Therefore we were not able to prove our test hypothesis that the upper-classengineering students would score higher on the NSPE ethics practice exam than the freshmanstudents.In an attempt to gain greater insight into the results we compared specific questions with a highcorrect score percentage (≥ 80%) and those with a low correct score percentage (≤ 20%) for eachof the survey groups. The results, shown in Table 3, are virtually the same and further supportthe overall findings that the [Institution’s] curriculum of integrated ethical leadership courseswere not effective in enhancing participants’ performance on the NSPE ethics examination.

We devote more time to the study of the PIDcontroller in particular because there are so many applications in various industries. For example,power plants need a PID controller to obtain desired control performances.

Engineeringdepartments offering a standalone course on engineering ethics may offer it as either an electiveor required course [14]. Alternatively, a department may require a standalone course, but it maybe offered in the philosophy/religion department or engineering school [15]. The requirement ofstandalone course focused on engineering ethics in four-year curriculum has been challenged byCruz & Frey [10] and Tang et. al.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool to examine the environmentalimpact of a product or process throughout its life and the use of LCA in all areas of civilengineering is becoming more common, e.g. [2]–[11]. In addition, the ABET CE criteria states,“The curriculum must prepare graduates to… include principles of sustainability in design” [12].The

While this was not taking the technical information and placing it in a new context, itwas an attempt to get students to think outside the box in terms of how they could learn thematerial. As such, it coaxed students into considering perspectives beyond their own and hadthem integrate information from different sources which is a key aspect to the Connectionsoutcome of the KEEN framework.“A World with Infinite Conductance” was a post lecture problem-based learning activitydesigned to get the students to apply the concept of conductors to

This requiresstudents to bridge multiple disciplines with different pedagogical frameworks. In addition to thesechallenges, medical technology and knowledge is constantly and rapidly evolving, causing some contentto become obsolete before graduation. Therefore, it is imperative that BME students develop knowledgeacquisition, integrative thinking, and problem-solving skills in order to prepare for and adapt to thebreadth and pace of the field.Drawing inspiration from medical education, problem-based learning (PBL) has emerged as an effectivestrategy for mitigating these challenges in BME education [1-3].

Many literaturedescriptions of curricular change have reported a process that focuses on stakeholders such asstudents, alumni, and employers along with the above-referenced guidance documents, but doesnot contain a substantial benchmarking effort [1, 6-11]. Less common in the literature is theapproach of benchmarking curriculum changes against a set of “competitors”. One approach isshown in [12], in which other curricula are compared based on how they integrate experimentaltraining into the program. This approach is consistent with the typical engineering designprocess, in that a wide range of
