TheNDRP project involved working with a school district to provide EiE PD for teachers, gatherstudent and teacher data during the school year, and offer follow-up PD sessions to get teacherfeedback after instruction. HCPS was an eligible district and a natural choice for the first authorgiven the work that had already begun with the Workforce One Maryland Grant. A formalHCPS-EiE-TU partnership emerged, in which EiE provided additional support for PD, materials,curriculum, and the author’s time. The NDRP project was critically important in enabling the SySTEmic Project to haveenough funding to complete

Over the past 18 years, more than 700 educators and 60,000 students havebeen impacted by the program, which features integration of engineering designchallenges into other disciplines of learning from literature to science and mathematics toart. For the past 12 years, DTEACh has focused on teaching automation and controlconcepts with robotics as the medium. This paper describes an evaluation of recentmodifications to the institute implementation and advancements in the designmethodology. In particular, changes to the institute feature: (1) contextualization of thedesign problems within the 21st Century Engineering Grand Challenges; and (2)increased focus on the pedagogy of design-based teaching and learning. These changeswere implemented in

The two most widely used HardwareDescription Languages in industry are VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit HardwareDescription Language) and Verilog (Verifying Logic). Although most traditional electrical andcomputer engineering programs have updated their curriculum to include topics in hardwaredescription language and programmable logic design (FPGA/CPLD), two-year and four-yearelectrical engineering technology programs have fallen behind and are moving slowly in updatingtheir curriculum. To effectively meet the next generation’s workforce needs, the electrical andcomputer engineering technology curriculum must be current, relevant, and teach technology thatis widely used in industry.

engineering is an emerging area that is inherentlymultidisciplinary [2-4].There is a need to better understand how complex systems can achieve both short-termcontinuity and long-term ecological integrity. As we move to a more carbon-constrained world,businesses will ultimately have to meet customer needs in a way that generates fewer carbonemissions. Therefore, it is essential to bridge current engineering education to sustainableproduct design, manufacturing, and processes, which requires new curriculum development,research, and manufacturing experiences, as presented in this paper.This paper presents the approach used at our institution to integrate sustainability engineeringcontent into the engineering curriculum at our university and to
