followed learning outcomes, and integrated learningwith team teaching of modules. Their response was to revamp the curriculum to be highlyintegrated and focused on problem-based learning to develop transferable and conceptual skills(Gomes, et al., 2006). Another study at the University of Barcelona looked at adapting theirchemical engineering curriculum to be more student-oriented and structured around theundergraduate and master’s degrees. They changed their curriculum gradually to have moreemphasis on ethics, feedback, and collaborative learning. Their findings were that although moretime consuming, both students and teachers responded positively (Iborra, et al., 2014). A similarstudy was completed at Newcastle University, and resulted in using

Use of these components is required for multiple laboratories and studying them earlier made the lecture content and laboratories more in tune.A practical limitation of the inquiry-based approach with respect to electronic circuit designis that the laboratory room needs to be stocked with an abundant choice of parts as thestudents may select different combinations of components for the same

engineeringeducation field in general, a number of investigations have been conducted to explore therelationship and importance of empathy, self-awareness, and social-awareness in engineeringstudents [11-14]. These studies reveal the importance of empathy for effective innovation andengineering design. In biomedical engineering design, a more in-depth understanding of theentire patient experience may provide for more innovative and effective design alternatives.The efforts discussed in this paper to address the inclusion of the disease pathway and the entirepatient experience into the educational opportunities for biomedical engineering students are onestep to more effective integration of the liberal arts and humanities into an engineeringeducation.

Engineers solvecomplex open-ended design problems with a variety of technical and non-technical constraints.In many engineering courses, this kind of decision-making can lack realistic context (Jonassen etal., 2006; Jensen, 2015) and may often be reduced to the elimination of all or most of the real-world constraints. Research on the decision making process of engineering

Oneway for students to gain and practice documentation and technical communication skills in apractical setting is through the experiential courses throughout the curriculum (i.e. laboratorycourses).Given the increasing presence of social media as well as other methods of electroniccommunication, computer mediated activities provide an opportunity to educate students in afamiliar setting. Electronic documentation is also gaining popularity in research laboratories andindustries, as well as in the medical and other professional fields, all in which
