N2 - The "new workplace" for engineering is increasingly at the interface of three environments: the Virtual environment, in which designs can be created and explored, with activities that range from interaction via the Internet to 3-D visualization and immersion in alternative designs of engineered systems; the Product Realization environment, in which physical embodiments of designs can be produced and evaluated; and the Human environment, in which people work together in face-to-face and virtual teams, the latter often internationally dispersed, to design and implement products and processes. Functioning at the interface of these environments is a challenge that must be met by engineering graduates. In this paper we discuss how Stevens is addressing this and also considers issues concerning virtual students teams.
