementation, are discussed in the context of the NAE findings and recommendations with regard to future engineering education. Presented first is a brief overview of published NAE reports, their findings and relevant recommendations. The second part presents the new Mechanical Engineering program and discusses the relevant impact of “The Engineer of 2020” on program objectives, particularly as it relates to curricular requirements. In addition, some aspects of the recruitment implementation plan are also discussed in the paper. Lessons learned from the entire process conclude the paper.
