There are several initiatives to promote the sustainability of engineered systemsand energy efficiency, while still improving the quality of life, looms more immediate. Not onlyaccreditation boards and professional organizations but many major corporations are concernedwith sustainable development to reduce costs and liabilities and to create products that helpimprove the quality of life here and abroad. One of the steps in developing the curriculum was toassess the availability of educational and training programs available to students. It was foundthat not too many institutes were offering courses and/or training

Offering a single Bachelor of Science degree in engineering without discipline-specific majors or concentrations, the goal is to train and produce engineering versatilists, a termpopularized by Friedman [3], who can work in cross-disciplinary environments. At the heart of ourprogram is the six-course engineering design sequence that provides instruction on design theory(thinking, process, methods, tools, etc.), sustainability, ethics, team management, and technicalcommunication (both oral and written), while incorporating elements of engineering science andanalysis. Students apply design instruction in the context of two projects during the six-coursesequence—a cornerstone project spanning

Forlarger classes, the students can be assigned to small groups using the class exercise as aninstrument leading to group projects. Woods and Howard [7] effectively used class exercises forInformation Technology students to study ethical issues. Day and Foley [8] used class timeexclusively for exercises, having their students prepare for class with materials provided online.Bishop and Verleger [9] presented a comprehensive survey of the research that reviewed differentways of using class exercises in the classroom, often referred to as the "flipped classroom."Frydenberg [10] primarily used hands-on exercises to foster student understanding in dataanalytics

A lot was just making it up, trying it out, and seeing what worked and what did not work.” (Hayley)Richard and Hayley’s ability to engage led them to learn new ideas and perspectives on how todesign.Invested & CommittedOur framework also highlights invested and committed student designers. In the context of ourframework, this category captures personal commitment to social justice and the sustainability ofthe design and processes. At the novice sophistication level, a student approaches design as asingular task without intention to apply what has been learned to a new situation. An awarestudent has a developing sense of social responsibility and ethics. They begin to explore theimpact of the design in the social

can see this worked out in Kallenberg’s [22] approach tothe teaching of ethics to engineering students, and we can also see that by substation of theengineering examples it is a more general application of design as knowledge. As both Kallenburgand Koen point out in any area of thought and practice that is ‘messy’ heuristics are valuable.Exercise 3. Student activity in relation to teaching decision making and its outcomesI had neither of these things in mind when I asked my students to design and implement a lesson toevaluate the merits of Wales and Stager’s design/problem solving heuristic for teaching decisionmaking. This heuristic was widely discussed by engineering educators in the nineteen seventies (Eckand Wilhelm, 1979 [23]; Heywood[24

Details of the individual experiential learning activities andthe resulting outcomes are presented and discussed.1. IntroductionExperience shows that when students are engaged in activities that integrate both cognitive andsensory systems, they are more likely to maintain focus and have better retention of the subjectpresented.

Topics in this course include Unix; representation ofinteger, floating point, and character data; declarations; loops and conditionals; functions andparameter passing; searching and sorting; structured data types; and pointers. The students usedIaaS to implement one of the three programming assignments during the course.The learning objectives for this class are as follows: 1. To demonstrate understanding of the basic problem solving process of implementing a computer program to solve a problem. 2. To write and run simple computer programs using C 3. To appreciate
its complications. Students participating in thesummer program were supported by two different mechanisms: 1) The National ScienceFoundation (NSF) REU program (EEC-1157041, EEC-0852048, and EEC-0552896) whichprimarily supports students from off-campus. 2) Institutional funding that only supportedstudents from within the institution. All students were paired with an engineering faculty member from the host institution.Over the 10 weeks they performed an engineering research project focused on the study ortreatment of diabetes or its complications. In addition to research activities, undergraduates tookpart in ethics training, weekly seminars and a K-12 outreach activity. While the activities werethe same for students in both programs
instructor focus on students learning as opposed to presenting material. 2. In ethically responsible ways, instructors share decision making about learning with students. Teachers control less, but students are involved more. 3. Content is used to build a knowledge base, to develop learning skills and to foster learner self-awareness of their abilities. Teaching approaches account for students’ learning modes and strategies. 4. Instructors and students, together, create learning environments that motivate students to accept responsibility for learning. 5. Assessment activities are used to promote learning and to develop self and peer assessment skills, not to evaluate performance primarily. In a recent meta
