Undergraduate students from various science and engineering disciplinesfrom all over the USA participated in these pollution prevention research activities.Engineering faculty mentored students for an eight-week period. While research was theprimary activity, other community building modules, seminars, social events andcommunication strengthening exercises were an integral part of the Pollution Preventionexperience. A special workshop on environmental ethics and environmental justice wasalso offered to help students connect pollution prevention

The history of practice in many engineering disciplines is,in large part, the story of failures, both imminent and actual, and ensuing changes to designs,standards and procedures made as the result of timely interventions or forensic analyses. Inaddition to technical issues, professional and ethical responsibilities are highlighted by therelevant cases. Student learning was assessed through surveys and focus group discussions.Students were asked specifically about the technical lessons learned, as well as their response tothe case studies.

In this paper the pilot study and itsresults are being discussed .IntroductionA paradigm shift is taking place in engineering and technology education. This shift is beingcaused by a number of forces. The National Science Foundation (NSF), the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology Education (ABET), the changing expectations of employers,emerging knowledge related to cognitive theory and educational pedagogy (such as thedocument “How People Learn”1) are some of the forces that are

and the Achievers (i.e., high ACT students). This resultis not surprising, in that students with high ACT scores are typically in greater need ofmotivation than they are of academic ability. This is particularly true for the Purpose Seekers,who have plenty of academic ability but lack the motivation and work ethic required to deliver ahigh GPA. For those who ultimately graduated, the results of Figure 7 suggest that EGR 101provided (or at least contributed to) the motivation they needed.As shown in Figure 8, students who ultimately graduated in engineering indicated that EGR 101increased their chances of success in engineering (i.e., self-efficacy) more strongly than students

Whilethe project had many successes, faculty observed that students did not quantitatively analyzedesign alternatives and chose a final design with only qualitative justification5. As a result, inFall 2005, the sequence of design projects given to students was modified to include a simpler,four-week startup project that involved building and

In each case study the protagonists are presented with a design problem, whichstudent teams will solve later in the course.
