Specifically, teachers can situate theengineering design concepts into their curriculum by crafting a lesson rather than attempting tofit a pre-packaged generic lesson into an existing and, perhaps, rigidly structured curriculum.The lesson development opportunities provide teachers with an active learning experience,wherein they first experience exemplary engineering design challenges as participants and thencreate design challenges. Formative feedback was provided by peer teachers and professionaldevelopers as the teachers developed the lessons

The key results of the teacher focus groups were: • Instrumentalist approach to study and module choices. • High demand for accountability in marking schedules. • Studying to a perceived “expected answer”. • Confirmation that NCEA had resulted in a more modular (i.e. less integrated) approach to learning. • Identification that the new NCEA Physics Curriculum places less reliance on mathematical ability. It was now not possible to achieve a pass in an NCEA module without being able to adequately answer “explain” type questions. This represents a major departure from previous curricular practice.Predictors of SuccessThe key factors that lead to success in this course were investigated by

This aim, however, is oftendifficult to incorporate into the design of engineering curricula, which frequently separatetechnical learning from “soft skills” coursework in interpersonal, professional and technicalcommunication.

. The roadmap consists of the curricula students engage inand the assessments used to determine if they have met certain standards. Unfortunately, not allstandards set by educational institutions offer a roadmap for curriculum development andassessment.This is particularly problematic in engineering education, because a critical component of thepractice – engineering design – has traditionally been difficult to assess. In this paper, we outlineand test an approach to addressing this problem. We examine a set of engineering designeducation standards and then propose and test a method for developing curricula and assessmentthat is closely linked to those standards.ABET Criteria for Student OutcomesIn undergraduate engineering education, ABET, Inc

Within engineering education, there are inherent links to professional practice and engineering education practice which have evolved in response to these changes. An example of this is apparent in the recent thrusts to include communication in the engineering education curriculum as a result of the inputs from industry and the profession1.

Forexample, one faculty member described a departmental state that encapsulated this issue in thecommunication channels between faculty and students: From a university, college, and departmental level there’s a lot of discussion about ethics, and I think every body’s on board.
