Innovation (i2i) Laboratory, which opened in August 2008 and houses classrooms and laboratories used by the 2000 students in Purdue’s First-Year Engineering Program. He oversaw the daily operation of the i2i lab, and was responsible for the personnel, logistics, and technology used in the classroom and labs. Eric also helped build and directed the College of Engineering sponsored Artisan and Fabrication Lab (AFL), which houses a machine shop, carpentry shop, and a prototyping lab used by all students in the College of Engineering for project work. In 2009, he received a New Employee Staff Award of Excellence from the College of Engineering for his work in launching the i2i lab. Eric has served as the university

DTP Bi-Weekly WorkshopsYear 1 students participated in seven workshops in the Fall and another seven in the spring.Most workshops were focused around topics in the book Teaching Engineering (2nd Edition) byWankat and Oreovicz [4]. Candidates were required to read sections of the book prior to theworkshop and come prepared to discuss at the workshop.Workshop topics and concepts included:  Writing course outcomes and objectives  The case for active learning  Teaching with technology  Testing, HW and grading  Student cheating and classroom discipline  Teacher and student interactions (role playing)  Formative and summative course assessments and evaluations  Learning theories  Consideration of

Theplan is to continue expand the DFO mindset throughout all of engineering at the university. Partof that will be encouraging faculty to leverage the digital assets created to benefit their on-ground classes. It is also a goal to collaborate with other higher learning institutions to continueto improve the process and to better serve all student populations.References[1] J.E. Seaman and J.

Conduct research on multi-scale problems to improve the understanding and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). 2. Apply the creative process to solve engineering problems applied to CVD treatment or intervention. 3. Be able to describe the process of translating research into marketable technology. 4. Be able to identify requirements for success in graduate and professional schools.As stated in the second objective listed above, one of the core elements of the program is linkingthe creative process to the scientific method.

To create the model, we consulted the accreditation framework of theAccreditation Board of Engineering Technology (ABET), work assessment centers for managers,other competency frameworks [6], and faculty members at the Department of Engineering andNatural Sciences at the University of Tulsa.After consulting with advisors of the engineering department, definitions of each competencywere drafted and disseminated to the remaining engineering faculty for comment. Reactionswere uniformly positive, and while some definitions were modified based on faculty input nocompetencies
