Abstract
For over 100 years studies have consistently recommended that the engineering curriculum should stress underlying principles and have a considerable range of cultural studies. In addition, today, some authorities believe that the development of critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills are vital for and must be developed in the engineering student. In this regard, the findings of this study suggest that students prefer the use of thought-provoking questions and discussion in the classroom. They also appreciate the opportunity for student input, like to be challenged by the subject matter, and enjoy group interaction. Undergraduates, in particular, perceive that working in groups is an excellent learning experience. They also believe that the development of communication skills will be a benefit for them in their future endeavors. Students, therefore, appear to have accepted that critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills are important aspects of the curriculum.
