In addition to robotics, Lai-Yuen1 also describes the use of a virtual assembly ofLEGO® blocks to teach students concepts in micro-manufacturing. Kelley7 describes a similarapproach in which virtual LEGO® blocks are used to teach and implement Product DataManagement (PDM) techniques. Pasek et al.8 have developed automation to assemble LEGO®blocks as part of a CIM driven LEGO® Factory. This utilizes a virtual assembly of LEGO®blocks as input to process planning that sequences assembly of the LEGO® model in the factory.While these cases involve students creating virtual LEGO® assemblies, none of them include

discussions were two curriculum models proposed as alternatives to“traditional” engineering and engineering technology education degree plans. These aredescribed below as option 1 and option 2. Option 1: Two-Year Pre-Degree Requirement When properly designed and executed, the first two years of accredited, 4-year B.S. degrees in ET disciplines can serve as the pre-degree requirement for engineering-bound students. We submit then that the template for a 2-year, University-level, pre-engineering program is already in place in at least 100 US Universities. If executed, it is envisioned that a new first professional engineering degree can be defined whereby: 1. All engineering-profession-bound students would first complete 2 years completing E and ET

timeno technique has been demonstrated to be superior. The most unpopular approach with thestudents, but the one that has the highest fidelity with the real world, has been the assignment ofteams by the instructor. The “best” results in our program have been a balance of instructorassignment and self selection through common interest in a specific project. Students select andprioritize the project topics that they prefer and the instructor then matches and forms teamsbased on that selection. In the coming classes, the authors are planning to use the “Teammaker”interview survey provided in the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectivenesstool (CATME) to assist in forming team based on project preference.

Additionally,the Environmental Policy Act 1 (NEPA), requires governmental agencies to perform apublic scoping process that includes making plans available for public review, sponsoringdedicated time for public comment, and holding at least one public meeting. As such,engineering professionals who work for both government agencies and private firms areresponsible for facilitating and participating in public meetings at some point during theircareer. To prepare for this eventuality, civil engineers must be able to facilitate effective,productive public meetings. The research and curriculum development presented in thispaper is a first step to preparing new engineers for this important task
