Currently in their second cycle, the revised instructional methods for thecapstone course also were designed to increase student-instructor interaction and studentengagement, and focus on students’ preferred learning styles. The revised methods have resultedin an increased breadth and complexity of problem-based learning assignments and an apparentimprovement in third-party test results. This paper is believed to offer a new perspective on anintegrated instructional approach and the use of third-party testing as an objective measure in theprogram’s curriculum development processIntroductionBowling Green State

educating them in the skills, competences, and toolsnecessary to cope with them, are necessary in the education of every engineer. This paperhighlights the integration of ethics into an existing, traditional industrial engineeringundergraduate course at the senior level. In particular, we show how traditional optimizationassignments can be reformulated to blend mathematics and ethics. Therefore, we do not followthe path of developing an independent, elective course that focuses on ethical issues.Furthermore, integration of ethics is not performed through case studies on which students canreflect on their own experiences. Instead, we embed ethical issues in traditional industrialengineering knowledge. In this way, ethical conflicts reveal themselves

In the last two weeks, we introduced theinstruction set architecture and discussed microcontroller organization and assemblyprogramming. Since the majority of students had no experience with C prior to this course, thefirst two weeks were primarily dedicated to a quick ramp-up in C programming.

the contrary, Charette (2013) suggested that there are more STEM workers than suitable jobsand many STEM graduates work for non-STEM related jobs. Whether one thinks there is a STEMshortage or surplus, an important factor that hinders any STEM graduate from securing a STEMjob is their inadequate level of academic preparation for college. This preparation begins in gradesK-12.STEM integration in K-12 has been on the rise since the idea was introduced almost a decade ago(Nathan & Pearson, 2014). Zuger (2015) noted the most commonly reported challenges that theK-12 schools are facing to implement STEM programs are funding (48.4%), inadequate K-8education (46.5%), insufficient teacher PD (46.4%), unclear best practices for STEM education(35.3
