Four internationally–renowned universities — Chalmers University of Technology, Linköping University, and the Royal Institute of Technology, of Sweden; and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US — developed a stakeholder survey that may be used by any engineering school to benchmark curricula for teaching of personal, interpersonal and system building skills. The results of the benchmark survey indicate that a consistent and deliberately designed curriculum in this area could demand no additional resources, yet provide a much more effective education for the students. The survey gives useful indications of how to begin such a redesign process. This paper was published in The International Journal of Engineering Education, Vol. 21 No. 1 (2005).
