In "Engineering and Art," our 2000 ASEE presentation in St. Louis, we noted that the non-technical Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) 2000 "a-k" requirements appeared to describe more than the typical technical skills necessary for students to become competent engineering professionals. We suggested that these requirements described many of the characteristics of a well-balanced, productive, and creative individual, rather than simply those of a highly technically educated individual. These characteristics include the following: 1) good communication skills, oral and written (ABET "g") 2) the ability to work well with a variety of individuals (ABET "d") 3) a sense of values (ABET "f") 4) a variety of educational experiences and training to understand the interdependence among disciplines (ABET "h") 5) the desire and ability to continue to educate oneself (ABET "i") 6) a knowledge of contemporary issues (ABET "j")
