learning. The outcomes-based approach requires ashift from a teacher centered pedagogical approach to a student-centered approach. Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery. This slow adoption is apparent notwithstandingthe large body of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of student-centered approaches.This resistance to active learning can also be noted in both engineering educators andengineering students
Hopkins University Whiting School’sEngineering Management & Leadership Course Complements Senior DesignIntroduction According to the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), STEMgraduates must be “prepared with the knowledge, skills and aptitudes to meet workforcedemand” [1]. ABET adopted Engineering Criteria 2000, updated several times since, thatfocused on what students learn rather than what programs teach. The new framework includedskills such as “critical thinking, communication and teamwork” [1]. The guidelines areinfluenced strongly by industry workforce needs as hiring managers turn to ABET-accreditedprograms because they know graduates will have certain skills based on student outcomes” [1]. To prepare
practice identifieda gap in known research associated with how engineering disciplines align with the practice ofFCA’s. An emphasis of this study was how FCA’s can be utilized as a pedagogical tool to representarchitectural, civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, and technological engineering disciplines.Recommendations for facility engineering practice and education is presented for application toengineering disciplines within academia. Globally, this is the first research attempt to linkengineering education and management to the practice of facility engineering. This research canbe used by facility managers, engineering service providers and engineering educators alike tofoster transparency with facility engineering practice, FCA
work in progress paper describes a new program that integrates business and engineeringcurriculum. Investments in science, mathematics, and engineering education have increased as amatter of national economic competitiveness [1]. Engineering and business are increasinglyconnected in today’s technological and global workplace and there is a need for graduates whosecompetencies span these fields [2]. Educators have been developing approaches that linkbusiness and engineering curriculum within traditional classes [ 3,4] as well as programs thatprovide minors and degrees for students crossing traditional disciplinary boundaries of businessand engineering [6-8]. Blended engineering and business baccalaureate programs have beendeveloped by at least
