The integrated engineering topics introduced in ME 1000include: design methodology, mechanical hardware, manufacturing tools, spreadsheets, 3DCAD, Newton’s laws for linear and rotational motion, graphing and numerical techniques,statistical analysis, oral and written communication, teamwork, and safety. ME 1010 builds onthese topics and additionally introduces computer programming, electricity and magnetism,electronic circuits, economics, and ethics. These topics are introduced and reinforced in thevarious course components: lectures, labs, reading assignments, problem sets, a team

In the past year the project was cast as a competition where thelowest energy usage device wins a prize. Students quickly discovered the values of successiveprototyping, system identification, and general mechanical engineering principles includingfriction, gearing, and motor fundamentals.

educationThe study of academic emotions in engineering education with the intent of informing classroompractices, assessment, and instructional interventions is limited. In 2015, Husman and colleagues[18] explored the emotions of engineering students enrolled in an ethics course. The researchersused self-reports and salivary cortisol at the beginning and end of class and found a negativecorrelation between class-related positive emotions (i.e., enjoyment) and students’ cortisol levels.The more enjoyment students self-reported, the less psychological stress they experienced andthe better they performed.Villanueva and colleagues have reported using self-reports with electrodermal activity sensors[19], [20] while Goodridge, Call, and colleagues have used

Engineering DesignAbstractAs engineering students consider the economic, social, political and ethical aspects of design,they are often treated as compulsory aspects that must be checked off a list as they dive deeperinto the technical aspects of design. Getting students to appreciate the real-world societalrelevance as an integral part of design is often challenging. The World Energy Exercise, whichintegrates an interactive and state-of-the-art computer simulation with a role-playing exercise,opens a social and active learning pathway, which helps students connect their engineeringdesigns with real-world societal relevance. The exercise enables students to control variousenergy related policy levers that impact global climate change. One lever in

The Codes are written so that they can beincorporated into an equipment purchase contract for use in conducting an acceptance test, andthey are meant to be applied to a field test as opposed to a laboratory or shop test. There areabout 40 “equipment codes” and about 15 “supplements” covering fundamental measurementtechniques and test (measurement) uncertainty.The PTCs can provide a useful bridge between college courses in the energy stem andinstrumentation/measurement and the “real world”. Also, the introduction to the ASME Codesand Standards activity and the part that individual engineers play in developing voluntarystandards is obvious link to the topics of professional ethics and

One of the KEY graduates whodual majored in history and anthropology, created an afterschool youth development program forat-risk students. The program integrates tutoring, athletics, community service, and ethics. Ateam of recently accepted KEY students with chemical engineering majors launched asustainability consulting firm.

State University’s Professional Learning Institutelists five areas of learning that have been added to that school’s curriculum in order to meet theconcerns of ABET and various professional societies: ethics, leadership, innovation, civic andpublic engagement, and global culture and diversity.4 While the particulars of this program’simplementation are not important for this discussion, Siller’s paper makes it clear thatcommunication skills are not being introduced to technical curricula in isolation.

appreciation for international engineering cultures; gain knowledge of, and sensitivity to, cultural norms; understand the differences in problem definitions and problem solving strategies that exist between cultures; and gain an appreciation for ethical responsibilities.Before proceeding with an overview of assessment and a frank evaluation of the efficacy of thePMFC, it is important to note that few of the core and experimental components detailed aboveare truly original in form. Workbooks, blogs, instructional videos, case studies and concept-based evaluation tools, for example, all have been utilized, with varying degrees of success, ineducational contexts7-9,13-28. As such, the true novelty of the PMFC largely stems from
teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broadconsiderations. The need to teach design has traditionally been addressed in Capstone courses.There is a trend to introduce design earlier in the curriculum such as through first-yearintroduction to engineering subjects or through required design “cornerstone” subjects2.A difficulty frequently observed in design projects is that students begin work too late. This hasbeen referred to as “time scallop” -- as deadlines are approached, effort levels rise rapidly andfall back to low levels repeatedly2. A challenge to implementing early design experiences inengineering programs is the readiness of the student population for hands-on design work. Fewstudents have been exposed to manufacturing equipment in
