The document discusses how digital literacy skills are an important prerequisite for engineers in the 21st century. It argues that digital literacy, which includes skills like collaboration using tools like blogs and wikis, must be taught as part of the engineering curriculum to promote creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Examples of how digital literacy can be developed include using blogs for self-reflection, wikis for collaborative work, and forums for sharing information. Faculty need to be immersed in digital literacy skills as well to help develop these competencies in students through project-based and active learning.
