In preparing for their visits to thecommunities, the students were taught some basic interviewing skills and had to apply them asthey stayed overnight in the rural communities. They also needed to observe the daily routinesand work habits of the people living in the communities. They discovered a number ofproblems/opportunities through these in-field observation

experiential, multidisci- plinary learning. Rogers co-developed the ABET approved year-long Capstone design experience. With a focus on pro- viding students with a broader experience base, the multidisciplinary program applies teams of engineers, business, design, and other students to work with Ohio companies to help them be more competitive and with local non-profits to help them become self-sustaining. Using a formal design process, teams develop new products to meet industries’ competitive needs or those of people with disabilities. Students learn to solve open-ended problems and gain skills in critical thinking, professional communication, ethics, and teamwork. Rogers recently expanded this one-year program to a

 Effectively manage projects Character  Discern and pursue ethical practices4. Thermodynamic Course Module4.1 OverviewStudents tackle an iterative, team-based design problem, where they are small start-up companiescompeting to build an electric-generating power plant. The project provides students not onlywith the understanding of how to apply electric-generating power plant theory, but also howdesign is integrated with, and influenced by, economic, socio-political, and environmentalfactors. These are all factors the entrepreneurially-minded engineer must be aware of, and keepin mind, throughout their career.4.2 DetailsThe work proposed here consists of an educational module designed for thermodynamics (a

Co-curricular experiences have beenshown to increase student engagement 23, enhance self-directed autonomy 24, nurture leadership25and enrich ethical decision making 26.

First, a number of professors in the Valparaiso UniversityCollege of Engineering have noticed improvements in attitude and work ethic among thestudents taking the class. Second, these students have bonded as friends based upon this longershared experience. Finally, they have taken on an almost evangelical approach to campaigningfor the continuation of the semester-long version of Creativity and Innovation in the EngineeringDesign Process. These sentiments come through in a number of the comments made by thestudents in the course evaluation (see Table 3).Table 3. Student feedback on semester-long course

Some readily accessible QS topics related to biosensors include;the inertial motion measurement based Wii Remote and various smartphone apps,electromyography based Myo Gesture, and pressure based Nike Hyperdunk in-shoe sensors. Thenew QS devices also raise many interesting professional and ethical questions, such as; “Whatconstitutes a medical device?” and “What safeguards are in place for privacy and security ofpersonal and/or health related data?”In addition, the QS theme can be used to motivate a variety of academic topics (Figure 2

Storytelling Based Learning offers a way to approach andcreatively manage the long list of skill-sets required for effective engineering education. We suggest Storytelling Based Learning as a type of disciplinary knowledge creation.There are several levels, categories, and taxonomies of knowledge that vary from learningsyntactical knowledge to semantic understanding and to pragmatic approach where disciplinaryknowledge can be applied to new situations where knowledge boundaries are spanned acrossdifferent disciplines assuring a holistic view

Unfortunately, in practice 49,50 the BMC is notwell equipped for entrepreneurship in fields where there are high barriers to entry. Experimentationand “failing forward” works well in markets that are fluid, have low regulatory and manufacturingbarriers, and few ethical questions. But most mature markets, which compose the vast majority ofpositions available to entry level engineers, are not of this type. The airline, automobile, medicaldevice, chemical processing, food, agriculture and biotechnology industries cannot adopt a “failforward” attitude. In fact, in
