Engineering up-front includes hands-on engineering laboratories and design, the integration of the mathematical and scientific foundations with the technical topics of Engineering, and the integration/coordination of the Humanities in a parallel continuum rather than the traditional layered serial approach.

This program is student centered, addressing how we teach as well as what we teach, teaming, communications, and professional development. Emphasis is placed on an undergraduate program that is a set of interlinked parts that should work synergistically rather than a mere collection of independent courses.

In each of these, there are groups of faculty with interest and demonstrated accomplishment in the subject content and, most importantly, the Gateway philosophy, vision, and cross coalition teaming.

It is not suggested that this set is all inclusive for a full curricular program. These are to be seen as models upon which further extension may subsequently be made as well as fostering inter-institutional teaming and cooperation.
