At various times, the principals of CNE have recorded their
perspectives on engineering education. We offer them here
for your reading pleasure.
- The New Engineer:
An Interview with Dr Denning
- In March 1994 Michael Hieb and Nina Kaull interviewed Peter

universities in radically new directions that will affect
curriculum, teaching, research, professional education, and even
our theory of knowledge. (Needs Adobe Acrobat reader.)
