First, a number of professors in the Valparaiso UniversityCollege of Engineering have noticed improvements in attitude and work ethic among thestudents taking the class. Second, these students have bonded as friends based upon this longershared experience. Finally, they have taken on an almost evangelical approach to campaigningfor the continuation of the semester-long version of Creativity and Innovation in the EngineeringDesign Process. These sentiments come through in a number of the comments made by thestudents in the course evaluation (see Table 3).Table 3. Student feedback on semester-long course

They primarily perceived professionals in STEM fields tohave strong mental/academic skills and attributes such as good time management skills, problemsolving skills, and work ethic. From these responses, only two of six respondents listedcommonalities between teaching and STEM (leadership and intelligence). All respondantsindicated that they did not have internship or coop experiences in their current STEM fields.Phase 2: Exploratory Survey In Spring 2015, 25 surveys were completed by applicants (4 paper and 21 electronic),which was a 46% response rate of all applicants to the program.

In general, the natural subjectivity of the DMs in addition to criteria notaccounted for in the algorithm, such as the work ethic of students, would result in deviationsbetween the objective automatic assignment and the manual assignment. Additionally, thisalgorithm was never designed to generate a finalized output. Instead, it was develop to serve as aplatform to improve the efficiency of the assignment process.

Importantly, this material can be presented with minimal directreference to the GC (in this stage).Stage 5: Application of Course Content to the Challenge. The key connection between the GCmaterial (Stages 1-3) and the technical material (Stage 4) comes as the students complete aproblem-solving exercise. Most such exercises will involve hands-on analysis or simulation ofdata relevant to the GC, followed by reflection on ethical or practical issues raised by the data.For example, the students might be given data related to water quality measures from onelocation, analyze that data to

One such workshop, for example, is “Engineering Engineering Education:A Catalyst for Change”. (12) The workshop helps the faculty member gain an ability to redesignhis/her courses such that students become more active, find effective ways to engage students ininteracting with each other, develop a better understanding of teamwork and how it works best,and learn about new assessment tools especially assessing team performance. At anotherteaching workshop "ExCEEd Teaching Workshop" a faculty member can gain skills that allowhim/her to improve ways of communicating with students
students. The pilot course focused on sustainable transportation and livable streets,transportation planning and site design for sustainable transportation, sustainability ratingsystems for neighborhoods and infrastructure, brownfield/greyfield redevelopment options, andsustainability and ethics. The objective was to educate the future engineering workforce aboutthe basic principles for sustainable design and evaluation methods, in an effort to raise awarenessand develop expertise on sustainable design options and associated benefits.IntroductionIn October of 2009, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) adopted the followingdefinition of sustainability: “A set of environmental, economic and social conditions in which allof society has the

productcriteria to produce superior products. An approach known as, triple bottom-line approachproposes that reliable product design includes supply chain mechanism, consisting of economics,green technology, and ethics. The products and/or services are developed to be more sustainablein a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) context. This is interpreted as achieving an optimum balancebetween environmental protection, social equity and economic prosperity, while still meetingtraditional product requirements, e.g. quality, market, technical and cost issues, etc.Figure 1 Business Impact of Sustainable Product (Source: Four Winds Research (copyright2012)The three levels of factors that greatly influence sustainable product design i.

This workshop provided a means for young HRIresearchers to present their current research and provide students with the opportunity to presentwhat they feel are challenges to a career in HRI. This allowed for the formation of collaborativerelationships across disciplines and
solutions, feasibility considerations and detailed system descriptions. Further, it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints such as: economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact. One of the major drivers of mapping the learning objectives for design across the curriculum was the development in the first semester of the Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course. The faculty involved in developing the course began comparing the items being taught in the EPICS I cornerstone course to those expected in the Senior Design capstone course. These end-‐caps, plus feedback from the department
