This claim that materials scientists and engineers integrate other disciplines– and that this is a core skill in this community – is the lynchpin of this paper and the launchingpoint for the upcoming sections.Integration-based AssessmentIf integrating diverse sciences to explore, explain, and engineer complex phenomena is a core skill– and really the core – of the discipline, then how do we prepare students for it? Consequently,how do we assess for this skill?At a high (read: curriculum) level, recognizing and teaching with the awareness of the diverseepistemologies at play in materials science and engineering can already be a major step in thisdirection

The electrical engineeringtechnology (EET) program, with a current curriculum that includes a large number of courses toprovide the foundation for mechatronics, is taking its turn in the development of a mechatronicsconcentration area. This paper discusses the introduction of mechatronics specialization throughconcertation areas in the mechanical and electrical engineering technology programs at OldDominion University, with emphasis on the implementation challenges. This specializationmodel offers students the choice to incline the balance between the electrical and mechanicalcomponents of their mechatronics education through their major and minor selection, and

ESCC consists of six core coursestaught by teams of ME faculty with clearly set educational objectives and managed by acoordinator and trained teaching assistants. Though essay type examination questions candemonstrate positive learning outcomes, multiple choice questions are better to pinpoint areas ofconceptual difficulties.

IntroductionCSR is a controversial concept, and interpretations of CSR are deeply informed by one’spersonal and political views [5]. Proponents of CSR, for example, view it as a vehicle fortransforming businesses to create shared economic, social and environmental value forthemselves and their stakeholders. In contrast, some skeptics from inside of the business worldview CSR as an intrusion on free market principles (see [6] for an early and famous example).And critics of capitalism in general argue that CSR allows corporations to capture and reframesocial problems “in such a way as to align with the agendas of

Learning, in this vein, becomes a cyclical process in which newmeanings and perspectives are gained. There have been calls to integrate reflection within theengineering education curriculum, which implicate reflection as an essential skill for helping tocultivate a strong sense of professional identity, increase critical thinking, and deepen learningthroughout the engineering educational experience [10] [11] [12]; however, these calls have notdeveloped rich insights into how to design, embed, and create reflection activities that encouragedifferent perspectives

This includesdeveloping measurement protocols, study methodology, quantifying experimental uncertainty, anddata-reduction. In laboratory courses that support engineering science courses (examples includestrength of materials and fluid mechanics), time constraints can limit inclusion of experimentaldesign and detailed guidance on technical writing.This paper describes the development and implementation of this unique course.

The older curriculum had become outdated, was notteaching our students what we thought they needed, and was not preparing the students for therest of the mechanical engineering program and beyond.As our graduating students completed exit surveys, common criticisms of the program included aperceived lack of software availability and a deep knowledge of how to use the software, lack ofpreparation for constructing prototypes (mechanical and/or electrical), and lack of product designinstruction and practice.

ContextBeginning in the Fall of 2014 we instituted a major curriculum update in Electrical andComputer Engineering at the University of Virginia. Our basic three-course sequence of"Circuits," "Electronics," and "Signals and Systems" was replaced by a new sequence,"Fundamentals 1,2, and 3". Our approach focuses on a learning studio technique with highlyintegrated laboratory and lecture components [3],[4]. In each successive course, many of thesame topics are covered, and at an increasing depth of understanding. This approach has beenshown to increase learning of complex topics while minimizing the cognitive load at each phase[5].A substantial portion of this approach is a tightly integrated lecture-laboratory approach, i.e., alearning studio; our

This proves that one of the obstacles of engineer’s participation andinfluence is the lack of public policy knowledge. By reviewing engineer’s education curriculums,in the USA educational system, engineers are not exposed to any course related to public policy.The integration of public policy courses into engineer’s education is vital, especially that engineersrecognize that the technical details matter in many policy issues.

disabilities. Design is an integral part of engineering education at Olin College of Engineering. In Olin College’s largely project-based curriculum, students spend much of their time in design teams. These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member. As larger numbers of students with identified non-visible disabilities enter engineering schools, and engineering schools increasingly adopt project-based design courses, the
