4modification. To give the reader a better understanding of the stakeholders in this study, thefollowing section outlines our research context.Research ContextWe are a 4-year university in the Southwest United States with an enrollment of approximately1,600 undergraduate students. The most popular degree programs at this university areAeronautical Science, Aerospace Engineering, and other types of engineering—ComputerEngineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The College of Engineeringhouses a college dean, an associate dean, 25 full-time faculty, 3 adjunct faculty, 5 staff members,and approximately 500 engineering majors. These students typically take courses such as“Engineering Materials Science with Laboratory,” “Solid

, government, and national laboratories is a must. The proposal solicitation lists the following stated activities and specific areas of interest: “The extent of integration of sustainability into the engineering curricula at institutions of higher education in the United States may be identified by several key activities and indicators including but not limited to: (1) curricula development activities such as new core courses or electives or amending existing courses to include sustainability themes; (2) centers and institutes on campus related to sustainability; (3) conferences related to sustainability developed and hosted by faculty, departments, or engineering schools; (4) institutional support and funding for research relating engineering

ethical education is that many valuable endeavors can be started andimplemented in numerous areas of STEM and general education by informing all areas ofthe campus higher education community. The partnership programs can consist of threesegments: classroom/laboratory using a number of hands-on activities; follow upactivities at the middle school/junior high school level in science talent expositions; andreinforcing these ethical principles in summer institutes, and freshman orientations inengineering with concepts of creative thinking. In this paper we will discuss typical casesof above and describe proactive approaches using independent research fields, nowhighlighting potential risks and achieved goals. It is aimed to deduce how these goals

include plenty of graphics and written-out material. For the tactile learners it is important to include laboratory exercises and hands-on projects that reinforce the material. Fortunately, our curriculum is strongly project-based and includes several hands-on projects that back up theory. Page 13.1013.14 2. The estimated ability to concentrate on a problem for 30 minutes or more is encouraging in the light of comments about “generation Y” having a very limited attention span. Thirty minutes should be adequate to set up most homework problems and to solve many textbook problems. Although students may be
