Professional societies in technology andengineering fields generally conduct an unconference in their annual meetings to receive“holistic” views on problems in the field in order to develop research questions and grandchallenges. The concept of unconference motivated us to develop an active-learning techniquecalled UnLecture, to integrate real-world experiences into engineering classrooms.Undergraduate engineering students at the University of Cincinnati (UC) are required toparticipate in a mandatory cooperative education (co-op) program in which students supplementtheir

." Page 24.1391.3In terms of integrating engineering, math texts consistently fall short by only including "plug andchug" problems that only utilize a formula with little to no critical thinking involved. In an NSFfunded study, the investigators analyzed several textbooks to find instances of problems with anengineering context. Of the surveyed Algebra and Geometry texts, problems were not identifiedas engineering problems12. With the problems unlabeled or mislabeled, it is likely that studentswill not make the connection. The literature suggests that mathematics textbooks have beenpicked apart to find various essential components such as engineering. The inclusion of math hasalready been addressed in science textbooks considering the high

The chemical engineering curriculum is often under scrutiny from administrationto reduce the number of credits and number of prerequisite service courses taught by otherdepartments.

In these data, we found that there was a set of courses taken by most biomedicalengineering students that could be regarded as a core of material. Recently, we have asked howthe findings of that work may have changed. Without the resources of the VaNTH ERC, wewere not able to undertake such a complete study again. Instead, to begin to assess the stabilityand uniformity of the curriculum, we have evaluated 16 programs, eight that were first accreditedbetween 1982 and 1987, and were therefore in our previous accredited sample, and eight

Accordingly, Savery [16] defines “PBL as an instructional learner-centered approach that empowers learners to conduct research, integrate theory and practice,and apply knowledge and skills to develop a viable solution to a defined problem. Critical tothe success of the approach is the selection of ill-structured problems (often interdisciplinary)and a tutor who guides the learning process and conducts a through debriefing at theconclusion of the learning experience”.Evolution of the courseAt Texas State University, a course in Concrete Problems

This includes determining proper sequencing of engineeringdesign activities and establishing what types of engineering design problems high schoolstudents are able to work or solve. This paper will attempt to ameliorate some of these issues bypromulgating a conceptual framework for introducing engineering design experiences to highschool students. We will address the following areas in regards to engineering design in highschool settings: situating engineering design in the curriculum, sequencing the engineeringdesign experience, selecting
