the undergraduate level. Through the years, there have been several projects aimedat creating case study modules for teaching. Most recently, the Software Development CaseStudy [8] project developed a set of case studies that can be used across the software engineeringcurriculum based upon the digital home. However, while testing materials were part of theproject, the materials were not focused specifically on verification and validation.A later NSF project, Collaborative Education: Building a Skilled Software Verification andValidation User Community [9], focused on developing active learning exercises for softwareengineering. This paper provides initial feedback on the usage of one such activity in a softwareengineering program.About the

As such, it isbeing developed by faculty within and outside GE.1st Year: User-Centered DesignOne major challenge that engineers universally face is the disconnect of their work from itsusers. In this first year class, we stress that designs cannot be based simply on the designers’ ownunderstanding, and we emphasize the need to develop empathy for users, who may have differentassumptions and experiences. In an effort to better integrate social justice into engineering, thiscourse aims to help students understand their own privileges, which we achieve throughreflection journals, activities such as a trip to a local museum with an exhibit on race, andclassroom discussion.

Capstone team projects which have become a standard part of (nearly) every en-gineering and computing program have been especially successful in helping to achieve this goal.The second intended goal of such activities is to help students learn the technical, conceptual mate-rial by engaging in suitable activities with their fellow-students rather than just listening passivelyto lectures. At the same time, many engineering and computing faculty have serious concernsabout introducing such activities to any serious extent in their courses; primary among these con-cerns is the potential negative impact of such activities on topic coverage.

theflipped classroom model. Using graded online quizzes encourages students to go over thematerial before class and holds them accountable for their learning. The online quiz allowsstudents multiple attempts until they get the correct answer along with direct feedback. This hasbeen proven to increase students’ retention and acts as a motivation for them to learn (M. L.Epstein et.al.,2002; R. E. Dihoff et al.,2003; J.D. Tune et al, 2013; J. Bergman and A. Sams,2014). Another method to hold students accountable for their learning and preparation for theclass in a flipped classroom design is team-based learning as proposed by OP McCubbins et al.,2014.

Many of the principles of lean thinking can also be applied tothe educational process. This paper examines the implementation of lean management principlesin the design and delivery of a traditional lecture-based engineering course – Kinematics ofMachines.The format of a typical kinematics course relies on lectures, homework, exams, and perhaps adesign project as a means for transferring knowledge from the instructor to the students. In thispaper, lean thinking principles are applied to redesign the kinematics course format to increasethe effectiveness and efficiency of the knowledge transfer process

However,there are significant differences between ECE490 and our capstone design classes. First, unlikesenior design, ECE490 has a single course objective: Students will be able to apply theengineering design process. Second, it is a truly multi-disciplinary class, and in ECE490engineers of all majors (bio, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical) work on multi-disciplinary teams developing solutions to real world problems.One of the most significant differences between ECE490 and the senior design sequence is
