Abstract
Engineering Education demands three important attributes the knowledge, skills, and attitude that the next generation engineers should possess, intern connecting to the Society. To make them Globally Competitive and efficient graduates , the next generation engineers should possess 10 top skills i.e. solving complex Engineering Problems, Critical Thinking, Creativity, People Management, Coordinating with Others, Emotional Intelligence, Judgment and Decision Making, Service Orientation, Negotiation and Cognitive Flexibility. To address these challenges the institution has been introduced "Introduction to Engineering" for freshmen in the engineering curriculum. In this paper, the authors present a case study of the course "Introduction to Engineering" which helps the students of the first year in Solving Engineering problems which include solving society problems by developing necessary modules. This course helps them to progress in the future courses to fulfill the prerequisite of few courses in the higher semester of engineering.
