fundamental framework for the students to understand, appreciate, and relate the informationobtained in the following years of study. The course should also promote and develop the firstlevels of capability.This is consistent with a tenant in educational psychology, which states that knowledge isconstructed and incremental. Therefore, students must be educated with the expectation theenvironment will change and new methods and technologies available. This approach is directlytransferrable to the engineering profession. Design is what engineers do on a daily basis and“engages both the intellect and the imagination of the designer”.3 Engineers must not only becompetent in their technical knowledge but must more importantly be capable to apply

The entire classimplementation of experimental investigation (i.e., determination of engineering properties of Page 23.780.7recycled materials) was considerably streamlined from a course administration standpoint ascompared to open-ended geotechnical experiments. This method is recommended for smallerscale pedagogical interventions. Proper planning for alternative modes of presentation canprovide the greatest benefits and reduce student frustration with new technologies.

In this paper authors will discuss on theengineering focus group at Kentucky’s Governors Scholars Program and discuss about themanufacturing curriculum and industry engagement of the program. More than half of theprogram activities are through manufacturing industry engagement.

In this paper, we describe the salient features of AME5740 Designing for Open Innovation and our initial findings from the study. 1 Frame of reference With increasing globalization and 21st century trends such as the commoditization of technology, individuals are required to continuously refresh and adapt their competencies and keep their knowledge current. It is well documented that the changing environment and the diverse learning needs of individuals demand a change in the existing paradigm of engineering education. What is needed is a more flexible, learner-centric paradigm
