.Liberal Education in Twenty-First Century Engineering: Responses to ABET/EC/2000 Criteria
Twenty-first century engineering education must meet radically revised national
accreditation standards, known colloquially as EC2000. This book shows paths
forward for all faculty involved in the "liberal education" of engineering
undergraduates. Beginning with an exhortation for liberal education, it includes
the EC2000 criteria and their historical origin, as well
as example institutional and individual responses to these criteria-which include
topics in communication, ethics and
professional responsibility, contemporary issues, art and aesthetics, and the
integration of engineering and the humanities. The variety of curricular responses
presented indicate that the present is a formative-perhaps even revolutionary-period
in engineering education.

The LED program for the 2004 ASEE Annual Conference promises to be engaging, challenging, and informative. There are thirteen sessions either sponsored or co-sponsored by the liberal education division, with a total of 60 papers. John Krupczak, this year's LED program chair, would like to thank everyone in LED for their help in organizing and reviewing the program.
Highlights of the meeting included presentation of the Olmstead award to Kay Neeley, the naming of new division officers, and discussion of the 2004 program.
The ASEE LED newsletter is an occasional publication of the Liberal Education
division of the ASEE. If you have news, event notes, or articles that you would
like included in the next newsletter, please contact the current newsletter
