This requires students to plan the designprocess comprising of project definition and planning, specification definition, conceptdevelopment, detail design, testing and refinement, and production.5.5 Demonstrate an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility The RFID-AD design platform is a natural place to introduce ethical as well as globalengineering issues. By working on these projects, students obtain first hand feedback from theend user. This helps students obtain a clear picture of the health and wealth of public, and todisclose promptly the factors that might endanger the end user. By working with end user, butnot the corporate industries, students have the ability to approach system design based onusability

This will be achieved by guiding studentsthrough new educational opportunities to: • build disciplinary excellence with multidisciplinary perspective, • nurture critical thinking, • develop multicultural competence, • cultivate collaboration and leadership skills, and • promote an ethic of service to the profession and the communityTo provide the necessary incentives and mechanisms for change, to-date the College has heldthree internal solicitations for proposals to transform undergraduate education providing facultyand staff with modest grants for release time and other resources. A total of 26 projects havebeen funded. The purpose of this paper is to describe our

instructional models without fully discarding them. Though this subjectwas designated to be delivered as a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) subject, the educationalapproach taken was such that the PBL delivery was only a part of a pedagogical toolbox. Themain educational thrust was one of inductive learning and teaching derived from courses suchas creative arts. Aside from PBL, the inductive teaching approach incorporated Case-Based(CBL) and Enquiry- Based learning (EBL) which provided the appropriate pedagogicalscaffolding for knowledge integration. Material technological sciences, manufacturingengineering, engineering design, issues of ethics, sustainability and environment were weavedtogether. Such educational approach was necessary if strictly academic

The new course coversfundamental concepts and information about engineering professions, ethics, engineeringeconomics, systems of units, and other topics that are included in the Introduction toEngineering courses at STC and UTPA. In addition, the course also involves CBI withhands-on activities to engage and motivate students to learn and get familiar withpractical applications in STEM fields. In this new Introduction to STEM course, 53students participated during the Summer II term in 2009. 2. Supporting STEM Pathways with CBI and Hands

System integration, human factorsengineering, computer-aided design, maintainability, and fabrication techniques are addressed.This course provides an integrative experience in support of the overarching academic programgoal, and is often interdisciplinary in nature. Students spend extensive time in projectdevelopment laboratories fabricating and refining their final products.The course learning objectives are: • Apply the Engineering Design Process to design and build creative solutions for open- ended engineering problems. • Work effectively within a multidisciplinary design team in a professional and ethical manner. • Develop and conduct experiments
