It has been stated byLitzinger et al13, that engineering education should encompass a set of learning experiences thatallow students to construct deep conceptual knowledge, to develop the ability to apply keytechnical and professional skills fluently, and to engage in a number of authentic engineeringprojects. Furthermore, engineers also need to be able to work in teams and across disciplines22.Both of these degree programs presented in this paper follow these best practices in engineeringeducation but ACEEES does it to a greater degree in

thought that wasa good exercise. That is, it is difficult to collaborate with each other. So, you need to be tolerant.Or, sometimes, you need to do more and don’t have high expectations towards others.Sometimes, other team members are better than you. So, it becomes a dynamic process, like,who is going to be the leader of the group. If you think other group members are not so good,you should, don’t complain. Instead, you can undertake more responsibilities; just try to be theleader. If there is someone better than you in the group, then try to be a follower. So I think, it isabout a cooperative mode. I think being in the laboratory is the same as well. That is, you shouldappreciate others' advantages and discover the strengths of others.”In this

In addition to being a practicing physician, he leads a research laboratory focused on issues re- lated to bacterial fouling of materials. In the context of human health, the work concentrates on infections of implanted medical devices. In other contexts, his work focuses on ways to prevent, or even facili- tate, bacterial interactions with engineered surfaces. Examples of the former include preventing fouling of industrial surfaces. An example of the latter is the development of new technologies to enhance the detection of low-level bacterial contamination in clinical samples and food.Prof

Coursework andextracurricular activities were also explicitly asked to understand their effects on students overtime. A sample survey can be found in Appendix I.It should be noted that these chemical engineering students average two to three classpresentations per semester after the freshman year. One presentation is required for the chemicalengineering laboratory practicum to discuss the results of their lab. Typically, these chemicalengineering students also had a

Despite ABET’s communication requirement, engineeringundergraduate students have limited opportunities to learn to write in their discipline [7]. Often,explicit writing instruction is limited to two courses: one in first-year writing, and one thatfocuses on engineering writing. The other writing engineering students do is integrated implicitlyin design and laboratory coursework. In these contexts, writing practices are often renderedinvisible as students are asked to fill forms, draw sketches, and incorporate appropriate equationsinto reports rather than write essays or reflections [6].
